Has the rise of Laird impacted Smiths defensive role?

Think that's why they have been cautious with him. I see Matt Maguire has retired because of headknocks and concussion, its a touchy subject at the moment. There is definitely risk in putting Smith in your team im just trying to justify why I put him in mine  :)

He was a tadd unlucky the two times he was concussed.

In terms of talent and ability there is no question. His scores have been trending upwards the last couple of weeks and his price is ridiculously cheap. I think I would rather give it a bit more time considering there were multiple concussions. Also add in the fact of Matty Jaensch and Hendo out could see his scoring restricted.

Brought him in in AF last week along with Sloane and was happy with both their outputs, much less risky there. My defence is also stronger in DT with Lumumba being my weak link at D6, so won't be bringing him in here. I think he's a chance to average 80+ for the rest of the year, which given the stock of defenders would put him close to top 10, and being cheap I don't think getting him is  a bad trade.
