| Smith hasn't played well for a long time and seems to lose confidence in the rest of his game when he misses goal kicks. For that reason I'd give the goal kicking to someone else.

Personally I might give Sam Powell a try at it. But then the anti-Wane brigade wouldn't have Sam anywhere near the first team, so don't expect an answer too soon. As Leeds are finding out just now it's difficult to replace a superb kicker with someone who is both good enough to get in the first 13 and who kicks at 80%.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Leeds seem to be having numerous issues, difficult time for them.

| I have been impressed with Powell. The issue, at the moment, is that he cannot turn a game on his own. We are doing well without much magic in the side. We do not have a set of barnstorming props to always get us a few yards and we are lacking creativity in the backs. This injury crisis means that we have top rely on steady players to grind out wins. My worry is that we ruin the careers of promising youngsters through our massive over expectations. Already on another thread some are slagging off the very young lads for not being the finished article rather than seeing the positives.

With Tomkins back we would have some good kicking options if Powell can take more responsibility it would bring more threats.'"
I agree with everything you've said. As he settles into the role of first choice hooker I think his confidence will build and improve his kicking from dummy half.
