Or Sean Long, possibly?
I'm with you Morley. Just can't make him out at moment but there's something there I'm sure of that
Exactly. I'm not saying that Harry is our 7 for the next 10 years. My point is that none of us know. Even the "experts" at the club.

They were proved right in Rocky's case, but maybe wrong with Long. So my conclusion with Harry Smith is "wait and see".

Was they proved wrong with Long thought it wasn't rugby related why he left.

It wasn’t.

If Toulouse had a decent kicker they’d of won that
Is that the decent kicker that fans wanted to keep?🤔😃

Having watched the full game last night, I felt Joe Mills and Bilko both had it in for Smith. They jumped on his mistakes - even calling a few things mistakes that weren't - and praised Cust as exceptional for running onto Smith's kick through for a try and never mentioning again it was a Smith Cust combination. Without the commentary I wouldn't have picked Smith out for having a poor game TBH, and I think its telling that neither did Peet, his only comments being praise.

We have Tommy (probably) playing his last season so Smith needs to be ready to take on the half back role by then or we look elsewhere?

I don't think Joe Mills and Bilko have it in for anyone. Smith did a fair few good things, but he also made a fair few errors. Bilko made the more general point that we looked a bit clunkier in attack than recent games (bar the first 15), and Smith left and Cust right didn't seem to function as well as Cust left and Tommy right. I think that is both fair, and true.

Before the other day I've never listened to them I found them fair and honest which coming from the club makes it,for me an even better listen they didn't hold back,nor should they if a player is having an off day say so.

Cust and Tommy seems to work (albeit based on 3 games) whereas the Smith cust combo needs much more work it seems,but given what Peet said about Tommy watching from the stands and wanting to be out there I suspect he may play now of fit rather than resting him but we shall see.

Misski made the same mistake twice for their tries so let's hope he's learnt from that
