Across 40 matches Smith has proven himself a consistent presence in the tight, averaging over six tackles per outing and rarely missing an opportunity to put his body on the line. His carrying numbers reflect a prop who does the unglamorous work — short, direct contributions that keep the forward momentum honest rather than chasing metres in the open field. The ceiling shown in his best performances, where he has reached double figures in both carries and tackles in a single match, underlines the capacity to step up when the contest demands more.
