I thought it may have been more recent, but the last time Smith came off the bench was against Brisbane way back in 2012. The player? Ryan Hinchcliffe and the Storm were unphased running out 34-10 victors. This wasn't a once off either, this had been a selection Bellamy had toyed with on and off since 2009, usually around Origin time to give Smith a break from the early onslaught. However, the overall list is still miniscule. Outside of Berrigan and Hinchcliffe, the only other player to hold that distinction was Danny Williams during Smith's rookie season (2003). Worth mentioning, the game Berrigan started over Smith also happened to be the only game Australia lost. Other bizarre selections included Jamie Lyon being selected based on Super League form over Justin Hodges & Ben Hornby being preferred over Johnathan Thurston. [/QUOTE]
