I think what everyone is failing to consider is that Smith inherited the OS quota of Tetevano, Sezer, Austin, Martin, Prior and Fusitu'a.

With the exception of Martin and possible Austin, im not sure the others would be his choice of OS quota.

Given Smith's form with Norths, there is nothing to say that a blend of young British talent combined with players that are playing NSW/QLD Cup - which is where MacDonald was - may be a smart way forward - Smith will know that market very well.

With the exception of Buderus and Leuleui (who was NSW Cup level), which big money NRL players have really been good value at Leeds in the last 10 years?


Yes that's a pretty poor set of overseas players, Martin and Prior apart though Prior was kept on far too long.

I hope he goes OK the more players we have in the NRL the better IMO.

f it IMO.
definatley disagree strongly with this. We need the star players in SL. The more quality that leaves the worse SL becomes. Then more players go and do on. Granted with the salary cap issues its a challenge.

Weve let them go for nothing because our cap situation was in a mess and needed/needs sorting out.

Just like when some NRL clubs actually pay part of the players salary to get them off the books.

The SL salary cap is so small that it’s literally pointless having a big earner sat doing nothing if they want to leave

So if another player decides they've had enough they can just leave no fee? That sounds like it will help with cap situation giving an asset away?

Clubs are basically helpless when players start causing disharmony. Honestly better just to get rid, but you could write to GH and express your concerns if feeling that incensed!

Fair point though the list's even shorter; buderus left in 2011.

I can't help but think Smith isn't that dissapointed that Leeming is gone/going. Was he a fan? No, he opted to bench him in 22 and did the same in a very short time this year. They've obviously had an honest conversation, Leeming hasn't liked what he's heard and asked to go. Now we have a wedge free on our salary cap if we choose to spend it. In addition, we have cleared out a player who wasn't quite good enough from our spine without any serious acrimony. That's a win in my book.

Fair points Arthur.
Except we are now short with two rookies in a key position.
I hope and trust that Smith has a plan....

We'll soon see. Looking forward to see Johnson get his chance.

Ok so unlikely but possible if Harry Newman wanted out then just let him go for free that's what you're saying?
