Billy Smith will miss two significant games following an accident involving his e-bike.
The Sydney Roosters have decided to enforce new guidelines regarding e-bike and scooter usage.
On Sunday, injured Roosters centre Billy Smith was among the few players who opted to walk to and from training, as his teammates discussed the rules they now needed to adhere to.
After suffering a concussion in an e-bike incident on Thursday, Smith has been ruled out of the upcoming match against South Sydney.
The disappointment from both the club and Smith's teammates stems from the fact that his injury will keep him from participating not only in the South Sydney game but also in the highly anticipated matchup against Penrith, in accordance with NRL concussion protocols.
After the team's recent 26-18 victory over Souths, Roosters coach Trent Robinson revealed that Smith felt embarrassed about the crash and emphasized that the club would reassess how e-bikes are utilized around Allianz Stadium.
