Across 18 matches in three competitions, Smith's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging four tackles per game and reaching 18 in a single outing — a volume that marks him as a primary defensive contributor in the front row. His carrying numbers are characteristically minimal for a tighthead-side prop, with most appearances yielding fewer than two carries and negligible gain, suggesting his value is concentrated in set-piece and tackle-line duties rather than ball-in-hand impact.
