Are any of them for the top domestic and international club competitons? I don't think you can compare the Heineken Cup and the Lazenby Cup without being insane.

Lee has turned into a fantastic player and the fact that no one seems to question his attitude or commitment anymore says a lot about how he has turned his career round in the last year or so, if he goes then good luck to him but we have had a good record of keeping hold of our talented youngsters in recent years.
I know very little about RU but in the games I have seem I think the full back roll is a world away from the RL version.

That's fair enough. But that wasn't the question. The question was one of how successful Wasps had been recently, not whether you personally care how successful they are. |

Who is Smith's agent?
This is likely to be a shot across the bows in his contract negotiations.
Rumours are good fun though, they always stimulate debate on here at least.

That's why I asked - hell hath no fury like an agent scorned.
We all know the history between GH and Mr Howes.
Incidentally, I didn't know that Congreve the author of the original quote was born in Bardsey. Isn't wikipaedia excellent? |

shhhhhhh 
If one club (Wasps) can win so many trophies year on year then the level of opposition must be really crap....or is Uncle Mo in charge there now. 
Tried to watch one of those "fantastic" European Cup games once..Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn lasted about 5 minutes. |

As opposed to the wide spread of teams that win the major trophies each year in Super League? Since the turn of the century/millennium, 4 teams have won the championship final in RU, which has seen 6 different finalists.
By comparison, Super League has had 3 winners and 5 finalists.
If you don't like the game that's fair enough, you don't have to watch it or take an interest. But if you don't see any of it, or know anything about it, there's not much point in pretending to know all about it is there?
FWIW, I think RU would be a poor move for Lee Smith at this point, certainly from a playing stand point, but I would also argue that it might be risky financially. The likes of Chev Walker may have earned more for the time they were in RU, but I doubt they're now earning as much as they could have been in RL had they stayed put.

Possibly so, although Ashton seems to be making a fist of it at Northampton & he was probably at a similar stage in his career. Then again, they weren't a top div side when he signed. |

I bet wigan are glad they let Ashton go so they could sign Ritchie Mathers.
Their record of letting players go is absolutely outstanding.
Uncle Mo isn't on the board of any banks as well is he?
