The Roosters are ready to unleash a pumped-up and trimmed-down Brandon Smith on his old team Melbourne as they look to mount their finals charge.
“He’s worked really hard on his fitness the last couple of months so I gather he’d be wanting to play a few more minutes for us, especially at the back end of the season.”
The 21-year-old is on the verge of a comeback after a minor setback last weekend prevented him from joining Smith in Sunday’s clash with Newcastle at Wentworth Park. “He’s a really good kid, he’s really quiet. He played a couple of games there in reserve grade and then got injured straight away so he’s basically been in rehab with Brandon and a few good boys around him.“Ninety per cent of us halves get put back at some stage to the bench or reserve grade as a young kid, it just happens.
