Player Watch #16 Josh Smillie - Updated 5-8 Weeks

[tigs2010]

An extra cm with each injury setback

If they get him off the stretching machine it might help him get on the footy field

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Contract extension soon prob?

 

[kozi]

6-8 weeks until we announce he’s out for 6-8 weeks

Could be an absolute weapon of a 2nd ruck if he ever gets his body right.

Imagine a midfielder who needs to be tagged by a ruck

[SMILLIE]

I’ll be scared of him getting injured if hes ever on the park, let alone ruck….

 

[Grrr]

Would make a good CHB if the midfield thing doesn't work so well. Great kicking skills and would be cleaner in the traffic than most backs.

Ruck mid hybrid is how the game is going anyway. Days of the old dinosaur tap ruck are dead cfl has seen to that

When you look at Nank it’s probably why our coaches have valued him as much as they have

His tap work is fine but he definitely plays like an extra mid in terms of tackles and even ground ball gets

He would need to get a lot better above his head to be a good CHB or even winger.

 

[Coach_Required]

Can't believe we drafted 4 key forwards from the super draft.

I don’t think we’ve seen a player who you can compare Smillie to yet. Maybe Luke Jackson

One things for sure, seeing Thilthorpe, Jackson roll through the midfield this year definitely gives us cause for optimism having our own 198cm monster in their and a better midfield version of them.

RICHO MARK TWO

 

[juss]

Right now he's tall and can't even get through a training program.

Long way to go so anything we get is a bonus.

 

[THE_GUN]

Count up to 200cm begins now

Powerful and skillful.

Premiership midfielder loading.

 

[Groupie_]

200cms mid is fairytale bullcrap

wont ever happen

 

[SleepingGiant]

You couldn’t make this shit up.

it's an opposition nightmare. one thing to defeat an opposition is to make them change the way they play. having smilie, lalor, hotton and Cummings rotate thru the mid field changing forward will unsettle opposition's defence for years to come.
