I thought Patten was very good against Hudds when he came on, he gave us a different type of play from the half with a scoot and pass instead of just a good scoot from Clarke.

That was the dilemma with the Dwyer/Smith situation - Smith can distribute the ball, whereas Dwyer can make the yards and score. That’s why I pondered Smith at HB... we seem to rely on picking runners rather than taking the line on and Smith may well suit that role. Since he used to play HB in the Leeds academy you’d hope he’d have a decent kicking game too.

He did fill in surprisingly well there last week. Good defence and some really quick distribution. As you say, he probably has a better chance of getting a game there than at half back presently and may be a good fit for interchange hooker in the future. Gives us another kicker on the pitch too.

Yes I'd go with Patton, Smith hasn't kicked on so much since the promose he showed in the back end of 2016. He was probably even better then.

There wasn't a lot between Leeds & the Wire last time we met. The game is there for the taking.

Yes....but we had next to zero in attack other than 5 drives and a kick.
