It's nothing to do with getting on his back, it's that even playing at his best he isn't an ideal use of a quota spot.

Halfbacks that are OOC in the NRL I would target. Chris Sandow and Ben Roberts. There may be more halfbacks on this list worth looking at. nznrl.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/o ... yers-2011/

No chance in Sandow Dave.

I would look at Roberts though think he could get a new deal in the NRL.

Fair enough on Sandow, wasn't sure what the Souths cap would be next season.

Always liked Roberts when I have seen him, not getting a game this year though, not sure why?

Any other halfbacks on list worth looking at Sheldon?

Canterbury have signed Keating and Hodkinson so Roberts is not required.

If Sandow left souths he'd easily get a NRL deal.

Seymour could find himself looking for a club, I don't really know how smiths going.

I've only seen him play once but would Kieran Foran be worth a look at? He's only 21 and had a good game for Manly at 6 last weekend.

He's brilliant, Peter Sterling rates him higher than any other youngster in RL.

He won't be leaving the NRL for a few years yet.

He doesn't shirk in the tackling stakes either, he's gonna be some kiddy.

id be looking at ben roberts

aswell as ben roberts a guy called Siuatonga Likiliki (pronounced licky licky?) is occ and is a very good young centre and i would hope that the club try and get him

And the rumour mill continues to churn.

Saying that, I thought his kicking game in the 09 season was great FWIR.

The signing of Wade Graham and the emergence of Albert Kelly though, coupled with inconsistent and subpar performances, has seen Smith stuck in NSW Cup for 2011.

JOY!

Nothing changes!

I blame Will Sharp

Smiths about as good as it will get, we'll be lucky to get him in all honestly.

Then let's not bother and go with the kids.

Then we'd get murdered every week and they'd be outrage that we aren't spending the cap.

If you think it's bad for 2012 wait till the NRL expands and they have to find at least 50 new players!

Williams should be good enough, he needs to be blooded.

Would you go with Williams and Horney/A.N.Other in the halves?

There's not many 20 year old halfs in world rl organising a side.

He's got a few years to learn his trade and shouldn't be rushed.

He'll be 21 next year, age is no barrier as far as I am concerned.

I'd go Williams/Obst and see how it goes, the season is pretty much over if we don't try something.

Tommy Lee was the stand out half of his age, he's only now playing half decent at 7.

Tommy was rushed through and bigged up which didnt help.
We have the perfect opportunity to bring some of our kids in gently.. Williams been one of them. I'd like to see him given a game during Longs ban. (rather than Houghton playing 80 mins with Obst at 7)

At least that way if Williams is out of his depth Obst can step in, but we need to give him a chance.
