just been on radio aire, said 'no dis-respect but i dont want to play with the 20s so i'll get first team time with Wakefield [uor whoever' [/uWow, thats nice!

Yes , I too interpreted Smith meaning that he was not too concerned about the position he played in as long as he was playing.

Smiths been there and done it,this weekend isnt a game to blood youngsters, weve tryed that as a club in the past in situations only for those players thrown in to only vanish soon afterwards. matty wray, mark barlow david white 3 examples from the patched up side that played the bulls all thoses years ago.

Danny Cowling is still injured from the broken finger he suffered a few weeks ago, so wouldnt be elligable for slection yet. Lucas Walshaw is clearly being moulded into a second rower, and given his size who can argue, so again i think he wouldnt be a good choice for centre currently. Aside from them two, who else of our youngsters could play centre? possibly Liam Kay but against the likes of Carmont?! it would be a bit unfair... aside from the fact he is a 6 or 1, not a centre.

seems a good signing given current circumstances

Lee Smith is exactly the type of player we need and RA is to be congratulated on acquiring his services. He's young and done everything- just needs to kick on from here!
