"Would Da Silva want to start at some point? Who is to say Smith wont look at PNG who will use him 80mins everyweek? That is the concern if there is one."
"I said last year that I see Smith being able to fill that Brandon Smith-like role. He played lock in Penrith's lower grades at time. He runs 100 miles an hour and has that tenacity. When you look at our lower grades and the options at lock in the…"
