| Quote ="Zoo Zoo Boom"If you asked all the people on here what is the spine everyone apart from yourself they would say 1,6,7,9 &13. We must agree to differ on that. Most on here would see Cameron Smith as ball playing forward.
The NRL is a different game to here far more evolved - the back row is 3 players most of the 13's in the NRL are closer to a second row forward than a prop i.e. fast running forward that has footwork and passing skills not just another battering ram. How best describes Carrigan at the Broncos who plays Lock as they call the 13 - a prop or a second row forward?'"
Nope, loose forward isn't a spine position any more. The modern role of the fullback has replaced it. Still useful to have a 13 who can play a bit though.

Gannon is a standoff now so not really likely.

Take the point but Cameron Smith has his hands on the ball more than our halves or FB this year so he is a spine player at Leeds.
He should watch that LF, Yeo at Penrith he is often second receiver, gets deep into the line before passing.class act.
Next year for me Cam Smiyh needs to speed up his passing and need 2 halves that at times tell him to get out of the way.

Walters, Lisone, O’Connor, Donaldson

I’m a McCormack fan but you can’t play him at SL level and I don’t think Rohan Smith will. He is nowhere near ready.

Agree, I think it's come to the point where he has become a spine player because of the complete dearth, especially of late, of natural organisers. Next year that should be sorted and I'd like to see him try to play through the line more. He's not without size and if he can develop a round the back offload he can set himself apart from many of his peers in the English game.

You are probably right. I really like the way he plays - not the same as Danny Mags but offers a real running threat and skilful too.
