Smith is a champion of teh modern game. Unfortunately the modern game is about wrestling in the ruck.
I have to say "Don't hate the player, hate the game." If there was more policing of the shit in the ruck, players would quickly change tactics and get it out of their game.
To be honest, I don't think the ape meant to hurt Hayne, but I don't think he cared if he did.
Taking the needless niggle out of his gaem, Smith is a fantastic player. Yeah he's an inbred Queen Slander, but he's easily in the top 5 players of the last decade.
Billy Slater on the other hand... catshit arse monkey.
