Where is Paul P-Unit Smith?

Just a question for you all where in gods name is Paul P-Unit Smith? The show stopper, mr tickets himself from southern has gone missing!!! Obviously a massive career move heading from Southern to rivals South. Rd 1 19:01mins 6 points Rd 2 21:29mins 4 points Rd 3 3:24mins 0 points. Wow whats going on at Pantherland with your number one recruit for 2009 season is not performing and only getting 3mins a game. The team must be happy with his progress and how he has settled in this team.

Some wouls say its best to let sleeping dogs lie. Maybe start bagging him once you have played him and won, he still has 6 weeks to prepare for you Southern.

A couple of wins and out come the Southern supporters and coach, gee what a surprise! Always were a bunch of front runners! What did those two wins cost the club, $5000? I wouldn't go getting too far ahead of yourselves considering the three games you've played have been against bottom 5 sides from 08 and two of them were the bottom two, which one of them was the game you lost...at home!

Love the fact that you have come on here to bag Paul yet your fantastic import Morris stats get worse and worse. That was money well spent. Funny if you did not have Joe on the weekend you would have been smashed. The Truth is spot on and well said.

Its a shame Paul moved on!
Don't know why, perhaps its coz the tigers are a team of guards, even on the weekend with Joe being the tallest on the court except when Bungey came on it looked like we don't have any True Forwards.
I wish Paul all the best and hope to see him home again one day

Their True forward had season ending surgery. I have no doubt with Dan Lalic running around this year the team would be looking in better shape.

All the same its a bit early to be judging the team, i certainly dont recall reading anything about the team making finals and dominating. Feel free to post direct quotes from any thread to prove me wrong.

One thing is certain, the Southern v South rivalry is alive and well, May 9 is going to be a cracker of a game!!

Just a couple..."I think the Big 3 will still be there at the end of the season, but southern will push for that finals sport."

..."Southern in and West out of the five from last year. Southern with 3 wins already, tradionally 10 wins is good enough to make the finals...sometimes 9. They still have to play centrals, eastern, woodville twice each. They really should get them...that makes 9 wins. Also still to play south again, and a depleated West this week. Should get those two that makes 11 wins!

Even if the loose one or two of these they still can get wins in games against west( 2nd time they play), two games against Sturt, and have showed they can beat the top sides so any games they drop that they shouldn't they should be able to make up by beating top sides as they already have.

A definate finals team in my opinion, just a matter of where they will finish."

Is it just me, or is there a striking similarity between Southern and the Richmond Football Club?

Both have had success in the past, both seem to have a decent year followed by very ordinary ones, and both teams have a decent roster.

And before the coach gets bagged again, when does the playing group have to stand up and take responsibility for their actions? They are the one's on the court.

Oh, and Paul is one of the guys you want on your team. Doesn't want to be the star, just happy to play and do the little things to help the team win.

whats half the stuff written got anything to do with the original topic. the point seems to be that paul has had a really really bad start. just look at the figures. its not about getting stuck into either teams, where does it mention in the original post that they are from southern. its about mr ticket man not selling any tickets to his show. i bet southern are glad that he and his bad attitude towards teamates is finally gone.

to "the Truth",

Im sure glad you could find one quote, perhaps you could let us know what thread it is in and who its by, may put things in context.

What it does say is people think they should play finals this year, not THE final, but at least a final.

Oh well, its a forum, poetic license is a given.

The truth please inform the rest of us when Luke played for Southern?

Noarlunga City and Southern are very different, please don't bring down the heritage of NCT by labelling it as Southern.

Yes thanks to Hopkins Noarlunga merged with Adelaide Southern and detroyed a once proud club. Now it has turned into nothing but a glorified Southern Suns. I see there is a large follwoing in Facebook for Noarlunga City Tigers and no mention or group for Southern Tigers. That says something doesn't it?

Is it possible to simply go back to being Noarlunga Tigers? Considering hardly any Southern Suns players came across, most of the players, supporters and committee are from Tigers, why not just change it back??? Just a small hiccup in history! I must admitt I still call them Noarlunga, but it's generally Southern Tigers fans that correct me!

Wow even Boti is getting stuck into south. Fuller and Justin leave and they fill the hole with Paul Smith and Matt Davies. Wow not even close to filling that hole. Its going to be an extremely long year for south. Hopefully T-mac, Pilks and Kosie can pull something spectacular this season so the fans get some enjoyment.

Boti is hardly getting stuck into them, he clearly states their current position and the road ahead isnt getting any easier.

I dont mind throwing my 2 cents in though.

I would love to be inside Jason's head atm, he would have taken the reigns with high expectations after last years efforts. Now that things are looking a bit bleak it will be a true test of his coaching acumen to turn the group around.

Heath Jury from Southern was in the same position and lost almost half the team, of that walk out one would say only Brad Gerlach has prospered. Will the same happen at Panther land or will they prove to be the stronger, loyal operation they claim to be?
