You come at the king - You better not miss.
It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

Sums up life as a Yawnion winger...gets his hands on the ball in the warm up and then waits on the wing for 80 mins making the odd supporting run to keep warm but with no real expectation of receiving the ball.

| Quote: BrisbaneRhino "I'd have thought that the only position he could really become a 'star' in - in either code - would be fullback. He's not got the build to be a top-flight centre and he's really not blindingly quick which for someone his size you'd want on the wing.'"
I think he could play wing ok. I'd agree he isn't blindingly quick although he's certainly not slow. What you don't mention is his awareness of space and his anticipation, particularly of kicks (both grubbers and aerial). Given the scarcity of tries in the ru prem, I don't think there's many wingers who will become stars in the foreseeable, particularly if they're dependent on chances created in the conventional way where the ball's shipped through the backs. Where Smith may stand out is by taking advantage of attacking kicks and by surprising defences in broken play. |

It's noted you didn't go looking for the ball then.  |

Didn't particularly want my head stamped on (besides the frostbite made it hard to run after the first half an hour)
Back then a union winger was expected to hug the touchline for the whole game in both attack and defence (nobody seemed to notice/care that this effectively made the game 13 a side on a 30 meter wide pitch) .

Give him time to settle in and he'll be the equal of the latter two, certainly.
Foden's way too flaky to play 15 at international level, although if Ugo Monye can get (half) a game there then anyone can.
On the subject of blinding pace, I wouldn't say Smith was particularly slower than Matt Banahan for example. |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Let's face it there aren't many Brian Habanah's in either code.  |

Habana's a bit special, his balance and acceleration are exceptional and he's not afraid of the physical side of the game either.

Interesting in that clip that the intercepted pass was thrown by McAlister(sp?) who was born here when his dad Charlie played for Oldham I think.
I always remember that he had the biggest thighs I've ever seen. Their shorts had a thin white stripe down except in Charlie's case when it seemed to be about a foot wide.
McAlister junior played for Sale & I always thought he'd have made a good RL centre but the lure of playing for the All Blacks took him back to NZ.

He's never a loose forward in a month of Sundays. |

Had the pleasure of playing against Charlie when he was briefly at Bradford & Bingley. I think they earn big money as All Blacks - it seems to be very much treated as a brand, not sure anyone could afford him at the moment. |

According to Sky's website, Wasps' next televised game is;
Thu 17 Bayonne v London Wasps (7.45pm) 7.30pm Challenge Cup
Will Smith make he's full début? I'd be interesting in watching it.

Not sure how quickly they'll throw him in. Depends how he goes in whatever reserve grade games he has before then I expect. |
