Not that I think the utility has anything to do with it. But Smith ever since coming into the side as a youngster as ALWAYS got better with more games on the run. He has ALWAYS been a confidence player, where if he is dropped he takes time again to get it back. But when he has had a run in the side of a number of games on the trot that is the only time you get the proper Lee Smith.
It's surprising just how many fans can not see this, and continually put him down when dropped and back in.'"
I agree this is the case. However, the problem is that being a utility player, the very nature of the role is that you're in some weeks, and out another

I'd rate him 2nd to JJB there, but he's still awesome.
I'd also agree that he's the best centre at the club at the moment.
Let's play him at 6. He's been awesome everywhere else he's played, so we should see how far we can push our luck.

Is it your understanding that Ablett has not been tried as the starting stand-off for Leeds at 1st grade level to this point?

It was my understanding yes. I presume that you ask the question because my understanding is inaccurate.

| On this occassion it is yes.
In addition to the Salford game highlighted by ms (2009 - Round 27) there was also a game at the Stoop where he partnered Paul McShane at half-back (2010 - Round 17)
100% win record for Ablett as the starting stand-off.

So, my point about him being awesome wherever he plays stands. I just need to pick a different position?
What about hooker? Has he played there?

| Not yet.
Hooker, prop, scrum-half, wing and full-back are still required for the full starting set but there's plenty of time.

And I heard imitation was suicide. It's hard to keep up.
