I thought Wasps were screwed financially and that's why Cipriani [iet al[/i weren't getting offered the contracts they wanted.

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 |

What position they going to play him? It will be a big loss if he goes but I can't see him being great at Union tbh. Hopefully a nice transer fee is it's true.

Well I hope for Lee's sake this is true, what a great opportunity for him to play the bigger and more successful code of Rugby. Being coached by a Rugby League and now Rugby Union legend who clearly knows his stuff as Wales will testify to!
His play over the last few months of the season was superb and he appears to be wanting to progress his career, this is a move in a positive direction for him! Well Done Lee!

I think the last contract Lee Smith signed at Leeds was this one announced rl13th June 2005rl tying him to Leeds until the end of 2009. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

I thought it was ending this year. Wasn't there some press talk about us seriously considering a bid from Wigan?

so it looks like its renegotiation time and his agent is using ra ra to as a bargaining tool |

Yes and yes. Contract ending 2009, serious Wigan approach in 2008.
The bottom line is I don't think anything new was agreed anytime during 2008. Leeds somewhat belatedly realised his worth and ended discussions with Wigan.

Hole in one right there, IMO. |

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.
