About Me

Jimmy Smith

Managing Director

Sydney, Australia

I am a Sports Broadcaster and Entrepreneur who enjoys letting a bit of water out of the dam!

I have been a sports player (NRL 1992-1999, Super League 2000) who was fortunate enough to do for a living what many do for enjoyment. Since that time I have focused on a career in sports media, most notably radio and television. During that time I have hosted scores of radio programs, and commentated some great moments on the Australian sporting calendar including Big Bash League finals, NRL Grand Finals and State of Origin.

Q: As the pre-season training schedules were being planned for the 1996/97, Petersham like all Premier Clubs did and do, contacted their players to check if they were ready for the pre-season.

It was during the call to Greeny when he informed the caller, he was transferring to St George when he was told “you’ll never play higher than 5th grade there. “

Fast forward for 17 seasons and Steve Green decided to retire after the 2012/13 first grade grand final between St George and Sutherland.

He retired with a tremendous sense of pride and satisfaction. He played 202 first grade games for St George and took 383 wickets at an average of 19.3 including 17 x 5 wicket hauls. He is also a 4-time premiership-winning player, a Life Member and achieved one of the most celebrated careers at the St George District Cricket Club.

Q: Who are the captains, coaches and leaders in cricket, sport, business or any field of life you admire and relate to most in terms of their achievements, respect and what they stand for?
If you’d like to mention why, please do.

A: Jack Gibson is the greatest "coach" that I have ever encountered. With a paucity of words he could communicate with such clarity. You always knew what was expected of you, and it eliminated any excuse making.
