| Quote Teddy Picker="Teddy Picker"Lets not kid ourselves.
He has been all those things in the past, but in the last 2 seasons at best he's been average. The reason he has found himself in the reserves is because he hasn't performed good enough and BJB, Hardaker, and Watkins have all overtaken him.
The ball is in his court. This is a good opportunity for him, and if he takes it and regains some form he might have a future at Leeds. If not, I think McDermott will have finally lost patience with him, he put his confidence in him at the start of the year and for a period in the middle by playing him ahead of BJB, but put simply, Smith was awfull.'"
Nice to hear from the level headed Rhino's fans. |

Why do you lot keep comparing forwards to backs. Are you really that limited in knowledge of the game?
For what it's worth once again you are using an example to try and make a point which completely contradicts your main point.
On the one hand we have Lee Smith allegedly not good enough for you, and not as good as other players you have. The argument been that he can't get in the Leeds team and Leeds have released him.
On the other hand we now have two players mentioned as better quality, Amor and now Ali, who coincidentally were deemed not good enough by Leeds and were released.
Which one is it? |

| Quote Gotcha="Gotcha"Just a minor point, before you get so defensive you curl up in a furry little ball. Where have I talked about Amor not been good enough to compete with those players?
I simply said Smith is a better quality player than you have. One of your posters brought up Amor, and I still never critisised him. I just pointed out that by his logic of Smith been released by Leeds, then did not the same happen with Amor.'"
Sorrt Mrs Smith, but you said that he was better than ALL of our current players and yet he is apparently not good enough to fill in accross any of the Rhinos back line.
I still maintain that you shoul be happy with your front row.
FWIW Smith is ok, but he is not at presnt a stand out player or, even the Mighty, Mighty, Rhinos, would not allow him out on loan.
This has been done to give the lad some first team rugby, nothing more.
We're glad to take him but, you do seem to over-rate your player and you were a little short on factual back up about Aiton.  |

If you wish to argue with your fellow Leeds fans please return back to your own board. |

Think Aiton scored in the England v PNG game and they nearly upset the odds against in this game containing several Leeds stars at the time. Score was 32-22 so PNG not as bad as you think. |

As far as Smith goes he has been woeful on all but 1 occassion since he has returned from RU. He has put on too much bulk? since RU which has made him slow. McD has given him far more opportunities to prove himslef than McShane so cannot complain. If he decides to leave 1 pie in Greggs he might make a good player.
I would do a swap happily, your Smith for ours.

| Quote Gotcha="Gotcha"Because his face doesn't fit, and he hasn't done enough to push himself in front of other players.
On your argument why on earth is Amor not playing for England? or indeed was considered not good enough for the Rhinos. [i[uQuote GotchaOr why isn't Aiton playing for his country?'" [/u[/i
By contrast, the players in front of Smith for a jersey are of course playing for their countries.'"
Er, Aiton is a PNG international. But now your lack of knowledge has been exposed you now choose to say something along the lines of, "it's only PNG". The only country in the world that has Rugby League as it's national sport. The guy can't help where he was born. He plays for and captains his country an achievement that is acknowledged in any sport. |

Dean Collis & Peter Fox are both significantly better than Lee Smith. And based on this season dare i say it our entire backline are in better form than him (Mather except)! But he'll do a job covering injuries and as previously said Smith has potential, he showed it before moving to Union.
