Big and aggressive. A bit penalty prone but could be an onfield leader or handy backup.
Not a bad signing at all.

Re: Curtis Scott free to play after NRL decides not to stand him down
Whether Curtis Scott is an idiot or not I will not get into.
But it was the right decision (IMO) from Greenburg, and probably a bit courageous too.
After such a build-up and tense wait, it must have felt a bit like a back down for him.

Re: Canberra Raiders close in on major signing coup with Melbourne Storm centre Curtis Scott
Im no fan of Smith but can acknowledge he has been the best hooker and one of the best all round players for years. Even if he is no longer the 'best' hooker now, he is still up there among them. No way the Storm should move him on.

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day
When a trainer interferes with the play, as it did in the game, ot should be a penalty to the disaffected team, at the spot where the interference occurred. The NRL should be happy with that as it will likely be the Raiders who will ne the first team penalsed for it.

Re: 2019 Preliminary Final V Rabbitohs: Teams and Previews
Main thing going against the Rabbitohs is they let in a lot of points last week. Gives me confidence the Raiders can score a few against them. With our defence being consistent, we should get over them.
Main worry for me is Bennets ability to get the team to lift for a big game.
