I agree with you that there was no proof he would excell there.
Now the players have been talking about in the club with the management, that perhaps the better option would be for Webb to play centre and Smith play fullback.
IMO that suggests the club dont think Webb is actually "vastly superior" to Smith at fullback. It does however give the impression that the club see Webb highly enough and versatile to cover our problem centre spots, or just see him as a better option than Smith.'"
So the players(which you've yet to name) think smith is better at full back with webb at centre!
That doesn't equate to the "club" thinking that though does it??
Bluey has repeatedly stated smith (if he stays) will play right centre and webb is no1 FB.
I think we know who will get their way!  |

Well that concludes the argument then. Some un-named players have allegedly been discussing playing Webb at centre. I can't rebut that. Case closed. Smith is obviously the better full back.................................noooooooooooooot

I don't read that as Smith is considered better than Webb at Fullback. I read it as either:
Leeds are stronger with Webb at Centre and Smith at Fullback. Slightly different. Webb could be an 8/10 fullback, and a 7/10 centre. Smith could be a 7/10 fullback, and a 5/10 centre. Which configuration is best?
OR
If its not break don't fix it. Smith is doing a great job at Fullback. Webb needs to win his place back, class player or not. The way to do that is to put Webb on the bench, or in an area where we don't have someone staking a claim, and where he could in theory play. |

You have gone back a few pages again and misread the post. Read again.
I said that was one option. Or it could be that club just see Webb as a better centre than Smith. |

Is the delusional world of DISA open for business again.
Was it Phil that told you that players and management had been discussing it?

Webb was one of the water carriers last night so clearly he's back running etc .
Good job he was our water carrier and not Manly's...he'd have been knackered  |

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

Lee Smith was excellent at full-back last night and has been so far this season. It will be interesting to see how he fairs at centre when Webb comes back from injury.

| Quote: DISA "Like I said, I dont want to get into arguments again about Smith.
However, he is not vastly inferior to Webb at fullback. Webb is a "proven" more consistent player, because Smith is much younger, that I agree. But Webb could have done nothing in those 6 games you mention that Smith has not done, and if anything Smith probably brought more to the table in a couple of those games.
Smith is certainly not inferior to Donald. That is a matter of opinion. But what Smith lacks in finishing speed he more than makes up for in the fact that unlike Donald he does not have a pea for a heart, and Smith is far better defensively, along with been far superior under a high ball. Thats where I struggle to see how he is second best, and that is not critisizing Donalds worth to the team, because he is a very good finisher.
As for Centre, you are probably right. There is no proof that Smith is a better overall centre than we have. He needs games there to prove that.
The only thing for certain is that Smith should be, and probably is, the first name on the team sheet when listing from 1 to 5, where ever that may be.'"
I'm not sure why anyone prefers Watkins and Hall to Smith. If smith is vastly inferior then they are vastly vastly vastly inferior.
Oh and if ginger ade gardner is "so great" lets see him operate as well as Smith did from right wing last season. Where some have been critical of Smiths performances on the right wing they're been less critical of others. |

I don't think you can defend Smith by showing how ignorant you are about other players talents. You just prove that your opinion is cobblers.

I prefer Smith to Hall.
When everyone is fit, Smith will be back occupying his best position on the right wing.
Do you have a man crush on Lee Smith? Do you send Donald hate mail every time he scores a try that you felt should have gone to Smith? Did you kick Brent Webb in the back last October?

Smith will only be our 1st choice fullback when Webb leaves. Hopefully that won't be for long, but here's hoping Smith will stick around for that day.
