Smith was shocking against Wakefield.
He appears to have had a better game at Hull but I would still be concerned about him, not so much for his tackling but his apparent lack of fitness, particularly in the second half in the Wakey game.
We are simply carrying too many players at the moment who aren't up to the physical demands of SL. Whether that's players who are physically too weak like Mathers and Phelps or too unfit like Smith, Riddell and (to a lesser extent) Feka.
Until someone gets a grip on the backroom side of the club and the whole culture changes, replacing BN, the captain, individual players will just be tinkering around the edges really.
