What was with Tim Smith???

[Utey]

I went to watch Parra vs Roosters Premmies and i watched Tim Smith closely throughout the whole game. He playedf as if he didnt want to be there and captain James Webster didnt look to happy with him. He kept applauded and acting silly. Now how does he expect to show his clas when he continaully clowns around. I was pretty dissappointed becuase i havent missed a home game this season and i had never seen him act that way. His game suffered because of it. I know they were 40 points down but theres needs to be some degree of effort.

Good, some divvy talk... What happened?! All I can find out from here so far is the final score.

Sounds strange acting like that when you're getting beat - I hope it doesn't mean there some rift emerging or anything.

And did Flegg get a win?

 

[thedux]

My brother and I actually noticed that his kicking has also been pretty poor of late. If you watch him closely, you'll notice that his first reaction after putting in a long kick is to drift across to the wing and set himself defensively rather than chase the kick like 95% of the halves in the nrl.

And some people want him tossed in first grade already!

I thougt his biggest problem on the weekend was James Webster, always going down the blind when the backs were set and smith was calling for the ball.

 

[Utey]

Yeh Bartman i didnt see Flegg but Premmies wass 40 to 12 or sumthin. I think Roosters have secured the club championship unless Flegg is going guns. Now that i think of it he immediatly set himself defensivley which i dotn like i think he should mount as much pressure as poosible. It was very silly of Smith to be acting like that and i think he will be given a stern warning from captain and coach.

Webster is hopeless at the best of times. But if Smith is going to be FG material he needs to take control regardless of who is the hooker. It will be interesting to see the PL line-up for this week if Thorman isn't already on a plane back to sunny old england.

Seemed to me like webster wanted to run the show from dummy half.

 

[Utey]

I hope Thorman goes he isnt our future and id like to seehimgone as early as the end of the season. He goes guns one week in Premmies but as soon as the play speeds up and the attac k comes his way he cant cope. Webster makes some shockign decisions and he knows it. Webster does rise to 1st grade though as he showd last year by being a good impact/utility player.

 

[bartman]

Did Thorman play in PL this week or sit out as 18th man? And How did Armit and Muckert fare, if they played this week?

 

[thedux]

Thorman didn't play at all, the other two were average as was the whole PL side. It was 36-0 at HT so that gives you some indication of their performance.

 

[fish eel]

Thorman sat out and Muckert/Armitt were non events, as was the whole 17.

 

[Utey]

very dissapointing

Ouch!! Thanks all for the descriptions...

Didn't Muckert get MOM in premier league?

Didn't Muckert get MOM in premier league?

doesnt mean much given the score was 36 blot at half time!

 

[Eels Dude]

I rocked up when we were down 40 nil, and we ended up losing 40-16 so I only saw us playing ok.

What about Justin Hodges stuffing up both short dropouts, that was hilarious :lol:

 

[True EEL]

sounds like Thorman will probably be going back to England then and i would say that Dykes' bags are probably packed already with "Sutherland Shire" tickets on them

 

[BD5733]

Smith never took on the line himself either.

It was a shocking performance, the roosters were breaking the line at will. The joke was the 60 metre return from the EELS kickoff to start the second half.

And the Flegg team lost to the Dragons, who were fairly fresh off an 11 game LOSING streak!!!

Club Championship looks like its going to illude us this year, the Roosters are better than us in every grade except Harold Matts.

 

[Hurriflatch]

yeah, Roosters now have a 9 pt lead in the club champtionship.

oh well still got it each year since '97 til 2003

 

[Jake the snake]

The team was shocking including Tim, he usually play better than that but saying that the whole team was pathetic. Roosters forwards killed us just too strong.
