    Smith is a better player but Farah has more skill.

    Smith is a bit overrated on this forum.

    The best hooker and in the top 5 players but he's no god. He's great if you have a team with say Benji @ 6 and Thurston @ 7 where he can be the organizer, but if you have Prince/Kimmorley @ 7, you're better off with Farah or Ennis.

    Everybody else has to blast him to make up for you sucking him off in every post.

    Smith is an organzing halfback with a good work rate.

    If Prince was at 7 then Smith is still a much better option.

    Best kicking game of all the hookers, gives good service and kicks goals. If I could pick anyone to build a team around, it'd be him.

    99% of hookers give good service, it's pretty much a requirement of a hooker. What you said anyway pretty much confirmed my thesis.

    No he isn't.


    If you put Smith in any team in the NRL, they automatically become a top 8 chance.

    Prince can play the role of an organizer and creater, so it depends which way you want him to play I guess. He's more noted for his organizing at this stage though...

  16. Speirz DG Speirs

    What do you mean by that? AFAIC you're going to build a side around him before Thurston, Hayne, Lockyer or anyone else because he organises the side.

    Same with Farah. That doesn't mean anything. Same with players like Prince and so on.

    Look at 07 or 08 when Marshall was out for the most of it. There's a good chance the Tigers could've been spooners if not for Farah. Instead Farah single handedly made them a top 8 contender.

    Yes. That's what I'm saying.

    Smith is an organzing halfback with a very good defensive workrate.

    Under the cloud of organzing comes a good kicking game and service as well. I would definitely build a team around him or Prince first.

    His running game isn't half-bad either, it's not as direct as other hookers, but he doesn't usually have as much support up the middle either.

  20. Lukic L Popovic

    By support up the middle, do you mean forwards or players running off him? Either way, it's pretty ridiculous since he has one of the best support play fullbacks in the league in Slater and one of the best packs as well.
