I can't say I know anything about him but at least he adds a bit of depth. Has played junior reps so he must have some talent.

The Sydney Roosters have secured the services of Chris Smith, who has joined the Club with immediate effect after being granted a release from his contract with the Penrith Panthers.
The 22 year-old has signed with the Club through to the end of 2017, and Roosters recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan believes Smith will be a valuable asset to the Club.
“I’ve admired Chris’ talents for the last four years and we’re pleased to have secured his services,” said O’Sullivan.
“A fast and athletic edge player, Chris adds great depth with his ability to play in the second row, at lock or in the centres and we look forward to watching him develop as part of our squad,” he added.
Smith is a former Australian Schoolboy representative (2012) and made his NRL debut with the Panthers in Round 26 of the 2015 season.

[JAF]

Can he kick goals???

[Half time]

Can he tackle?

[roostersrule2]

Hoping he could be the next SST.

On paper sounds like a big boy. Heavy for a guy that height and supposedly fast.

22 And being called a 'youngster'. I assumed by 'youngster' he would be NYC or younger. Be interesting to see if this guy goes anywhere with us. If we've been watching him for 4 years, then maybe?

[Headless Chook]

100kg isn't that heavy these days. Players and kids coming through are just bigger

[Mickie Lane]

Is he getting the 600k that was going to go to SBW or Hayne?

[2026]

Straight swap for Guerra?

[stephenj]

he can play ce3ntre currently our new center is out broken, our newish super star centre has forgotten how to tackle and needs a bit of pressure on him to perform? could be a good choice?

[2026]

Definitely captain material.
