Had a stellar 97 season . He got under sides guard that year and with Harvey and Burke running riot,the youngsters jumped on board.

Thought he'd be a 12 year player for us....died in the a**

Jones,Smith and Brown...was an exciting prospect back then..got us very close,but no cigar...rings a bell

I am convinced Sean Ralph-Smith was a gun undersized CHB, but the reality is he probably wasn't.

Was a very highly rated youngster, played some very solid games early on - but he lacked pace & that become more evident as his career unfolded & he had no penetration in his kicking which resulted in too many floaters when we were needing precision from him.

Exactly. Pace was his big issue. He never had it, and as the game opened up in the early 2000s, he was left behind.
