"Josh is a true blue legend of the game," Smith said.
"He's been the backbone of the team, leading by example and showing us what it takes to reach the top level.

Jackson, who has been with the Bulldogs since making his NRL debut in 2012, has been instrumental in guiding the young Jersey Flegg team to their second consecutive Grand Final appearance.
His commitment to the club and his unrivaled work ethic have inspired his teammates to strive for greatness.
"Having someone like Josh in the team is like having a secret weapon," Smith added.
"He's a true professional and he brings out the best in all of us.
We're determined to bring home the Jersey Flegg Cup again this year, and with Josh leading the way, I have no doubt we can do it."
The Bulldogs will face off against the Sydney Roosters in the Jersey Flegg Cup Grand Final, where they will be looking to defend their title and make history by winning back-to-back championships.
With Jackson leading the charge, the Bulldogs are confident they have what it takes to come out on top and secure the ultimate prize in junior Rugby League.
