I'm definitely in the 'keep Smith' camp and I genuinely think he'd be the best run-with player in the comp. He did a couple of jobs last year (one on Cripps) which was exceptional, has the workrate and temperament for it and is a danger going the other way.Tim did some nice things yesterday, unfortunately ruck work was not one of them .
He is timid and suspect his concussions have made it worse. We could do worse than swap him with the crows for O'Brien, at least he will contest in the ruck. If Marshall wants out from the Saints, would do a swap of Tim for Marshall in a heartbeat.
Right now, Smith is more of a need than a timid ruck, we lack speed and players who know how to tackle, Smith does both even if his kicking is suspect.
