Spot on ,
He usually waits by the tunnel at half time and has a go at the ref . Not sure how he gets away with it .

I'd really hope Smith isn't part of our front row plans next year, Though he's not doing great with the ball he's really got no attributes to be a prop

I’d rather Cam was in the rotation than some who haven’t got on the field this year, but I take your point, we should be aiming higher than this in our front row plans.

I hope he can be reinvigorated with a good preseason and hopefully a better pack around him. I think it's clear Arthur has trust in him as I don't think he would be pandering to any sentiment with the remit he's had and he's still been starting him.

Just had a look back at the thread on Cam Smith when he was made Captain before the season. He was gonna have “a big season”, was gonna “be a lot better with the new 6,7,9”” etc, etc. After a second poor season in a row, we are now preparing more excuses for him. Not just a new 6,7,9, we need new props for him to prosper, a new dietician, different type of pitch, different colour shirt. Some have suggested he plays as prop (bulks up) some have suggested he needs slim down and become more mobile, the list of ways we can get the best from him has become endless. The fact is he’s had the two worst seasons of his career during the prime of his career. There’s only one person gonna make it happen for Cam Smith and that’s Cam Smith.

You do know he was 2023 player if the season, don't you? I think he's been poor this year, but like some others I suspect it's partly work load related. I'll back Arthur to sort it out one way or another.

They were never going to give it to Blake Austin for obvious reasons. He was one of the few players to shine last season, Smith certainly didn’t. I’d like to see Arthur have an impact on not just Smith but other players as well, but I’d also like to see people affording as many excuses to all the players that have been poor this season not just Cam.

I would hope Seth we get a couple of decent props into the Club for next season and we won`t have to rely on Smith playing there.
It was more for the remainder of this season allowing O`Connor or even Bentley to play LF and the fact we don`t have many options to cover FR.

Trust me when Ackers heard we were interested he could not wait to get here.

You are right Cam is carrying an injury and has been for a while. The reason he came off against Catalan was due to a heavy knock.
