Quote: Brodie123 "I must be watching a different player, but Cameron Smith does little for me. Against Castleford on Friday night being there he did not have a good game he was no better than any of the forwards.
Going forward if everyone was fit he would not be in the starting 17.
I think how he has played these last few seasons he’s no better than Championship player at best. I know this piece will come in for a lot of stick, and it’s only my opinion, but when I saw him first as a young kid he has not developed into what I would of expected of him. As a youngster he was brilliant, but I don’t see the quality in him. Only my opinion,'"
Not saying I agree with the point about Smith, I think he's a good player. But it's interesting you say he hasn't developed how you expected. I was having a conversation with some friends on the weekend about this very thing. How many times have we seen young players with bags of potential, but never really fulfil it. I know it's a numbers game, but in Ais they seem to manage that transition better. It made me think that if the NRL ever did take over SL, maybe part of that could be using their methods over here. Whilst we don't have as many youngsters playing the game, our top ones regularly give them good games and get the wins
