New Zealand Training Squad news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 185008.stm

shock horror

I would have thought his amazing performances for us would have got him a shoe-in to the squad !!!

I bet a large number of people got excited when they opened up this thread.

ME INCLUDED

missed out on the 45 man training squad and I could probably name 45 more and he still wouldnt get a look in !!!

and yeah my first thoughts were missing out for fri

Although some local media outlets did report that he was a world cup winner with them.

And which media outlet could that be?? ermmm let me think....

I know he hasn't had a good season like the rest off the team but I think he will get better like off the new players that come from over sea for next season IF WE KEEP THEM that is.

I know he hasn't had a good season like the rest off the team but I think he will get better like off the new players that come from over sea for next season IF WE KEEP THEM that is.

If only we could have signed the World Cup winning Jeremy Smith - what a player he is.

He as not played well enough to be picked i think one of the worse signings we have made this season so not suprised he aint been picked

That Jeremy was a Back Rower. ( and probably cost more , and do we need an overseas 2nd row? )

As for our Jeremy here's a question :-

Is he a bad Player , badly coached , or well coached but sticking to dull tactics..... my personal view is 2 out of 3.
I certainly wouldn't want to be him out on the pitch getting the sort of verbal abuse fans our dishing out to him at present .

Our Management probably didn't realise there were two Jeremy Smiths

Maybe?!



Kinda like Glenn Hoddle saying he wishes he could have DiMatteo playing in midfield, and ending up with D. Matteo (ie. Dominic) in the England squad?!

YOU COULD BE RIGHT "Adamjk"

You just have to give the guy a break and stop slaggin him off.ok he ain't had a good season but he's set up a few vital try this year,the kick against Leeds away that wilshire scored off and the cup match at hull where we scored off his kick again.I bet you lot where the ones booing Parker too at the start off the season too for taken the captins arm band.then liked him afterwards.smith might not off done better than cashmire,henry or swain the new signings this year but I can think off alot off more players that need looking at and questioned

you are smiths brother and i claim my £5

nar mate im just not one off them fans that slag and boo are players.people wonder why the shed is not as loud now is that its because the fans are too busy whinnin and slagging the players off in there and you cant disagree if you stand in there.pefect example was celtic last season in the play off's and they beat us.Unbeaten at home all season till then and fans boo the players off,i mean come on apart from a few seasons ago when have we had a good season!.We all know we not gonna sign top class rugby stars at the end off the day were lucky to have the likes off parker cashimere ratchford and having goulding on loan.Im not slagging the fans off,we just need to relise that we never gonna have a top class coach and world class players so rather than slaggin them off start actully supporting salford.
