Dean Collis & Peter Fox are both significantly better than Lee Smith. And based on this season dare i say it our entire backline are in better form than him (Mather except)! But he'll do a job covering injuries and as previously said Smith has potential, he showed it before moving to Union.

just been on radio aire, said 'no dis-respect but i dont want to play with the 20s so i'll get first team time with Wakefield or whoever' Wow, thats nice!

player peaked then went RU

waste of time poor signing IMHO

No lose situation FACT if he plays well then fantastic, if he doesnt he goes back in a month and we know that should leeds want rid then we dont sign somebody on a 2-3 year deal who wont/cant perform for us.

Yes could be good for us but if not its only a months loan.Not looked anything like he did before he went to union but some times a change of club can make a differance even if its only a months loan.

Pretty much how I see it, if he doesn't pull his weight and look good he'll find himself sat on the sidelines for a couple of weeks, it's in his own best interests to impress, whether it's us or any other side.

hes that good he cant get a game in a very poor Leeds side bad move by Agar we want players who want to be at Wakefield send him back and give the kids a chance

Considering Gotcha is usually so pessemistic on our board it's strange to see his arrogance in one of his favourites' qualities. Hope Smith goes well for you.

Agree, although I'm not all that keen on this signing, especially when we have youngsters in our squad desperate for a chance. If we are keeping our options open regarding Mathers or any alternative then this is a sound move.

Please don't assume all Leeds fans are as arrogant as Gotcha has been on this thread.

As for Smith, Ive spoken to him a few times as I coach his son and he comes across as a decent lad.
Sadly he hasn't performed well (barring the odd one-off) for a long time. You'd have to go back to 2008 to find his last consistent run of good form and then he was almost on his way but his performance in the Grand Final that year got him another year before he went to union.
Sadly I just can't think of any area where he excels. He's not particularly big, not particularly strong, doesn't have outstanding handling and has most certainly lost his pace.
Gotcha was also being silly claiming the only reason he's not in the Leeds team because his face doesn't fit or because the other players are regular internationals.
His face fits fine at Leeds, he isn't a disciplinary problem at all, the problem is his ability and performances have declined sharply.
If he was as good as Gotcha claims then he'd have been first choice to replace Webb when he got injured. Also Hardaker, Watkins & Jones-Bishop can't be classed as internationals yet.

Its great for Leeds, we get Smith playing at a better level than u20's. Not quite sure what he brings to Wakefield other than steady-as-you-go.

It was probably a mistake going back to Leeds where the expectations of him were so high. A few good performances at Trin could reignite his career, although his fitness levels are a worry. For backs, speed is king.

On another point, to any Leeds fans (or coaches), please ignore the posters on here suggesting Aiton and Amor are any good. They're lucky to get a game at SL level. It's only because they play for lowly Wakefield, anywhere else they'd be in the 20s. Nothing to see here.

Without a doubt, very lucky.

But the players in front of Smith play for England so it's a similar situation. Apart from Webb of course but he is only selected to argue with the ref and give away penalties.

Anyone know the date for Amor if Leeds do want him back?

We don't.

In fact he's the only Leeds fan being arrogant (and rather pathetic) on this thread.
