For all those that replied; yes I agree Clem Smith is inexperienced but tagging is also a way of bringing him to the ball (following the better players).
Points taken about Cotchin and Martin wouldn't be a good match up with his ability to play forward, I just thought with a maturing body, better tank and his ability to apply physical pressure this could take some heat out of the Tigers running game. Remember they've lost Conca now from Thursday's mix.
Brynne for instance would be a risk being elevated (they all would be if they haven't played) and they have to get the experience sometime. We need to find out quickly who can play and who can't. If Smith can be applying pressure and crunching blokes, he will cause turnovers and I would have thought a tagging role might work for him.
Anyone know if he has he tagged much at the reserves level?
