Hopefully, he has a similar impact on the league as what Hastings did.
On another note & looking more long term, I wouldn't be too upset if we rotated our 6 every few years. If Smith is the long term option that we all hope he is @7, then would it be a bad thing to bring in a new 6 every 2 or 3 years to mix things up?'"
I don’t think that’s a bad idea in all honesty. A refreshment every few years can be good but it can also be bad. If it’s the right 6 I’ve no issue, equally I’ve no issue if that 6 stays on for longer as long as it’s working. As previous posters have said based purely on the outcry from Manly fans and blanket positive media analysis of Cust I can’t see him being here longer than 2yrs but as we agree, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
