Across 21 matches Smith operates as a controlled distributor rather than a primary ball-carrier, averaging just over two carries per game yet consistently converting them into meaningful metres. His try return of eight across the dataset suggests a sharp eye for the line when he does commit to running, while his tackle contribution — peaking at seven in a single outing — indicates he is not shy of defensive work when the game demands it. The occasional outlier of 13 carries and 64 metres in one match points to a player capable of shifting gears and taking on a much larger physical load under the right conditions.
