Disagree completely. Tomkins coming in off the bench is fine for now. And people shouldn't forget how well Tim Smith can play, we need to keep faith in him for the time being.

And why ruin that by rushing him into a starting position right away?

Start him on the bench again on Saturday and carry on doing so if he performs well. If he is consistantly performing well from off the bench then start him and see how he goes from there.

Silly comment. Smith is an Ex Dally M winner and once he finds his form he is a class player.

I totally agree. He did look the part on Saturday, and played well, but there is a danger of getting too carried away.

Seen this with your own eyes or is it yet more hearsay?

The thing that I found interesting is just how lethargic we look when Smith is on the field when compared to Tomkins on Satuday.

I think given his defensive frailties Smith is in the last chance saloon and if he continues to show some of the major flaws he has so far this season against the Bulls he may well, and rightfully so, find himself in the reserves, which i do not think would do him much harm and may be what he needs.

I agree with the rest though Tomkins off the bench again for me, and a big reaction from Smith needed.

This is how it should be for at least the next 6 games
