Almost a proper compliment for the "slow coach".

he's head and shoulders our best player from 1 -5 (until webb gets back).

He's in a rich vein of form over these last 6 games for sure.

When Webb gets back he'll be our 2nd best winger, unless he takes the rumoured cash on offer elsewhere.

I dont want to get into arguments again about Smith, and wont be sucked in.

But how can anyone sane possibly say he will be our second best winger? He is head and sholulders above any of the backs we have out there at present, and not just for these last 6 games.

And that is not a critisism of any of the backs.

Fielden built a career around it, he'll be OK.

That will depend largely which wing he is given.

Donald is completely wasted on the right, IMO.

Where does Hall fit in. I think long term he will be moved in field. He is a big unit with decent pace and a good scoring record. I wouldn't say he has the wow factor however.

Once Smith is in the reckoning for a non-fullback spot, I'd move Donald to left wing with senior again.

Isn't the plan for Smith to play at Centre?

It was and at this point probably still is. Leeds need to form some sort of threat on the right and that doesn't come from Ablett and it's asking a lot of Watkins to perform at this level week in, week out.
