I say that because i'm speaking like a supporter of the club i love and i suppose Lee Smith is in a different situation with it being his 'work'. as i posted above, i just feel he is wrong to leave RL and Leeds. |

| Quote Serge A. Storms="Serge A. Storms"Surely nobody took Smith at centre seriously? this was either; an attempt to pacify the fans when Toopi wasn't replaced, try and keep Lee through creating a regular place in the team or a combination of the two.
Lee had never seriously played centre in his career why would he start now?'" In case its' escaped your attention he has played the last several games at centre so, yes, I took it seriously and it appears the coaching staff did too. |

Smith was average until the back end of last season. Had it been this time last year no one would have cared about him leaving and union clubs wouldnt even have been sniffing around.
It remains to be seen whether the good form was as a result of it being 'contract extension time' or he really can be that good consistently.

The same place his replacement will come from. The same place the eventual long term successor to Iestyn Harris came from, along with a large part of arguably the most successful Leeds side in its history. |

| Quote rpw="rpw"It's funny cos i didn't feel the same way when Ellis went to Auz. Perhaps because he'd given us better service and had already got to the top of his game... Smith had so much more to give to Leeds and RL i'm very frustrated and annoyed.'"
Can't agree with that, Smith has been fantastic and done everything asked of him, has Smith every been accused of not giving 100% on these boards, how many MOM awards did he get between the lplay offs last year and before his injury this year |

With Smith going and Ellis already departed and to a lesser extent Toopi not really replaced , That and the Eastwood non signing will this finally mean a quality centre for The Rhinos ? Jamie Lyon ?

We most spend spend spend and look to the NRL.
After all, its' what the likes of Wigan do and we've been told they're an example to follow........ |

Ironic isn't it?
No sooner do the likes of Wigan and Saints cotton on to the fact that junior development is the way to go and produce the likes of Tompkins, Prescott, Wheeler, Lomax etc than Leeds fans start braying for the chequebook to come out at every opportunity.
Shall we review some of Leeds expensive big-name imports of recent years? Ben Walker? Matt Adamson? Brett Mullins? David Barnhill?
All great examples of what can be achieved by buying big from the NRL. |
