Mozart - why is George Smith a penalty headache?

In the game last week Smith gave away 3  penalties against the Sharks.   Today against the Force he gave away 2.
There could be a number opf reasons for giving away penalties:-
*    Does he realize he is not competitive anymor - so he will use all means - legal or not i  to prove otherwise.
*    Is he too slow at breakdowns and as a result transgressing when the ruck was already formed?

 30 metres in 9 carries seems to destroy your argument.....he also made the most tackles for the Reds while missing none. Next?

 Smith still has a bit of class about him ,the wallabies could do worse !

Can you read?   This is about his tendency to give away penalties - nothing else.   Escape artistry won't help.
