Lee Smith has not signed a 2 year deal yesterday. Leeds directors are not going mad due to a cock up with his contract. Colbon has played his last game for us too. Told to find a new club.

Think you'll find he found a new club weeks ago and it wasn't Rovers decision to release him, it was his decision to leave. Also contrary what many people think Rovers DID want to retain him and he may have stayed, but yet again they ballsed up.



Lee Smith should be a decent signing. As a player he's lost his way a little i'd say, but a new challenge at a new club may just be what he needs. I expect he'll get the No.1 jersey.

Good signing if true either for wing or full back.

Not a bad balls up though is it, I don't think we're really going to miss him.

I happen to like Colbon and think he's a steady player and a good finisher. He carries the ball like a 2nd rower on the exit sets and his only real flaw is the occasional brainfart under a high ball, something that many wingers struggle with when you have someone like Pat Richards (for example) breathing down your neck.



Lee Smith will be a good acquisition and I'm sure he will play full back. We need another winger now.

And you know this how?

Depends who he is replaced with.

Spot on.

Whoever it is will have to come from outside the club because we have no young wingers coming through our Academy system. As much as i like to talk our young players up, there is more chance of me becoming a Super League winger than Nick Johnson.

Who do we reckon then. Darrell Goulding? Jack Briscoe?

Do you know where Colbon has signed? Was (like most players

) linked with Widnes!

Well yes, obviously.



Colbon just isn't a winger for me, I'm actually not sure what he is. A winger to me needs either sustainable pace or explosive pace, good footwork, good hands and good positional sense in defence. I don't think Colbon's got any of these to any great degree, he tries hard, can finish from close range and used to be good (and recently has been better) on exit sets, but that's about it.

God above, is there anyone you lot [iaren't[/i in for?



Looking forward to seeing your plastic pitch, could be very interesting.
