I don't read that as Smith is considered better than Webb at Fullback. I read it as either:

Leeds are stronger with Webb at Centre and Smith at Fullback. Slightly different. Webb could be an 8/10 fullback, and a 7/10 centre. Smith could be a 7/10 fullback, and a 5/10 centre. Which configuration is best?

OR

If its not break don't fix it. Smith is doing a great job at Fullback. Webb needs to win his place back, class player or not. The way to do that is to put Webb on the bench, or in an area where we don't have someone staking a claim, and where he could in theory play.

You have gone back a few pages again and misread the post. Read again.

I said that was one option. Or it could be that club just see Webb as a better centre than Smith.

I agree with you. Thats how I see it too.

Is the delusional world of DISA open for business again.

Was it Phil that told you that players and management had been discussing it?

Webb was one of the water carriers last night so clearly he's back running etc .

Good job he was our water carrier and not Manly's...he'd have been knackered

can't believe some people think they no more than mclenan!! Do you really think he has one all these trophies by puting random players in random positions! It is all part of his gameplan!

actually...

Lee Smith was excellent at full-back last night and has been so far this season. It will be interesting to see how he fairs at centre when Webb comes back from injury.

I'm not sure why anyone prefers Watkins and Hall to Smith. If smith is vastly inferior then they are vastly vastly vastly inferior.

Oh and if ginger ade gardner is "so great" lets see him operate as well as Smith did from right wing last season. Where some have been critical of Smiths performances on the right wing they're been less critical of others.

I don't think you can defend Smith by showing how ignorant you are about other players talents. You just prove that your opinion is cobblers.

I prefer Watkins over Smith at centre simply because Smith hasn't shown he can play there, yet.

I prefer Smith to Hall.

When everyone is fit, Smith will be back occupying his best position on the right wing.

Do you have a man crush on Lee Smith? Do you send Donald hate mail every time he scores a try that you felt should have gone to Smith? Did you kick Brent Webb in the back last October?

Smith will only be our 1st choice fullback when Webb leaves. Hopefully that won't be for long, but here's hoping Smith will stick around for that day.

Money talks

Correct.If a player is automatically selected when returning from injury, firstly the returning player could become complacent and secondly the inform player would think why the heck should I bother and who could blame him.Also Webb did not beat the first defender when returning kicks as well as in previous seasons and Smith is proving more effective at this so far.Tackling wise there is also little between them.

If that is true wouldn't every decent pro RL player be playing Union right now?

Well the wcc has come and gone so where's the smith to union announcement?????????

Nope. Only certain positions are close enough in terms of skills

But if this money really talks where's the evidence of the player drain in those positions?

And continues to do so.

Maybe they only want the 'best'. Which is why they took Wallker, Ashton, A knackered Vainikolo, A knackered up Farrell, Karl Pryce and a knackered Hape

Phew Smith's not injury prone yet, so we should be OK.

I noticed that Smith seems to have returned the kicks better from FB but I think a large part would be teams look at Webbs tendencies and focus on him a little more. His work rate remains impressive at FB and he always looks a threat. He's certainly made sure we've not been lacking at 1 in Webbs absence so I don't think we'll be rushing him back before he's ready. Once he is ready you have to play Webb at 1 though

How long after the WWC Final is the news he's leaving to Union going to be announced?

Whats a WWC fnal?

Im still waiting on this iminent statement about lee smith leaving!
