Ryan

Thats the one, he still at Leeds?

Ali has stated his desire to return home, but that could have been a ploy for a urgency on a contract renewal. Buderus is almost certain to return home with the Knights expressing a desire for him.

Scotty expressed his desire to return home hasn't he?

Yeah, last season FWIR.

t.v.o.c.

How many times did Lee Smith play centre for Leeds.
How many times did Lee Smith play wing for Leeds.
and
How many times did Lee Smith play fullback for Leeds.

Thanks in advance.

I don't get this.

I thought Smith had already left Wasps and signed for Leeds last week.

I was told it was nailed on so just assumed it had happened.

Some posters aren't as reliable as you think.

Say if Leeds sign Smith for the rest of this season. He will play wing to cover Scottys injury. Then comes a point where Scotty is fit and healthy, Senior, Delaney, Smith and Hall are all in good shape and playing well. Would be harsh to drop anyone as it was Smith who walked out on the team. May disrupt team morale.

It's Ryan mate.

Delaney to second Row?

Putting salary cap issues to one side. Where would Smith play this season if we signed him?
If we do get everyone fit and back in form later in the season where would he play.
We have seen little of a fit Delaney, but the bit i have seen he looks a better centre than Smith. That would mean him displacing either Hall,Webb or Donald.
That said i hope he returns. He has plenty of years still in front of him.

Senior to second row more like !!

[i"We will look to speak to him and see what his plans are," said Rhinos spokesman Phil Daley[/i

Plans to see what flavour yazoo he wants.

Don't recall him "walking out on the team"

Smith on the wing until Donald is back, Senior into Second Row, Smith onto the wing? Donald too leave at the end of the season, Senior to add another year, Senior back into centre, Smith on the wing?

The wrong term to use, but he did leave the team to pursue a bigger bank balance. Id be pretty cheesed off if I was Hall or Donald and Smith waltzes back in and takes my spot.

Senior to second row when we have Eastwood, JJB, Ali and Ablett - No thanks.

Smith, Donald and Hall all played in the same team last year. I know what you're getting at but Leeds would be crazy to say they don't need Lee Smith, especially given the current situation.

If everyone gets fit we already have plenty of cover at 2nd row.Would be surprised if Senior was moved to accomodate Smith. Even though he is not in the best of form i would prefer him at centre to Smith.

I went to watch Drigh on sat and everyone there said that he had re-signed for Leeds, they said that GH did the deal whilst on that recent RU meeting regarding the franchise system for the top tier ?

Yeah they would be crazy - I along with 99% of the fans would love to have Smithy back but it would be interesting to see how its going to work when we have a fully fit squad.

But just where would we fit Smith in? What a superb dilemma to have.

If nothing else I am glad to see him back in RL, it might make a few others think twice before looking at the dark side.

I can't imagine him going anywhere else other than Leeds (possibly Warrington with the T. Smith connection) but both of those have ample cover in the backs

With Webb, Donald, Senior, Delany, Hall, Bush, who was generally superb against Wigan and Watkins, Jones-Bishop back in 2011 he certainly shouldn't expect to have an easy route back (when Donald returns)

If you don't want him, I'd take him at Saints over Gardner though!

What were the contract details?
