Queensland Reds 2025

Smith is a much better player than Blyth and seems to be getting better.

Ospreys are taking swings at guys. Didn't they want Tom Hooper?

What a place to go play.

I think Blythe can still get better if he gets the opportunities for the same playing time that Smith gets.

I think Blythe can still get better if he gets the opportunities for the same playing time that Smith gets.

I mean, according to All Rugby, they basically have very similar minutes played over their careers... Smith obviously favoured in recent seasons, but I don't think it's fair to say Blyth hasn't been given an opportunity.

Maybe. He has been in the Reds set up since the 17/18 season and a bit of a mainstay from 18-22. 2020 and onwards for Smith. At first I wasn't high on Smith either but his game and physical development is just getting better.

I'd have Smith pretty comfortably ahead of him on the must retain list myself.
