"It was like being tackled from behind without seeing it coming," Smith stated.
"I thought we were building something solid, like a brick wall defense, but apparently, the powers that be had other ideas."
Smith's departure from Hull FC reignited the age-old rivalry with Hull KR, with fans split over the decision to let him go.
Some praised the club for making a bold move, likening it to a last-minute try-saving tackle, while others criticized the decision, comparing it to dropping the ball with the line wide open.
Despite the setback, Smith remains resilient, ready to tackle his next challenge head-on like a seasoned front row forward.
With his experience and passion for the game, he is confident that he will bounce back stronger, like a team regrouping after a tough loss.
As he reflects on his time with Hull FC, Smith remains proud of the work he and his team put in, comparing it to a hard-fought victory that was snatched away too soon.
He may have left the club, but his legacy remains, like a try-scoring hero immortalized in Rugby League folklore.
