I'm not going anywhere near Smith :ROFLMAO:
I felt the same way but Smith played himself into my side during the pre-season. Now Smith has been raised as a potential breakout candidate, but I think it will be too hard for him to gather the points he'll need. On the other hand, Smith has a new role and has definitely been in consideration by me, but I'm going a bit safer rather than expecting a spike season from him - and who knows, maybe Smith will get a game and with our current situation, you'd have to consider him if he does.

All too cryptic sorry guys. Unless I’ve missed some other discussion.

I don’t want to guess at this other Smith lock :)
I don't think you can consider Smith a lock, it's more to do with the happens of the pre-season and how he suits your structure. Smith is in contention because he's as good as anyone else around his price and more for what he can offer, whereas the COVID-19 outbreak has put Smith as a viable option at his price point, and if you're willing to take the punt then Smith is a tantalizing prospect, and if Smith plays, alternative options are limited, so you have to keep your mind open.

Yeah it probably comes down to Smith vs Smith for me, might have to post in the Player X v Player Y thread for some feedback.

I can see Smith outscoring Smith if hes named as that 2nd FWD/RUC than Smith would as solo ruck =)
