No one could blame him IF true. Good luck to him if it is.

Great stuff! We don't have to read Bumpy's trash anymore, and we're not wasting a wage on Lee Smith. Double bonus!

Far better option than Yeaman

I will be quite pleased if he doesn't sign, not a bad player, but would rather give game time to one of the younger players, who have far more potential.

You would have thought they would have got him signed before the season starts if it was going to happen.

I would still look to loan out some players though, for game-time and it would give is some money to play with if we have injury problems later in the week.

Signed at Leigh 2 year deal announced at 3.30pm

Signed for Leigh

Good luck to him. Good squad player but no more

Didnt need him anyway

Nail on the head Dave

Not disappointed. Save the cap space in case we need a specialist hooker during the season. Houghton's non injury record is fantastic but he's not indestructible.

Would've done job at back up but like many say, how often would he have played

At least the club aren't abusing the cap like some teams

Good luck to him.

Not disappointed, as my earlier post might have suggested. Still can't believe how big he's got compared to his Leeds days, but aside from that the only thing he'd cover that we actually need cover in is the goal kicking department – and I don't exactly remember him being particularly brilliant at that. We're in trouble if Sneyd or Houghton gets a long term injury, but Smith can't help in either case. If we think he's cover for full back, he's obstructing one of Shaul or Naughton. If we think he's cover for wing he's doing likewise with Lancaster. Centre, likewise with Logan. These boys need to be playing now, and they're all better players than Smith IMO.

Radford's penchant for a mediocre senior player over a promising youngster remains a concern for me. Yeaman making the squad for tonight another case in point.
