Player Tanner Stowers-Smith

[Five&Last]

Eligible for queensland too, not that it's probably in his sights...but said he goes for the blue bois. Good kient

He said in an interview born and raised in Christchurch and that he's lived there his whole life...

 

[tyrael]

I think he was immense last night. The leg speed and drive after contact Hopefully he keeps improving.

Have a listen to his most recent interview, he says that he is. I’m not sure of the criteria that makes him eligible. Family ties?

 

[Warriorsfan92]

He’s now jumped Demetric imo. Barnett, fish, tss, Clark. That’s a brutal middle. I like Demetric but it seems they’re shifting him to a more playing 13 role.

Only family ties for SOO is if your father played.

You're right, just watched it.

To be honest I don't think he knows the eligibility rules.

He's said in an earlier interview he's never lived anywhere other than Christchurch and his dad never played State of Origin.

Maybe his father was actually …
Cameron Smith?

Cameron Smith?

Cameron Smith was the father of many of those Warriors teams over the years...

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Maybe his father was actually …
Cameron Smith?

Was his mother Yvonne Sampson?

Yeah look I’m not sure what makes him eligible, if he even is eligible, just going off what he said. I’m not going to defend myself here as I don’t know the eligibility rules and I’m taking his word as gospel. I just posted it as I found it interesting

Wasn't a dig at you just stating the rules the NRL have.

 

[CWC]

TSS identifies as a Queenslandah, ball’s in your court NRL

 

[sup42]

Maybe Tanner qualifies for QLD under the 'any kient will do coz there are not enough decent players in Australia' rule?

 

[Shauns_Johnson]

Reminds me of a faster Steve Price

Brilliant comparison. Epic fitness, proper workhorse, great defender and there or thereabouts on kick chases - in short nails the 1 per centers. Long way to go obv.

Key difference so far in the positive column in that little step that he has going into contact, Pricey never had that

 

[Shauns_Johnson]

Halswell, that's in Queensland

There’s a few tanners around the Queensland cattle ranches - that’ll do

But can he do a charge down? or look good on a gay magazine cover wearing a studded dog collar?

 

[Blain]

I was thinking more Sam Rapira with his quick play the ball and smaller size. Also strapped bald head. A couple seasons he was elite, but fell over pretty quick with injuries I think.

They play completely different roles in the team?

TSS is a prop Demi is a lock. A ball playing 13 is a vital role in a team, swapping them out doesn't make sense.

TSS will take Barnett's spot in the rotation next season. I'm going to assume hes been made aware of that if he keeps tracking.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

He had that great run late in the game where he just went through Penrith's front door putting on some early footwork and getting in behind their line....god i wished someone was following him up then to latch onto him cause it was a real oppertunity.

Looks like he could develop a good engine like Steve Price but physically and everything else i just get Sam Rapira vibes as well. He's a smaller body prop so he has to develop a step or a hit and spin which we are seeing....as opposed to just running it straight.
