I think your man crush is clouding your judgement Pete. I haven't seen a player hiding on the pitch like that for a few seasons (Brisbane game or whenever he last played).Smithers struggled in the Adelaide game but didn’t help we (perhaps needlessly) reshuffled the entire backline and brought on a cold LB to mark Irankunda who, until that point, had been in Faz’ pocket.
I still see smith offering something higher up. We all have seen what he can offer in his previous stint with us.
He’s injured at the moment - could be another couple of weeks.
The playing higher up argument is a testement to his average defensive ability as a LB. Roux used to be the same.
