It's an interesting idea, but I think quite a lot of successful hookers are also tackling machines too. Diskin and Buderus certainly are. I'm not sure it'd be that easy for an outside back to accept that as part of their game. It's a tough business putting in twenty odd tackles a game. I'm pretty sure he's been doing well to put in 1/4 of that.

| Smithy needs to be picked week in week out in 1 position to get him back to his best imo.
Webby only has a 1 yr extension and whilst Watkins AND Bjb have been prone to injuries so i wouldn't be quick to offload Smithy.
Not his greatest season granted but others could fall into that category and i think he's good enough to turn it around and come-back to his best.

Good point. Watching hookers such as Lee Jackson, Terry Newton, Robbie Mears, Matt Diskin and Danny Buderus you forget how much work they do during a game making tackles. It's more a presumption than a given.

| 0.83 metres per carry would be an extremely poor return for a hooker.

| Smith has a happy knack of scoring tries in very important games, something that cannot be coached. He's has a poor season for a number of reasons, but to talk of binning him is just crazy. He needs to get his head straight and his body in shape and there is no reason why he can't come back to being a very important player for Leeds again in the future.

| I prefer players with a professional attitude both on and off the pitch.
Shouldn't have re-signed him.
Get rid.

Without Smith Leeds could have been seriously embarrassed at Wembley last season. In retrospect probably not the greatest example....
