Smithies was solid in the first quarter for the Raiders today, good in defence and effort plays (as always) and threw a few nice link passes.

The commentary team were saying how pleased the Canberra coaches were with Smithies.  Will be keen to see if he gets the 13 jumper for Round 1.

Made 21 tackles in only 27 minutes or so of play, pretty sensational stuff. 0 missed tackles as well.

Canberra would be silly not to start him.

Not British but French. (didn’t know what thread to put this in) Enzo Griffier on fire for the Roosters SG Ball team (U19s) scored 6 tries in his last 3 games.  The Roosters are top of the S

KPP named in the NRL team of the week 👏

It was also the thread in which we would learn that Dom Young would be rubbish forever more because he made a losing debut as a 17 year old against St Helens and was at fault for every try.

Will Pryce reportedly in for a starting sport at Newcastle.

Been training at centre with Gagai shifting to the wing.

I think it would probably be a better combo the other way around, but an interesting potential position for him.

Andrew Johns picked Will Pryce as his NRL player to watch in 2024 on this week’s Freddy & the Eighth on Channel 9.

Says his team-mates rave about him and is convinced he’ll eventually be Newcastle’s stand-off (or 5/8 in the local dialect).

As he should, he is one of the best youngsters in the world.

Is KPP still injured?

No, he played in the second round of pre-season games.

They need to get Pryce in the team somehow. He’s way to talented to be playing NSW cup.

Yeah it looks like he will be in the 13, most likely at centre but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is Newcastle’s starting 6 by the end of the year.

He's very quick, but like a turnstile in D.

He’d be a waste on the wing in my opinion. Yes he is quick but he is a lot more than just quick, his playmaking ability is incredible. Really similar player to KP, he is extremely lucky to be playing with and learning from him.

He doesn't have the passing game of Ponga IMO, but there are certainly points of similarity. I think his stepping and speed in taking on the line are currently the strongest points to his game. Defence is his big weakness. He'll have to work on that.

Can’t agree with this one bit personally, I think he is going to be a star back rower in the NRL. 6’6 with a phenomenal offloading game, he is a terrific player and really could be anything.

probably already the starting back rower for England now with Whitehead retiring.

Yeah agreed. Out of loyalty I think they’ll start with Gamble.

Prediction - by the end of the year one either Hastings or Gamble (of even both) will be moved on for 2025.

Hastings doesn't need to be worried for me - or at least not from Pryce. They've got 4 quality half-backs in Hastings, Gamble, Pryce and Cogger. It's Pryce v Gamble and Hastings v Cogger for 6 and 7 respectively IMO.

He was good enough to play for the best club side in the world. He is not going to struggle playing in the NRL, unless he has difficulty playing with less talented players I suppose.

I'm not sure he's at that level either tbh.  Hope I'm wrong though.
