If you're talking about a loan arrangement I really can't see it happening as I fail to see what LS would be getting out of it; it wouldn't progress his union career, nor would it be in his interests assuming other league clubs were offering longer term contracts.

Agree, Also why would Lee Smith give up so early? Ok If Lee had been at the wasps for 2 years and was still in the reserve side then maybe so, but after just 5 months? Nah

Upon speaking to guys at the club the inference is that Lee is coming back on a permanant basis - so one can only assume a 2-3 year contract?

You're correct, a loan agreement certainly wouldn't make sense, especially not for Wasps, so it's back for good or not at all. The delay in him coming back has most certainly been contractual stuff, which is understandable because Wasps obviously want to try and salvage something from their mistake.

If he does come back, it really will beg the question how many more will try to cross the great divide? Plenty have come back tails between legs less than a year in, having never been given/taken a chance

I'm glad that you've now accepted that you were in the wrong. Retaliating is acceptable, escalating is unneccessary and if you don't think the word you used was offensive would you be happy if someone called you a <REMOVED> ?

Trust you to bleet on about it.

I accepted I was wrong as soon as I saw the comments about it. Tbh no I wouldn't be too bothered if somebody called me a <REMOVED>! Not going to lose much sleep over it.

Handling skills, evasion, draw the defence and passing?

Try scoring?

Wasps are trying to "iron out his RL habits" and if he comes back to RL it will be full time as they don't want him back.

We have offered him £60k pa but he's on £160k at Wasps so he's in no rush to come back. I suspect if he does come back we're out of the running.

Add to that: running at gaps, scoring tries?

Do you know what time the press release will be?

Yeah I thought that too when I read that comment G. It sounded like so many wire threads! The day that never comes. don't get me wrong. I hope the feeling that some of us have Is wrong.

Well some posters were stating it was nailed on over a week ago and nothing happened.

I [ihope[/i it happens. What I was told last night indicates it probably won't but you never know and I wouldn't go around claiming anything to be certain.

With the 19 man squad just announced would Smith have been included if it was to happen? In the circumstances would Smith have been a better option than Bush? Hard to say imo.

Wash your mouth out.

Todays rag says a return to Leeds could well be on for him
