Phoneix missed the entire U18 season due to injury, but was playing really well last season so could be playing for a contract.

Again, interesting to see how 12 goes. I wonder how long til 15 makes his first team debut.

Matt Smith? A run out for Friday?

[RagingBull]

I've heard his is out for the season at least.

I know he was training, but was he doing contact work or just light work?

Tigers 21 -17 Sale

Tigers scrum getting pummelled but still managed to end the half ahead.

I doubt we'll see Matt Smith in a Tigers shirt again. His injury looked awful with both elbow and shoulder getting hurt. I'm waiting for his retirement announcement and we'll deserved standing ovation at Welford Road.

The young lad on the bench Smith, is a backrower with plenty of aggression and workrate.

Geez the Martin lad likes a tackle doesn't he, low hard and cuts the ball carrier down behind the gain line. Looking forward to seeing him develop into the first team, looks like he could a great physical lock.

Looked lively, didn’t really get to touch the ball that much.

The $64,000 question is - did he look 'last 4 games in the Premiership' lively?

Can't see him playing against Newcastle, 2 games in 5 days would be pretty rough

The potential of being 12th is pretty rough!

Agree though, maybe he’ll feature in the last 3 rounds.

Might depend on Eastmond. If he's not fit then the options are running thin. Move Owen to 12, keep Toomua at 15 then bring the new boy onto the bench. It's that SAR into the back three, Toomua at 12 and new boy on the bench. Unlikely to see Hardwick or Joe Ford onto the bench with Toomua and George Ford in the 23.
