Good finisher who is a very tidy goal kicker.'"
Foster is no way as he as good as Smith. He can only play wing and his defence is shocking.
One of our supporters once summed up foster " He is the only player in SL who has a comb and a mirror
brought on with the kicking tee" |

To be fair Lee Smith could only really play centre, cos when he was switched to stand off or fullback it didn't work.
Would rather have a winger that is suspect in defence, than someone in the middle of the park.
We are going to be in a few tight battles this season and a quality goal kicker could be the difference.
Don't want to get stuck like the other season. |

Sykes is a good goal kicker. Time for Jimmy Keinhorst to step up and show what he can do.
Lee Smith is a half decent centre and a good goal kicker but if the price is right and we get some decent cover in return......
...The Journal understands Newcastle are in the process of trying to push through a deal for rugby league wing Lee Smith, the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats flyer who has had a previous spell in union with London Wasps.
A three-time Super League winner during his time at Leeds Rhinos and a former England international in the 13-man code, the 27-year-old can play right across the back-line and has averaged almost a try a game at international level after scoring seven times in eight tests.
Also able to kick goals, should the Falcons manage to get his proposed 18-month signing across the line Smith would be available immediately for their Premiership run-in.

He sounds a good buy when it's written down like that - got to be honest , I'm not a fan .. I think he seems to play only when he can be d tbh . Looked good at Leeds before his first stint at RU . |

He's a better centre than Keinhorst at this moment in time. We need quality as well, not just quantity. And his kicking percentage last season was better than the ageing Sykes has managed in the previous two seasons. I've no issue with him going if he is replaced by a better player. Just bringing 'cover' in and promoting a guy who could get recalled by Leeds if they have injuries is not going to help us stay up.

Well past his best when he came to us and hasn't really made much of an effort to improve. Carrying a bit too much weight and lacks his younger days pace but was an excellent goal kicker.
Suppose McShane will kick some goals when he's on but he's another guy who's carrying a hell of a lot of timber!

Won't be able to say what this means for us, it depends who we bring in.

Although a shadow of his former self, I thought he was one of our few players that performed consistently last season.
I don't get worried if a player seems to be carrying a bit of weight, there's a saying "don't be fooled by the physique" for me the main priority is there fit. Take a look at Wigan fullback matty Bowen for a prime example. |

he does have a weird stance and can move to say he's carrying some timber |

Massive loss, Lee Smith and Ali were the only players left in the squad with genuine rugby class. ( would add Collis but he is always injured and can only ever play at 50% capacity ). Honest tryers like Gerrmond are good and will keep the scores against us down to around the 60 point mark. Lee Smith was a proven match winner. Lets hope CH and MC have some real quality lined up to replace him. Londons squad no looking stronger than ours.

Lee smith is a good player and good goal kicker who at times last year looked good and at other times when defending looked awful. I think we will struggle to stay up but wait to judge until we see what impact the Aussies and anyone else who comes makes . Think the club have done well to get together the group of players they have given the tight budget. What else did you expect.

I always evaluate a player on his contribution to the team and the club in general. Lee smith hasn't let the club down in any shape or form his contribution to the team been more than reliable. I also understand he's a well liked member of the squad.
I hope all goes well for lee in union, and it's the best move for him.

Only place Lee Smith would be a match winner is in Oulton Raiders Under 9's. |
