He’s contracted to 2024 so I’m not sure he would be very available mate. Good young player though

Will Smith is one I was hoping wouldn’t eventuate but the alternative (and younger) utility option the club was considering is contracted elsewhere for 2022 so would need a release, despite not playing much first grade
Liddle, Will Smith, Booth, Erin
Clark and Simpkins are not going to get the job done at 9. I hope we can find someone better than that. We should have some cap space but obviously there's not much available at this point.
Other than the scoot from dummy half and lucky try here and there, I really don't rate Liddle. His defence sucks and he gets gassed very easily. He is no better than Rein.
Will Smith is a Titan. Hmmmm.

The Gold Coast Titans have added experience and versatility to their 2022 squad, with Will Smith to join the Club for pre-season.
The former Parramatta and Penrith player will join the Titans on a two-year deal.
Smith has 75 career games to his name and played 17 times for the Eels in 2021.
Titans Coach Justin Holbrook says Smith will be a valuable addition to his squad.
“Will is an exciting player that has shown what he can do at NRL level,” Holbrook said.
“He has the talent to cover a number of spots and has shown through his career that he can slot in almost anywhere on-field.
“Will was a big part of the Eels push into finals this year and we’re excited that he will being his skills and experience into our squad for 2022.”
A tackle efficiency of over 92% in a team that copped some floggings is not the stat of a defender who sucks.
I personally don't mind the Will Smith signing, cheap acquisition, can cover 9,6,7 for injury or bench, does compete on every play, not going to set the world on fire but low risk without breaking the bank
Pretty much one of the only players available that can cover6 7 9. Had his best season by far last year. Also Parramatta fans are upset so that's a good sign.
I thought Garth Brennan was coach again after signing a former panther
