Aaron Smith's career doomed

[taniwharugby]

<p>only time I ever notice an article of his is when you tag me on it on FB...otherwise it is actually very easy to not actually ever stumble on one</p>

<p>Veich puts them up too. As far as I know Rattue didn't break his fiancees back so he's still one rung above him at least.....</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>I dont follow Veitch for his personality...every once in a while (more regularly than your dad writiing a decent article) he has some good info and interviews and he doesnt seem he is a cock just for clicks.</p>

Not only Smith but he also cursed Barrett as well. It must suck being the reverse Midas.

<p>I've got far more issues with Veich ( who is a cock in my opinion notwithstanding all his other well documented issues ) but I guess we all have the issue of simply not giving them the time of day.....a bit like muting certain commentators.</p>

<p>I can remember when Smith first arrived as an AB , and I was hoping he could be close to as good as Genia , thinking he was going to be the dominant HB in world rugby for some time </p>

Dublin 2013 was his coming of age as the best 9 in the world. Still arriving at warp speed to ruck after ruck in that glorious final possession, and doing things right time after time. You don't hear of 9's being said to have big engines, but this guy's is outrageous. He is miles ahead of any other 9 in the world right now. <br><br>
Hard to see that pace lasting into his 30s, but imagine his footy brain in 2019.

Don't forget the now infamous kissing of the turf after that final unbelievable sequence

<p>When he threw that pass that Retallick caught, I was wondering if it was lucky that Retallick happened to be there and then change my mind that Smiths pass was just awesome and he knew!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was incredible in that third test. Some of the passes were unbelievable but all seemingly worked.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing I noticed too was that when the AB;s pass to each other, they are bullet passes, really quick but the person receiveing is always aware that is is coming to them at a great rate of knots</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>aside from that little behind the back one from Smith...which was ruled as forward wasn't it?</p>

<p>Most of the passes are out in front of the man which makes it easier to catch, but the timing has be on song. Fantastic to watch</p>
