Try before you buy, it's the future

Hope there is still room for Lee Smith, good rugby brain and always the first to a loose ball

Lose..7 aka's and loooooose still catches you out...

Fully agreed Jack, I imagine that he will be, signed a 2 year deal beginning of this season.

A loose ball is a ball floating around the in goal area for example personally think Lee is a true expert at dealing with these. A Losers ball is possibly something you know more about

Never felt ful back was Smiths best position but with all the new signings and Tonga back and looking sharp (I've seen all 2.5 games) cannot see where he slots in. Looking similar for Hock in the forwards. Getting crowded ...Batley must be worth a bet with no expectations nothing to lose and possible overconfidence from SL teams. With Leigh every team we play seem to have raised their game from the week before.

150k budget deserve's a reward in this league.£1.85m and you need to be going places..You'll see the difference,we did last season.

Yeah back up to an origin centre playing at the best club side in the NRL, he must be terrrible..

And at 28, Brown has already played in a NRL Grand Final. It must have been a prize on the back of a corn flakes packet.

I am not sure that I would describe his performance as sharp - he was the least impressive of the backs IMO

You could certainly see what Tonga had to offer on Sunday, but clearly short of game time.

Another game against a Champ team (no disrespect) will do him no harm

He's played 3 nrl games in two seasons two of them off the bench......that's how good he is and why he has signed for Leigh!

More than Jarryd Hayne then.

...and indeed, unfortunately, more than The Plane is destined to play whilst sporting the cherry and white hoops. Regarding Brown, the YouTube collage I've seen struck me as positive: a couple of excitingly evasive carry outs from full back ( though the chasers looked a little raggle-taggle) and a dead halt tackle on a opposition FB, from what appeared to be right wing or centre, to thwart any hopes of said foe emulating his (Brown's) previous antics. Let's wait and see. If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, he needs to prove to be a pudding before the enthused amongst us, seemingly including DB, eat umble pie (or pudding... Need to work on this sentence).
