While he has always had good positioning in defending kicks with the number 6 or 7 on his back, it remains to be seen if his foresight and anticipation will extend to his need in the number 1 jersey, when he's out the back, all on his lonesome. If he can nail that aspect, he has a very strong running game and a physical toughness that could make him a good fullback. If that eventuates, his excellent passing and kicking skills will make him a huge asset for the Roosters. His downside will be his ball security, he's a bit error-prone there.
Smith's experiment could easily end before we reach Round 1 of NRL 2010. But I think he'll be an asset for the Roosters nonetheless. If he wasn't such a f*cking moron, the Raiders would be a Top 4 side by now.
