heard the lad has left parramata or been sacked is he any good

DA told him he wasnt wanted, so he cant be that good

a swap deal with tim smith or a i thinking wide of the mark

Not consistent enough.

And from the number of clubs he's joined and left you have to wonder what his attitude to the game is.

When he was on the Footy Show he seemed to mention money a HELL of alot. Probably best to stay away from another Aussie reject after a payday.

I'd rather keep Timmy Smith.

I think on the footy show he admited drinking all day with Mason, in which Mason got suspended. Not a smart move.

If it's one thing Rugby League players can never be accused of, it's being smart!

What to play in the reserves?

Slight coincedence that last week he admitted to this and the next he has left 'By mutual consent' ? There is a big clampdown in the NRL this year and I think he may have paid the price (along with an obvious personality clash with Anderson).

I think if Smith wakes up and smells the coffee (black, strong, good for hangovers

) Then he could still turn into a decent player for Wigan. He has a lot of ball skill, and a good eye, just very little application of it.

The lad really needs to decide to apply himself, or quit Rugby League for good though, especially if he ever wants to get back in the NRL.

Tim Smith is a ball playing half back, he needs runners, he needs options.

At Wigan he has little of either, and ends up looking very average.

He ends up looking average because he is a turnstyle.

Obvious something has gone on, Vouccy keeped of pushing him and he looked a bit guilty, Anderson obviously doesn't rate him and see's him as a distraction within the team.
Do we still send our convicts down under if so will the Eels ask for L. Pryce.

Not sure why so many people are making something of his drinking with Mason, they play for 2 clubs and Parra did not have the same policy as the Roosters.

He was entitled to have a drink when he did so confirming he did is not exactly headline sacking stuff.

I though he came across very well in his inverview as a very articulate and intelligent lad who simply told it like it is, i found it pretty refreshing to be honest.

The long and short of it is DA said he did not see him in his long term plans, Finch clearly has another offer on the table, in SL i would expect and DA has allowed him to walk away. If he did not have another deal lined up he would still be at Parra.

If we could get rid of Smith i would be pretty pleased to recruit Finch.

Something Noble teams don't seem to have a lot of, Smith in the right environment is a top player.

Regards Finch drinking with Mason all day, they'd said they'd only had a few cans at night and parra are allowed. It's not related to him leaving.

It all depends on what you call a few cans, two or maybe a dozen.....
