Great player. As a person though leaves alot to be desired. Says the right things in front of the camera but different story when no media is in sight.

He's going to struggle with post footy life when people aren't kissing his ass at every opportunity and the focus moves off him.

He'll be fine post a career whether it's media or coaching

No ones saying he'll struggle to find a job but people won't be interested in his every move as they are now.

Man Melbourne and QLD are in serious trouble. I predicted this years ago. I reckon Smith and Slater will retire in 2018 from rep footy. They still have handy back-ups, but nothing like Slater and Smith. Even Cronk is awesome. Imagine them without him next year.

Hope Lichaa was watching Smith. THATS how u play like a hooker. Yes a hooker can dominate a game, and yes good hookers dont just stand at dummy half and offload to a nearby runner like some kind of machine, a good dummy half will often run to the line and pass. Lichaa either runs from dummy half and doesn't pass or just stands and passes from dummy half. Rarely does both at the same time

Exactly. Smith was everywhere.

He was controlling the whole game.

Never will be. If he's a fullback, centre and five-eighth, he will never be as good as Slater, Cronk and Smith who are specialists in their current positions. Slater only played centre in 2003 because they had Robbie Ross playing fullback and wanted to ease Slater into that position as he was only 19. Cronk has always been a halfback and Smith always a hooker, but filled in from time to time in the halves when the Storm had James Aubusson coming off the bench.

Smith is the Judge Jury and executor. The heartbeat, the captain of the ship. If you swap him with NSW hooker, we win series 3 zip. The sad and great tale of this uncontrollable team is that a New South Welshman injected Qld with this Virus with no cure. Craig Bellamy.

I think he's the best player I've ever seen in Rugby League. He's the best Hooker I've ever seen, and he'd probably not be too far off being one of the best Halfbacks if he wanted.
