Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.:icons15f0_files/4862-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Same. Smith was a whole hearted player who carried the ball often and abve his weight. Used to be very tough to put down and whilst wasn't extremey quick, wasn't a slouch either. He is now looking tired, lazy and easy to tackle. Not sure what's happened to him but he's not the same player.

Good point ref: carrying the ball above his weight. There would be many times he'd see there was nothing on down one of the channels so he would flick to 'drive mode' and just batter the ball forward regardless of who was in front of him. And he would also fair very well in the actual contact, he seemed to bounce off alot - regain his feet and momentum and carry on. He showed guts and drive. He will need to dig deep again. |

Rumours abound Smith has signed a 2 year deal with Hull KR due to a cock up in his contract? Any news your end?

He's been replaced at Leeds by Watkins and BJB anyway. Good decision by the club to not sign his contract IMO.

Would be a loss if the rumours are true. Whilst we undoubtedly have better players than him at the moment, I'm worried about our strength in depth.

Stripping your strength in depth just pushes a level of youth closer to the first team. The likes of Chisholm I guess?
If Leeds spend the money on a couple of quality forwards it'll be worth it. |

Not really bizarre when the ageing past-his-best quota using antipodean's performances this season have far outstripped Smith's |

Do you think he has been given equal opportunity to stake that claim ?
....( or has he been pushed from pillar to post in a different position each time selected ? ) |

I think his performance in the centres or on the wing this season haven't been good enough, and have been below that of BJB, Hardaker, Watkins, Delaney, Ablett, Hall, Webb and even Senior. |

Smith should be full back. Trouble is he is not fit enough these days but at his best is better than Webb. I would keep him get him fit and give him full back position 2013.
