Across 17 matches and 450 minutes, Smith's output is overwhelmingly defensive — averaging close to four tackles per game and reaching 18 in a single outing, numbers that point to a prop heavily relied upon to plug the gainline rather than carry the ball. His carrying load is modest and rarely gains ground, suggesting his primary value to the team is built around physicality in defence and set-piece grunt rather than ball-in-hand contribution.
