He has slipped in the past but his performance on field has always been solid.
The last 2 games I've seen from him have been very average. His on field play isn't what it used to be. It seems they are a bit lost without Cronk, croft is not a first grade player.
He isn't kicking goals anymore, which is at least 6 points off his average, he isn't kicking from half at all or even running the ball. He is either getting old or carrying an injury.
But he looks like a 30 point hooker right now.
Same story for JT, looks like age/injury is getting too him. He is gone for DCE this week.
Lets not get carried away. The main reason Smith looks like a 30 point hooker is because he was just in a game with almost 60 errors+penalties, and he got sinbinned
There is a 0% chance that that becomes the norm. Maybe it happens 1 more week to set an example, or the Storm struggle to adjust to the new interpretations.
The real concern is whatever injury has made him give up kicking (both goal kickers and general play). Storm are never forthcoming with injury updates, so will have to make a guess about how serious it is and how long it will effect him for.
