The deal fell through because he was splattered and his agent being a t#*t.
Oh and where does it state he turned us down to sign for you???

yeah we don't need him...Smith will turn into a better centre than Soliola anyway.....Smiths got age on his side as has the mighty Gibson...



In all seriousness it looks like a fantastic signing for Saints and bad news for us for next season.

It only seems that way now because the Sleeve has yet to announce the Inglis signing.

Of course mate!



Thats the reason he didnt sign! yes, of course it is!

No no, we all know it was because he was holding out for Saints to sign him a season later.

Sensible chap, continued success over flash in the pan

I'm sure GH is doing all he can to make sure Leeds are competative next year in all areas using all the money the Leeds Rhinos bring into this club.

Laugh all you want he got splattered along with his agent been a tool and leeds pulled out!!!
Of course if you know different let us in on the seceret!!

Another ill informed rant re-the union side!!

I'm sure Leeds Tykesnegie will find the collossal income from Sky/Setanta/ITV for their Guinness Premiership status will be most helpful, without pilfering from the Rhinos.

On the face of it, a quality signing for Saints, and someone I think would have been a more than useful signing for us.

Without knowing the in's and out's of our dealings with the player and his agent, it does appear to be "one that got away".

oh yes that'll be it...

Agreed

If that is the case it's just not bloody good enough.... sorry i need to stop over reacting... i can't help it cos i'm frustrated by how things have gone this season so far...

I am quite baffled though by the going's on at headingley this season...

all this the sleeve and beleive bull sh*t winds me up..

Either

A) BM belives the squad is strong this season
B) BM has pointed out to GH the Squad isnt strong and something is needed
C) GH has chose to ignor BM
D) They both think the squad is strong

I'm going with C and i really hope it's not A

If Leeds dont win SL this season then questions have to be asked about recruitment.

None of that relate's to the union side getting promoted!!!
Oh and E. They both recognise what's needed and work is ongoing behind the scene's!!

god your boring and living in the past i see

arnt you that gay german trance dj?

Why?

Isn't he a left centre anyway?

I think we need to look at why we have Gibson (average) Ablett (average) Lee Smith (not a centre) rotating between 1 position.

why not get rid of 2 or 3 and sign 1 good centre?

Smith isnt likely to be here next year it maybe that he's just a stop gap until then but if higer management cant see it's a problem then i dont know

They have had 3 months to get something sorted, what does GH do in Australia every year to supposedly look at recruitment missions?

pretty slow work

He is indeed, a replacement (if a little late) for Talau
