I get Sandon being higher, I understand people are heavily influenced by emotion and that if you criticise one player it means to same that you are crapping on them, but people are acting like Sandon has done nothing, and with Crossland being a junior Sandon doesn’t stand a chance in winning any battle against him by fans.
Yes he is bad in defence and makes a error here and there but let’s not act like he is crap, without him we certainly wouldn’t be where we are.
I would put Smith above Crossland right now as a new guy to the team, expected to be a utility than is needed immediately without the stars and hits the ground running keeping us going he has 8 try assists that’s great return from a guy that was expected to be a bench utility, he has done exactly what his job is meant for by definition
Watching against the Titans I loved his cool head, toke the line on a few times including the one that got Sharpe his try, knew when to roll it in the goal to keep pressure on.
Sometimes I wonder how quick people are to forget without Smith bloody Gamble would be the guy to come in during those moments and I wonder if he would have the same impact and I wonder how many would be crying out for Smith…
I love Crossland and hope he never leaves but personally I would have Smith ahead of Crossland but it’s weird to even be having this discussion since they have different roles, Crossland is a much better hooker, Lock while Smith is a miles better 7,6
