Reading between all the lines, and at the end of the day Smith didn’t want to remain at the Dogs. Through his on field efforts, and apparent attitude problem, you could see this well before Baz turned up. He obviously signed with Storm for 2022, and like most clubs these days, we’ve decided to release him early. No use keeping players that don’t want to play for the jersey. I thought Smith had plenty of potential and could have been a very good 10yr+ winger for the Dogs, but he didn’t feel the same way and wanted out. Let’s wait and see what comes of this, we have a few spots open now and a real chance to change the shape of this squad for 2021 and also moving pawns around for 2022.
