i wouldnt say its impossible, especially given Webbs new extension. Hope not though.

Indeed I have. Whether its true or not i dont know, but will find out shortly I presume. Hense why he has been on the rumours out to HKR for a while.

He's been replaced at Leeds by Watkins and BJB anyway. Good decision by the club to not sign his contract IMO.

Would be a loss if the rumours are true. Whilst we undoubtedly have better players than him at the moment, I'm worried about our strength in depth.

Stripping your strength in depth just pushes a level of youth closer to the first team. The likes of Chisholm I guess?



If Leeds spend the money on a couple of quality forwards it'll be worth it.

Dont tell Nantwich, he'll be on his way to the sperm bank with Stevo!

Again you're too late





To be fair I would not like to see the departure of Smith...but can't blame him if he does go.



For an eternity I have advocated young British talent first and foremost (Amor and Ambler versus Kirke and Moore - no contest IMO).....Webb should have been released.



Even if Smith was unable to claim the FB position as his own (his undoubted best position) the club still has BJB ...AND Hardaker.





Bizarre to give priority to an ageing past-his-best quota using antipodean.

Not really bizarre when the ageing past-his-best quota using antipodean's performances this season have far outstripped Smith's

Do you think he has been given equal opportunity to stake that claim ?



....( or has he been pushed from pillar to post in a different position each time selected ? )

I think his performance in the centres or on the wing this season haven't been good enough, and have been below that of BJB, Hardaker, Watkins, Delaney, Ablett, Hall, Webb and even Senior.

Smith should be full back. Trouble is he is not fit enough these days but at his best is better than Webb. I would keep him get him fit and give him full back position 2013.

Good politician's answer.



With regards to FULL BACK and your comment the re-signing of Webb is not bizarre .. Do you think Smith has been given equal opportunity to stake his claim to his - by far - best position ? Considering the additional FB cover at the club I repeat it is bizarre that an ageing past-his-best quota using antipodean was re-signed.



I wonder how much better Webb would have performed pushed from pillar to post in the threequarters with Smith left at FB ?



As for the threequarters I have repeatedly stated my opinion the club's first choice line up should comprise Hardaker, BJB, Watkins and Hall in some combination.
