Canterbury sign Roosters forward Chris Smith

[cookieman909]

Didn’t get much of an opportunity. But he ran hard and tackles hard. Solid debut.

Speaking of the rooster. I tuned in before kick off and thought it was a rooster home game? What was the official attendance of the game? They say the game is stronger than ever,then why are most stadiums empty? Penrith home games don't count. There's not much to do in Penrith,that's why they always get a good turn out.

Thought he held his own tonight, fairly solid debut, nothing flash but nothing to complain about.

Hope he kicks on.

Honestly, tonight he was about 40% of his usual ISP self.

His best is coming soon.

DOGS ADD TO THEIR PACK

Canterbury has landed the signature of Roosters forward Chris Smith from next season.

At 24, Smith has had limited opportunity in the top grade which has paved the way for his move.

Having agreed to a two-year-deal, Smith could still make a move before June 30 should the Roosters sign off on an early release.

Smith began his career with Penrith in 2015 before moving to the Tricolours the following year.

With the Bulldogs handcuffed by salary cap pressures, Market Watch understands the deal is worth around $95,000 a season.

He played limited minutes, looked to be a good footballer.
After is first stint, he came off with a massive smile, coaching staff and other player seem to like him alot.

I thought he had a good first game with us, plenty to like about him. Didn't realise he was so quick for a big fella.

That first run was a goer..great speed for bigger man, see Shrek in him.

 

[Mitch Connor]

First run was great. Got buckled by Ofahengaue. Needs more time on the field.

Yep, was very happy when we signed him. Can easily turn into a hit man for us.

I liked his try against Redcliffe.

He had about 3 defenders in front of him. He got the ball at speed and just ploughed straight through them and scored. No fear.

Yeah his palm on their midget fullback was good, he had a few hanging off him and showed good strength to still be able to hold him off (even though he was a midget)
