I agree he'd be an improvement on either Sykes or Platt. However, there are some questions that need answering like how much would it cost us to take him from Leeds, how much would he be expecting to get paid and can we fit him under the salary cap?



I know there was the rumour that the club had told both Sykes and Platt to look for new clubs, however I don't think it would be sensible for the club to lose 2 players just to gain a 1 player who was only a slight improvement over either one, more so when you think that one of the players we'd be losing has home grown status which is something that counts in his and the club's favour.

Like i've said previously , if i say where the info comes from then there would be no future info.

This is 100% , i don't know where our 'enquiry' will take us in terms of him becoming a bull or not but we have certainly asked his availability .

I think it could be a good move all round,

Lee couldn't get in the Leeds squad when Watkins was injured let alone fit.

The deal Lee would of signed returning from union would of been greater than his current value to the team, so leeds might be happy to reduce some wages.

He gets to play on a more regular basis

And bulls get a potential england outside back.

I would take him any day of the week over either Sykes or Platt, He has a nac of scoring in big games (if i remember rightly he got the mom in both finals prior to his union stint)

I would say he is better than Platt or Sykes in the centres, does this mean one of those two has found a club?

He's at risk of slowly fading into obscurity, a bit like Stuart Fielden. Sadly.

That's probably why he is considering a move to a big club.

I predict:

Bradford > Wakefield > Featherstone/Batley > Leeds Carnegie

if we have cap space, get him on board

IMO we do need another option in the outside backs, and for the right cap space I'd much rather take a punt on Lee Smith than someone like Karl Pryce. If he got back to anywhere near his best RL form he would improve our squad options in the /wing and be a better backup option for full back than either Sykes or Platt.

If we could get him fit and something like on form I'd play him in the centre and Purtell on the wing.

Keep the cap space until someone of any worth comes along instead of filling it to the brim with overrated pap.

Can a kind Mod please move the latest Lee Smith thread into this existing one. Ta
