Anyone else heard the rumour about him signing for Bradford? Although I find it hard to believe, the person it has come from is usually pretty reliable.

If it is true and is in order for us to make room for an extra prop then that's fine.

Can't see it. They have backs already and we went to a lot of effort to sign him.

Like a lot of our squad, we're light in cover for the wing position. I guess he'd cover a few positions and the rumours of Platt to Salford in return for Sidlow seem to be still cropping up.

Think this is up there with Amor and Wildie to Hull, Kirmond to saints, Wilkes to fev etc etc.

He has a contract with us, cannot see him going

They would need to splash the cash I'm sure. I think he'll be great for us with a whole pre season behind him

It would be absolutely stupid as we are supposed to be building not dismantling.

Lee Smith is a player who will keep improving I dont see Agar getting rid of any of our centres unless needed for a quota space (Mellars)

NOT quota, Exempt via dabble with Crusaders, only value in release is salary based

Nah that rarely happens anymore, can't say it would be a great loss tbh.

As Smith & Mathers are attending the Huddersfield Town Leeds United game with AG today I can't see there being much mileage in this rumour.

my bad thanks

Good Lee Smith seems to offer more flexibility & impact than some and has proven experience & quality. I'd prefer we lose either Mellars or John to make salary cap space for another decent prop.

Hope Lee Smith though has sharpened up & slimmed down a little with a good pre-season as he was brushed off & burned off for pace on a number of occasions by Watkins in that play off against Leeds last season.

Although in one of the Twitter pics he is holding a pint, not the best attitude in pre-season from a player who looked overweight last year, especially with your CEO and owner present

If you look at his record last season, he scored 6 tries in 9 games, which is a pretty good record considering he was a mid season signing. He still has class, and it would be a major setback if we sold him, he could have a big season next season!

He is higher up the pecking order than Mellars unless bradford have found a lot of £$£$£$£


or have they a quality prop that RA has on his shopping list???????

TBF Watkins can burn most for pace especially when given space as he was in that game.

I really dont have an issue with this the lad is training and then goes out for some entertainment hes entitled to pint if he wants one.

It could have been Shandy?

Remember how bad our defence was prior to Smith arriving. Smith had a massive impact, teams scored tries for fun down that side before he was in the team. Mistake playing him in the play off game against Leeds as he had a slight hamstring pull from the previous week. Cowling should have played.

So Sugar and Alcohol, not exactly Paleo

i have two issues with this thread....

1) going by the twitter banter between the players, smith is going nowhere. and he is enjoying been a bit bigger than cockayne.

2) if you watch the play off game, smith was not to blame for all the breaks down that side. i actually think that sykes missed more tackles.

please bring on the next thread about tim smith signing for hull.........

Good source of carbs!
