Smith is a great player, and is playing exceptionally well. Its a credit to him that he has taken this opportunity.

Webb was a world class player before his injury and will hopefully continue to be when he gets back. When he does come back Bluey will have a hard decision to put him if Smith continues in this form.

I think that although he has performed well on the wing in the past, he is a nutuarl fullback and when given a bit of space is dangerous with the ball. Its his foot speed that does this rather than his pace. This is why I think the management could see him as a centre. Get him more involved, rather than just getting him to finish.

I remember in 2006 before his loss of confidence, watching a few games, and noticing that when recieving the ball from a kick, he nearly always broke the first tackle, or at the least was able to half break and get quick plays. I think that we need to utilise his footwork more, and I don;t think the answer to that is on the wing.

I may even be tempted to play Webb in the centres or off the bench to start with if Smith continues on this form

I apologise, I thought you seemed to be under recognising his contribution.

Contrary to what Gareth thinks, that has actually been talked about by the players at HQ. Whether it happens, well thats a different thing.

How do you know what I think? When have we discussed playing Webb in the centres?

Have you confused me with some else?

Not at all. Since he cemented a place in the team he's been outstanding.

I'll give yuo a clue. He hasn't missed a single game for the Roosters yet.

Do you genuinely think Tansey will play in the NRL week in week out?

I hope for him he does but surely it's unlikely.

Nope. But you did state that Webb as a fullback was and I quote "Vastly Superior to Smith".

The centre issue has only been talked about since Smith as excelled there by the club. The players are ones that have mentioned it.

Of course, some others though say he is out of the club to Union.
