Tim Smith

[simostorm]

Forgot about this guy.. How did his year go? Has he been playing in the NSW cup or has he been injured?

 

[DJShaksta]

Playing NSW Cup on and off.
He never got back to his rookie form.
So much potential, but had brains snaps the size of a small planet.

 

[simostorm]

shame when these kids show potential then dont live up to it..

 

[koal4e]

Do wonder sometimes whether the potential is lost because of the coaching received or simply because of the kid themselves...

 

[typicalfan]

Biggest waste of talent ever. Doesn't have the application to make it as a full time rugby league player.

It takes more than talent to be a first grade rugby league player.

yeah.. could be one of those guys that would require a Wayne Bennett to get him going again..

He was terrrrrrible at Cronulla.

I would think he would be worth a minimum deal at souths or a club without a real 7 in 2012.

Did he ever play a game for the Broncos? I know he was with their feeder club for a short time. He was on fire in 05, may Sterlos Parra no.7 jersey remain cursed for another 10 years at least.

 

[simostorm]

is he off contract?

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Can't cop him as a player. Blows up at team mates for mistakes and missed tackles and he's a deadset turnstile.

 

[saint_marto88]

is he off contract?

If he's contracted, I can't see Sharks wanting to hold onto him or getting into a bidding war with another club

 

[jason taylor]

He's off contract. Along with Scott Porter. He's been replaced with Jeff Robson.

Anyone remember the footy show episode with him and Sterlo?? The sort of passing down of the baton to be the next great number 7 of the Eels...

yea i think i seen that one.. They were at parra stadium.. Tim Smith was showing his skills and saying how his left or right hand pass had improved more so over his natural side..

 

[Parra Pride]

I would have loved Tim Smith from 2005 in the blue and gold this year....

 

[Hooch]

What happened?? Got the yips? He has enough talent that'd he still make even if he was 70% of what he could be..

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Another one of these players thrust into first grade too early and couldn't cope with the off field part of the game. If only we had a real second tier competition to bring them along slowly

I remember them clearly making sterlo put a perfect grubber into the ingoal from 30 out, then watch Smith do the same thing but using a different technique and have sterlo heap praise on him and utter such nonsense like "I couldnt do that".

was an embarrassment for all concerned

If you can't make a position your own in a dismal Cronulla side, then its curtains. Unfortunate but those years out of the game in his early 20's really hurt him.

He played in trial games for Brisbane, but Cronulla picked him up at the end of the preseason in 2010.

Welcome to the world of the Parra fan, circa 2006-2008... especially the blowing up at teammates for his own mistakes bit.
