Specifically could he run with a Cotchin or Delidio? Smith's defence and ability to hurt in the tackle could really disrupt the Tigers running game. Given they've lost Conca and have reduced rotations can this be a weapon in our favour?
Thoughts?
Dangerous players to put the inexperienced Smith on....Deledio will probably play forward and is a capable goal kicker these days........both would be too big for Smith to handle.
I'd rather Ed Curnow take Cotchin...
Deledio, Cotchin and Martin are very dangerous when played forward and we need to get our match ups right and not have undersized players on them...
Smith is probably better suited being out of the forward pocket where he can create some turnovers and forward pressure...
