Why did we throw Timmy under the bus?

[Avenger]

Did ya see him last night? If you did you were lucky, MIA, as per usual.

Poor old Sharks. Take Paul Gallen out and they would be lucky to beat a NSW Cup team.
BUT I agree with Bazal, he'll NEVER be back at the Eels, so why worry about him....he's Sharks fans problems now.

Tim Smith is a very limited halfback. I never want him back.

 

[Snoochies]

So Mortimer played better than Smith tonight?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Timmy Smith is useless

 

[lucablight]

I didn't see the game but I know the useless, limited ordinary Tim Smith scored a solo try against the Eels. Incidentally the sharks won the game by one try.

How did Smith go last week?

It doesn't count to watch the performance of a Sharks player against us - they always grow extra appendages and play out of their collective skins!

He's still sh*t and mentally the most piss weak player that I have seen in a long time.

Give him credit, he was good tonight. His Kicking game was awesome.

Come on Jake if he didn't score that try he would have been canned universally. He is a shadow of the player he was in 2005.

 

[strider]

yeah his kicking was good and we fell for the "tim smith doesn't run" card trick .... he played well, but he was hardly their best or anything .... all night i was thinking someone just run up and smash him when he runs sideways and he'll shrink into his shell the rest of hte game

Warren Ryan seemed to think he went alright.

He's living in the past as is Tim with his ability.

Yep he is a Shadow of the player back in 2005 but that Shadow out played both our halfs tonight.

Mortimer and Keating had all the time in the world to find the green green grass but all they found continuously was the fullback and wingers.

That's because they are used to the best player on the planet always doing it for them. KK puts too much height on his kicks, while Mortimer has a pop gun long range kicking game.

While I think Mortimer and K. Keating are both good players I don't believe we have a player in the team other than Hayne who has a good kicking game and/or can put people into gaps. Mortimer and K. Keating are both primarily ball runners and Hayne shouldn't have to do it himself all the time. Because of this I think it was a mistake not snatching up Tim Smith when we had the chance but it can't be helped now.

 

[Jake the snake]

Personally I thought KK was disappointing tonight.

We should have bought Hodkinson back when we had the chance. Now he is too expensive.

Humble looked good and was taking alot of initiative.

Personally I thought KK was disappointing tonight.

He certainly wasn't his livewire self, perhaps his knee wasn't 100%

He gets tackled way too much for a 6. I still believe that at 6 Mortimer is better then KK. Different types of 5/8ths but I still like Mortimer more.

I still don't think Mortimer is a playmaker although DA says he is a destined 7.

His passing is slow, no spiral passes, doesn't put people into holes but more hospital passes, his attacking kicking game is non-existant and his long kicking game is like in the air straight to the back 3.

HOWEVER, he is a lamb type backer up player and did a real good job today at that.
