Smith's attempted tackle on Ferres for the try was nothing short of (and I hate to use this word) cowardly, at one point it looked like a clip from 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

He just stayed down for ages after that try while everyone walked off under the posts. Not a good sign.
I know stand offs aren't known for being the best defenders but Smith is just taking the p"ss.

The difference being Long and Briers create things for their clubs. Last night Tim Smith just ponced about waving his arms everywhere, missing tackles and doing nothing going forward aside from a few poor kicks.

But TBH Sean Long and Lee Briers are better than Tim Smith in defense.
Before we signed Tim Smith, there were always potential issues with him defending outwide. He used to defend much further in at Parra. Also, our defence is extremely slow to slide out and our opposition are getting outside us with alarming regularity, this isn't helping us out wide. Things didn't change on that right side when he switched with Leuluai.
