Re Shawn Blore he would seem to tick all the boxes in terms of what Smith is looking for in age, attitude and talent plus seems he would also be available this season too. After having a quick look he certainly seems to have been a highly regarded junior but looks like injury has derailed his progress in terms becoming a main stay in the NRL. He's certainly young enough to come over to SL for a couple years and make a name for himself to attract attention back in the NRL.
Seems he's had two ACL injuries one after the other so not sure if he's injury prone or just unfortunate like Cator was. Though I'd imagine that is what's likely putting NRL teams off giving him a deal until he proves he's 100% by getting through games. Be a good move by his agent to get him a gig in SL to get him back in the shop window.
Would certainly go well in SL though looking at his résumé.
