I personally think it`s a worry having a centre who can`t defend alongside a winger who also can`t defend.
Attack not a problem as both are good finishers. But unless Smith can somehow work a few miracles that left side is going to ship a few.
We've a few key players missing a fair bit of pre season which is a worry. McDonald, Oledsjki, Smith, Newman, Lisone... could be a tricky start to the season.

Smith out.
Can see it now from a few can't you
Yeah you can in typical Leeds fashion. On the original I think it’s relative. Lisone is here now and first game is 16 Feb with some warm ups in between. That gives him at least 5-6 solid weeks with some pre season minutes which should be fine. Smith is almost ready so gets the same and obv knows how things work. Newman is obv working his way back, I get the impression with him that you wouldn’t do a hard pre season given his fragility. McDonald obv more of a concern given he is new to the club and won’t get much if any training or game time prior to the season starting. Mik is a big miss but once he is fit he will slide back in and I think unlike other years we do have some reasonable front row cover.
For me we need to keep our big men fit and have them all available and ready to go early season. We also need to try and have a settled 9,6,7 and 1 combination training and playing in pre season games for 4-5 weeks prior to that first game.
