There's a surprisingly positive piece on p.47 of today's Terrorgraph. I can't find a link online, but a couple of quotes from it:
"Smith is more supportive of his club's NSW Cup feeder team than any of the NRL coaches. His appearance on the sidelines and in the sheds at half-time is a huge motivational boost for Jets players looking to force their way into first grade."
"Smith has gone out of his way to travel as far as Newcastle to watch the Jets play, even making an appearance at the Jets pre-season trial against Wentworth in Cabramatta last month."
"For NRL players selected in NSW Cup... seeing Smith in the stands is a sign they are still in consideration... [Newtown] coach Greg Matterson said Smith regularly entered the Jets sheds at half-time to hand out advice to players. 'He's a great supporter of the Newtown club,' Matterson said."
