Australian rugby league footballer and administrator
This article is about Australian rugby league footballer and administrator. For the English rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s, see Gary Smith (rugby league, York born).
Smith signed with the North Sydney Bears from the 1988 NSWRL season. He played with them in the Winfield Cup until 1992. Smith's final game for Norths was the 1992 reserve grade grand final, which Norths won 28–14 over Balmain at the Sydney Football Stadium. In the post-match awards ceremony, Smith jokingly exclaimed, "Too easy!" when collecting the trophy which prompted sections of the crowd to jeer him for a perceived display of arrogance.[4][5]
