Not really something to argue over but this just isn't true.
Of course it is. No idea what you were watching last year.

Yep, this is what I am thinking too. Looking at his stats (didn't see the game) he made plenty of runs but only made 6-7metres per run, so not really where he'd want to be just yet.
I only watched the highlights of the Falcons, but the positive for me was that whilst he wasn’t the one scoring or making the big runs - he was always there as a support player ready for the pass.
Yep, he had line breaks, try assists, LB assists, offloads, kicks in play. He's building and its exciting!

If Harry Grant was playing close to 80 minutes a game last season how was it possible for Smith to play plenty of minutes at hooker?

Because a) he didn't play every game and b) he wasn't always playing at hooker when on the ground.

He did play one game at halfback against the Cowboys so you've got me there.

You're banking on Storm to lose two in a row?
You realise that both games against Canberra last year at home we were coming off 2 game losing streaks and still coughed it up against them
Did you hold or fold?
Very very humbled!

Just going off point a bit. I am back watching NRL 360. It is a FAR better show than it used to be. Braith Anasta ( Munster’s manager ) gives us a fair go. That terrible Paul Kent has been banished as co-host due to his personal issues, replaced by Gorden Tallis who again is fair to us ; and another shocker in James Hooper has been eased aside in favour of Brent Read - a Queenslander who also treats us fairly. Add Cooper Cronk , and it is actually interesting to watch - whereas it used to be a disgrace .

It is better…

But not so Hooper is there - he does Wednesdays… the journos swop each night…

The banter with Buzz and Ready plus Anasta/Tallis is the best
