Tim Smith - Looking for a NRL club in 2010

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I would kill to sign him.

Thoughts everyone?

 

[Joker's Wild]

Only if we can put up one of these in every pub, club and bottle-o in Newie

 

[B-dos]

for the right price id welcome him aboard.

He'd form a deadly partnership with Mullo in the halves. I think it'd be a good move for him especially to escape the Sydney media

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Classic Joker!

In all seriousness though, base contract heavily incentive based I'd like him there.

His well and truly a class above the pretenders we have with poor ole Mullen @ the moment!

 

[Newie is God's Country]

We would be stupid not to take a punt on that kid. It isn't like soemone else won't. Especially given Dureau has been linked to a move away from the club. Naturally that could all be BS. I'd sign him simply because he is a marvellous talent.

 

[B-dos]

what are the odds that our inept recruitment team dont even consider our options or ways that signing him could be achieved?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

The sad thing is B-dos with Smith going there would be zero thought for next year at the moment.

But thats the Knights we love..... "Hand to mouth" mentality and all.

Not necessarily true...they did just extend Taias contract

I for one would love to see Smith here, as long as there's a zero tolerance policy in his contract with a view for immediate termination if he breaks it.

 

[Jobdog]

Come here Tim, you know you want to

 

[perverse]

throw whatever money we can free up at him imo. obviously no dickhead policy in his contract etc.

 

[Jobdog]

Simmo to retire at the end of this year? He'd be on about 250k right?

 

[macavity]

would rather Carney if we are going for a troubled soul.

Interesting forum topic - Smith or Carney?

But isn't Carney going to the Roosters or something?

Carney and Smith?

 

[Jobdog]

No, forum topic as in Tim Smith or Todd Carney :lol:

Not Brian, we all know he's going, unless you've been hiding under a rock ;-)

Nah for mine for Carney, Tim Smith was bad but Carney was in the Julian O'Neill category.

 

[bluesbreaker]

Carney is a thousand times better player than Tim Smith, but he's taken by the Rooters, so i'll take Smith anyday of the week. Him and Wicks could form a deadly partnership in the halves.

 

[macavity]

Carney and Smith?

sorry let me clarify.

I can't imagine Todd Carney and BRIAN Smith getting along too well at the Rooters.

Can you imagine BRIAN Smith, Mason and Carney all 10mins from Kings Cross....?

In other words, BRIAN Smith may not want to sign him, or Carney may not want to go there now.

I don't know there is anything official between Carney and the Chooks. I think we should pick up the phone.

 

[macavity]

Carney was in the Julian O'Neill category.

Give him a minder (Taufua springs to mind) and put him on a short leash.

The only teams I could see him at are us, Melb or NQ - and Melb/NQ have their own issues atm.

I reckon he could kill it here. Sydney is where he will go feral.

And lets face it, who WOULDN'T go feral in Canberra/Goulburn....
