| Lee smith is a good player and good goal kicker who at times last year looked good and at other times when defending looked awful. I think we will struggle to stay up but wait to judge until we see what impact the Aussies and anyone else who comes makes . Think the club have done well to get together the group of players they have given the tight budget. What else did you expect.

Seriously ... Talk to someone... This sounds bigger than rugby.

| I always evaluate a player on his contribution to the team and the club in general. Lee smith hasn't let the club down in any shape or form his contribution to the team been more than reliable. I also understand he's a well liked member of the squad.
I hope all goes well for lee in union, and it's the best move for him.

Only place Lee Smith would be a match winner is in Oulton Raiders Under 9's.

| Lee Smith did ok at Wakefield but as said previously he's not the player he was 5/6 years ago and doesn't have the pace he once had.
He's moving to a struggling rugby union team on an 18 month contract so for him career wise it can only be for financial reasons that he is going back to Union which he did not take to when last playing it for Wasps. They think he can play across the back line?
Also as others have said he's going but who is coming in? If it's someone like Will Sharp then that's a reasonable replacement. If it's to make space on the salary cap for Siejka then we will struggle with strength in depth for our outside backs. If 3/4 are coming in after he goes then that must suggest another inflated contract like that of Mellars that had been given to Lee Smith?

| Quote Wildcat26="Wildcat26"Although a shadow of his former self, I thought he was one of our few players that performed consistently last season.
I don't get worried if a player seems to be carrying a bit of weight, there's a saying [i[u"don't be fooled by the physique[/u[/i" for me the main priority is there fit. Take a look at Wigan fullback matty Bowen for a prime example.'"
Well Jarrad Hickey certainly fooled us.  Often true though, there's been plenty of 'little' men who could tackle like the clap of doom and plenty of 'big' men who could shift a bit.

I respect everyone's right to have an opinion, but yours is just wrong you miserable bugger.
Take no heed of him, he's always like this. This is a bloke who showed so much support during the Judgement Day game that he was in the bath during it, with no radio! It's just not normal.
Otherwise he's not a bad lad!

Lee Smith has lived off the back of that man of the match performance for far too long now. He hasnt shown anywhere near that performance while at Wakefield, so him leaving doesnt bother me tbh.

| Lee Smith has been a great player in his time, he's done well for Wakefield without ever being near the player he once was whilest at Leeds. In a semi-decent Wakefield team he was occasionally capable of coming up with a pkay that changed the course of a match.
In the team we'll put out this year and in the basement battles we'll find ourselves in we need players who will scrap, fight, go where it hurts and put their body on the line game in and game out, that's not Lee Smith!
Good luck Lee, thanks fr your contribution during your time as a Trinity player.
