Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier, dangerous with ball in hand

Across 80 appearances, Smith has built a profile defined by reliable, high-volume carrying — averaging over seven carries and 47 metres per match points to a full back who is regularly involved in moving the ball forward rather than sitting on the periphery. His 27 tries over that stretch underline an ability to convert involvement into scores, while single-game peaks of 15 carries and 122 metres suggest he can shift into a genuinely dominant ball-carrying role when the game demands it. His tackle numbers are modest but consistent, reflecting the positional demands of a full back asked primarily to attack.
