Across 94 matches, Smith's tackle volume stands out as his defining contribution — averaging over six per game with a single-game peak of 19, he operates as a tireless defensive anchor in the front row. His carrying numbers are consistent rather than explosive, but his ability to reach double figures in a single outing shows he can take on a greater ball-carrying load when required. Eight tries over this dataset add a finishing dimension that rounds out his profile as a complete loosehead.
