Elliott Whitehead on Morgan Smithies
""I didn't really know Morgan before we signed him, he's really settled in well," he told Wide World of Sports.
"I knew he was a good defender but in training he's showed he's got a lot of quality in attack as well so I'm looking forward to playing alongside him, hopefully he brings us that little bit of ball-playing in the middle."
The second-rower added there was more to Smithies than he expected in training.
"I'd heard good things about his defence and he works hard, does all the little things and one percenters not many people see but like I said, he's showed a lot more than what I'd heard of him," he said.
"He's a fit kid, works hard in training with his fitness and his ball-playing skills are really good ... hopefully he brings that kind of Isaah Yeo kind of role.""
