Whilst the club would have been aware, Timmy has suffered from many years with Bipolar disorder.

Whilst it can be treated, I believe it can’t be cured.

After last week’s shenanigans, with him getting booed off by a certain sector, to come back with a performance like that deserves some admiration.

The bloke has got a very good rugby brain, I just hope he can kick on through the summer.

Well played Timmy.

Also noticed he thanked the fans - great show of dignity there considering last week, good lad.

Excellent game Tim.
One moment everyone has forgot is when he grubber kicked for himself when in our own 20 - that was 1 very iffy moment but would have been class if he'd regathered & put Kirmond (I think it was) away.
Good decision (for once) by RA to drop John and put PS there instead. I truly believe IJ needs a few reserve outings and will come back a better player for it.

Perfect example of what IS WRONG with nearly every post this guy makes.

He makes a fair point about Smith but then balances it with a snide, pointless and frankly wrong post about another.

You do realise you can make a positive point without making a negative one every single time.

Perhaps if John had not been over hyped to start with - probably by folk like you.

This thread's about Tim Smith.

You have to remember Rangi Chase was Rhubarb when he 1st came over here. TBH John isnt that bad now, he's had plenty of assists and weighed in with a couple of tries. The kid needs a season under his belt before we discard him.

Yeah you're right, Chase was poor in his first game London at home, subbed off. So it took him all of one game to come good, think he played off the bench the week after when we beat wigan away. Not the worst piece of rhubarb.

I’ve no doubt Smith has the ability, at the end of the day he beat Greg Inglis to win rookie of the year in Australia a few years back. You have question whether he will ever be able to perform on a consistent basis considering his illness. I’m sure when his heads right and playing behind a decent go forward pack he could produce real quality standard rugby.

Smith is only as good as the players around him. He has great vision which sometimes goes to waste.

Unlike some of our so called fans who clearly have no vision when they chose to boo him off against Wire cos it was obviously all his fault we had capitulated in the 2nd half! What a difference a week makes.

Answered all his critics by producing his best performance in a Trin shirt.... more of the same please, Tim !!

Just hope he can take a bit of confidence from it and back it up next week.

Yep, good game against Cas for Tim, he now needs to do the same against London!
