Josh Smillie: The 194cm No.1 contender who has questions to answer

Josh Smillie stands at 194cm and has shown he knows how to use every centimetre of his hulking frame. But after a carnival which raised more questions than answers, it's his sky-high upside that would see him go as high as No.1, writes Jasper Chellappah.

Smillie when asked about going to Richmond with all the other new draftees coming too - "Its very exciting. I think everyone wants to go there right now"

 

[Tiger2709]

Do we even have a 195cm player on our list?

We do now❤

 

[Wavvey]

If this bloke turns into the player he could potentially become, he could end up the best player from the draft and one of the most dominate players in the country.

 

[peternorth]

Do we even have a 195cm player on our list?

No. only half back flankers

These boys get the chance to make the club their own, big club lots of supporters why wouldn't you want to come here.

On that I felt a bit sorry for FOS.

[Carnthefkntigs]

Could be the best player in the draft. Like this pick with Lalor at 1.

 

[Bojangles17]

Just a natural born midfielder, handles the ball like it’s on a string and always kicks long , like everyone’s basicly an i50 , will be a weapon for the RFC
Welcome go Tigerland josh and good luck

 

[brikzone]

Taranto, Hopper, McAuliffe, Lalor, Smillie coming at you…

need a small mid to add to the mix

 

[juss]

I've come around, based on what he could become, big upside.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Giant mid awesome

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Wow he got to pick 7?? Only catching up this is ****ing awesome!
I know a guy very high up at another club who reckons in his opinion when I asked him last week, he’s the best.

 

[Jim Irwins Heart]

Eagerly anticipating watching him handing Cripps a don’t argue in round 1.
