Smit contributes consistently across both phases of the game, averaging over four carries and 22 metres per match in the URC while shouldering a steady defensive workload at centre. His best individual performance — 11 carries, 47 metres, and all nine of his recorded tackles coming in a single game — points to a player capable of significantly lifting his output when called upon. That balance of ball-carrying intent and tackling reliability reflects a centre comfortable doing the unglamorous work in the midfield.
