Play the balls ares are slow theres are lighting fast thats the difference.
We are moving rapidly in the right direction given the start we had to the season we can only be happy.
Just need to bounce straight back now that will be the biggest factor on if we have moved on.

We do, a young lad named Gareth O'Brien. Bit of a throwback to the old school, not particularly pacy, but can pick a pass and has a pretty accurate kicking game.

I've always thought it to be difficult to know if a young player is going to make it, sometimes it is obvious, eg; Sculthorpe and Harris as they make things look easy. But I do think O'Brien is only a couple of seasons away from making a go of it.

Just to pick you up on that, Smith has stated he hasn't had the time to check out the Reserves and Academy, so I think you are ab it off in your second guessing there.

How long has he been here. Surely TS is aware of the players in the reserves and academy, and if not he should be.

I've heard good things about O'Brien, but how much younger is he than Kyle Eastmond or Richie Myler?

Maybe that is an indication of the level of work required on the 1st team. I'm pretty sure he has the people in place to tell him who's ready to be tested, who he trusts.

I suppose if you wait long enough...
