So, is there any truth to him actually going to Newcastle.

I know they are interested and has been talked about but has anything been said officially.

I can't find anything.



His kicking will be as much a loss as anything.

Big loss if does go, class player and so much better than the alternatives Lyne, Briscoe and Kindhorse. Add to that Collis with his dodgy hamstrings will only play about 10 games. Starting centres of Collis and Smith looks ok, any perm of Lyne, Briscoe and Kindhorse looks terrible.

Think DC will come on and tell us he as gone, or going

Any idea who the 3 or 4 to come in are?

no mate, my mate mole might

punt at foster from the bulls

Wakey Express states that Smith is on "the brink of a return to oonion" with Newcastle Falcons.

I rate Lee Smith but at 28 he has to do what is right for his family and himself.

If he sticks around at Wake til his contract expires, is he going to get another good contract when he is 30?

He has been to Union before so knows what he has to do for what he gets paid for and it will probably extend his career longer than if he stayed in League.

Alain Tait played Union for a long while after he left League and he was no spring chicken when he went back.

and if that happens my season ticket may get punted into the Calder.

Why

Foster could be a good replacement for Smith.

Good finisher who is a very tidy goal kicker.

Twitter account amended. Lee Smith is gone.

Not a great loss. Might be replaced in team by someone who gives 100% at RL and not fake tan.

If confirmed Thank you Lee and good luck in the future.
