Quote: RhinoNeil "Say if Leeds sign Smith for the rest of this season. He will play wing to cover Scottys injury. Then comes a point where Scotty is fit and healthy, Senior, Delaney, Smith and Hall are all in good shape and playing well. Would be harsh to drop anyone as it was Smith who walked out on the team. May disrupt team morale.'"


Smith on the wing until Donald is back, Senior into Second Row, Smith onto the wing? Donald too leave at the end of the season, Senior to add another year, Senior back into centre, Smith on the wing?

Quote: Mark_W "Don't recall him "walking out on the team"
The wrong term to use, but he did leave the team to pursue a bigger bank balance. Id be pretty cheesed off if I was Hall or Donald and Smith waltzes back in and takes my spot.

Senior to second row when we have Eastwood, JJB, Ali and Ablett - No thanks.

Smith, Donald and Hall all played in the same team last year. I know what you're getting at but Leeds would be crazy to say they don't need Lee Smith, especially given the current situation.

If everyone gets fit we already have plenty of cover at 2nd row.Would be surprised if Senior was moved to accomodate Smith. Even though he is not in the best of form i would prefer him at centre to Smith.

Quote: Blue 'n Amber "I don't get this.

I thought Smith had already left Wasps and signed for Leeds last week.

I was told it was nailed on so just assumed it had happened.'"


I went to watch Drigh on sat and everyone there said that he had re-signed for Leeds, they said that GH did the deal whilst on that recent RU meeting regarding the franchise system for the top tier ?

Yeah they would be crazy - I along with 99% of the fans would love to have Smithy back but it would be interesting to see how its going to work when we have a fully fit squad.

But just where would we fit Smith in? What a superb dilemma to have.

If nothing else I am glad to see him back in RL, it might make a few others think twice before looking at the dark side.

I can't imagine him going anywhere else other than Leeds (possibly Warrington with the T. Smith connection) but both of those have ample cover in the backs

With Webb, Donald, Senior, Delany, Hall, Bush, who was generally superb against Wigan and Watkins, Jones-Bishop back in 2011 he certainly shouldn't expect to have an easy route back (when Donald returns)

If you don't want him, I'd take him at Saints over Gardner though!

It's hard to imagine that the above would be to tell everybody that Smith has signed for Warrington.
FWIW I think it will be to announce Smith's return & Buderus' departure.
Showing us in the best possible light, rescuing Smith from the unhappy clutches of Wasps & helping out our antipodean friends in their hour of need, with compo from the Knights.
Well maybe not the last bit but at least providing leeway within the salary cap.
GH's sleeve to the rescue again!!
