[Resurrected] Brandon Smith

My thoughts .....
As resilient that Des has our team playing
We are a few quality signings away from going all the way .
We are just a couple of years from a bunch of great juniors coming through. Don't need to sign too much, just blood our own talent bit by bit (although a staggs/farnsworth/coates out wide wouldn't hurt in the meantime!)

Having said that, we'll def need manase back if we are to win the comp
 
Warriors have told Nathaniel Roache he isn’t required any longer

Has had plenty of injury concerns over the past few seasons, but he is a highly talented player that’s been down on his luck. At not much more than minimum he could be worth taking a punt on. Has plenty of skill and was lightning off the mark out of dummy half when he was playing

They are having a huge clean out over here, doesn’t really fit our needs but Bunty Afoa has been told to find a new club too, he is great to watch returning the ball 100mph off the back fence

I thought bunty was a fan favourite.. surprised their letting him go. Im pro roache.. very good player. Minimum contract would be great value. 10 times better than croker
 
We need players that make things happen. This guy is one of those guys. Just makes oppostition defences stress out big time.
Fainu is also one of these guys but he doesnt have white line fever like smith does. He challenges everyone with and without the ball.
Real footy player
 
Why would he come here? Seriously if you were a player on the rise why would you join us? Des is not the attraction he once was,young players talk when Schuster and Hoppa can't get a run yet players same age same experience get games no manager would send his player here unless desperate.
 
Brandon Smith looks set to leave the Roosters immediately in a move Phil Gould says is "interesting".

Smith had already signed with South Sydney for 2026 and 2027 but reports on Wednesday say he will join the Rabbitohs as soon as this week.

It will end a tumultuous Roosters stint for the larrikin Kiwi wrecking ball.
 
I've always been of the opinion that he's more sizzle than steak.

The media fawn over him as he is a 'character' but he is a pretty average hooker and quite good impact middle.
 
Looks like the Roosters are clearing the decks for you know who.
Think you could be right, the chooks are trying to shift Smith and Young immediately, Crawley is saying the chooks want Daly as early as next week, could this this be true?
