Quote: G1 "I thought it was ending this year. Wasn't there some press talk about us seriously considering a bid from Wigan?'"
i remember something along those lines, around the time he was dropped wigan made a bid, we considered it, he came back, had a storming end so we offered him a new deal
EDIT:seems he wasnt, but we didnt want to lose him
Gary Hetherington, the Leeds chief executive, said: “Lee was frustrated at losing his place and there was interest from Wigan but nothing materialised. Since then he has knuckled down and his form since the Challenge Cup semi-final defeat by St Helens has been terrific. It’s been a fairytale finish to the season and he won’t be going anywhere.”

It's quite possible I missed the new deal part but a link to said deal would end the confusion. As he was already contracted for 2009 a new deal wasn't altogether necessary at that point.
I do recall Hetherington talking about a window of opportunity (Smith to Wigan) closing in mid 2008. |

I think this is a lot of stuff and nonsense.
Walter! Have you been in that drinks cabinet again?
It's the whisky: he has a drink and this evil little smirk appears on his face. He can't control himself then; he just has to get to his keyboard and launch into some amusing little tale just to see who bites. I think I can hear him cackling manically as I type!

Rule 1. I am always right.
Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg |

As he is now a full England International he'll be a lot more expensive to retain under Leeds' own famed contract structure.

He Wast Quoted As 7/4 To Be The Next Player To Join Rugby Union From Rugby League So I Wouldn't Be Suprised...
London Wasps Is A Fantastic Chance For Him So If He Does Go Then I Wish Him All The Best, I Think He Could Do A Very Good Job In Rugby Union... |

by what definition(s) is that a true and correct statement..????? 
I smell the imput of a players agent looking to boost his clients "potential" should a renegotiation of a contract be in the offing.  |

well please feel free to discuss how it won't be a step up for him! the opportunity to play a nationally recognised sport with a recognised international programme. Thats without the potential for him to double or treble his wages!

I'm not disputing the statement. It just came across that you were hoping for a reaction  |

nah, i wish him all the best! at it happens i'd hazzard a guess that last weekend's 6 nations matches had a total attendance greater than the total of GB's games for the last 6 years.
I have started enjoying Union and I'm not blinkered enough, unlike some on here, to state that League is everything and Union is evil!
If Union can tempt Lee, it might not be the best for him playing wise (i don't see where he would fit in personally, i'm sure that a legend like Shaun Edwards will know more about it than me though), but financially for the future then he will benefit greatly. Good for him!

I was going to suggest he may fit in at 12, but then they tried that with Farrell and it didnt work. Im not sure Smith has the correct attributes for a 12?
He doesnt have the size for the pack, 9 and 10 obviously not which only really leaves wing or full back.
I cant see him as a full back as i dont think his kicking game would be upto it and Wasps are strong on the wings with Sackey / Voyce / Lewsey etc.
I dont see the logic in it from a Wasps POV? |
