In the race with hull kr for signature

Seems a little unlikely as I'd have thought he'd be wanting a guaranteed starting spot and given the players we've got in the back line for next year that may not be likely.

But, if the rumours of Platt and Sykes being told they can find other clubs, something else that I think is a little far fetched, then we would require some additional cover in the backs and Smith wouldn't be a bad player to have

Can cover fullback also - never thought he was anything special personally but he has a winning mentality which is much needed at Odsal

a big YES PLEASE from me... if we are signing the Lee Smith that put in those sensational grand final efforts,
however if we are trying to sign the lazy over weight lump that come over from wasps I would stay well clear!

It was in last weeks League Weekly that both are free to talk to other clubs and vice versa.

Re: Lee Smith
He's not getting any game time at Leeds due to their depth in the backs and his questionable defence. But he does have an excellent attacking game as we saw back in 2008 at the World Cup and glimpses last year on his return from Wasps RU.
He also possess that rare utility quality in that he can play any number of positions in the backline with his prefered starting option being at Full Back.

Would be a good signing if Sykes and Platt are to leave leaving only Crookes and Walker (should be given an extra year IMO) as cover.

Not just the mentality but the confidence we are badly lacking.

Lee Smith is one of a select few SL players that I really can't stand. I think it's his constant moving off the mark that winds me up the most.
He's no more a centre than Platt, and no better than Raynor/Ainscough.

That's where people go wrong with Smith in that if he's at C or W then of course it'll spell trouble but at full back he's pretty competent.

Smith's an excellent FB. Shame we've just signed a mediocre one to a long term deal because Smith is the kind of player than can do some serious damage to other teams.

Let me get this right Mick, you would have Smith over Kearney?

So excellent that he's being kept out of a crap Leeds side by old man 'can't throw a pass backwards' Brent Webb.

Lee Smith confirmed on his twitter that rumours of Hull KR are tosh.

I think Kearney ate Mike's hamster somewhere a bit back?

... not to mention that he can't get a game at centre over Carl Ablett

Good news then
