| Lee Smith's performance yesterday was one of the very worst I have seen from an experienced SL player.

Have you always been prone to massive exaggerations?

| We don't have any centres at all without Senior and with Delaney at second row. In terms of making breaks and scoring/letting in points, centre is probably the key position in RL. We probably have the weakest centre pariing in SL at the moment, and you'd have to look as far back as 1996 maybe to find a worse set of options for Leeds.
Ablett is a makeshift at best, and Smith seems to have gone backwards at a rate of knots. Until Watkins is fit we don't have anybody else with any experience at all in the position.
Given that, I'd look at which of the existing backs may have the capability to move there. I'd prefer to keep Hall on the wing unless he wants to try centre, as he hasn't really shown much in the way of the sort of attributes you'd expect to see (some kind of passing, good decision making in defence), except for his size. Of the others, both BJB and Hardaker look more natural 'footballers' as they say here in Oz, but both may be a bit lightweight.
Given the state of this season, I think a few experiments may as well be taken with the centres for the remainder of the year. As it is, I fully expect we'll see Smith/Ablett continue until Waktins is fit, and then probably Smith/Watkins. Depressing indeed.

| WTF have Wasps done to Lee Smith. I was delighted when he came back, but that try at home to Wigan in the Cup apart, he's been fairly lousy.

I'm quite happy with my assessment having watched the match again.

You have nothing better to do? I barely watched it when it was live.
How the summer days must fly by.

| If McGuire had a bit more about him physically I'd be tempted to try him at centre until someone better is found... His passing, step, acceleration and even short kicking game would be an asset there. Especially if McDermott persists in using Sinfield at stand-off.
