Smith has had two trials in his new position and looks like that is where Pay will start the season with him and I guess will persist with him unless he’s forced to move him back to the wing (form)
What did you all make of his first couple of outings albeit trial games?
Personally I think eventually he can make an impact there though he wasn’t really tested in defence and I don’t remember too many opportunities where he’s had early ball and space in front of him - He may have had a try assist v Sharks (last try) I might be wrong ....
He’s got the athletic build to make a go of it (size,height,strength,speed) but as yet to be seen whether he has the vision/awareness and sleight of hand ala Hoppa
I would keep him on the wing and play Harper at Centre to start the season but also excited to see what he can offer closer to the action.
Yes, I’m firmly sitting on the fence with this one haha
