Tim Smith chasing NRL comeback?

 

Rugbyleaguelive | 07/05/09 | 0

 

Former Parramatta bad boy Tim Smith wants to make a return to the NRL, but his old club has already said they don’t want him.

Smith, who has put in two man-of-the-match performances in the last three weeks at UK Super League club Wigan, walked out on the Eels last year after a string of indiscretions and revealing he suffered from bipolar disorder.

His agent David Riolo has reportedly confirmed Smith’s intention to rejoin the NRL in 2010.

The new Eels board is not interested in recruiting the playmaker, but teams that could chase the 24-year-old include the Sea Eagles, Raiders, Titans, Panthers and Storm, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Smith, the NRL’s Rookie of the Year in 2005, was involved with several alcohol-related off-field incidents between 2005 and 2007 before leaving the Eels three games into the 2008 season.
