My guess is that there is a wage band for each level. Ie internationals £100k - £150k. If Lee qualified he would start at the bottom of that band. Others would be higher up the band.

Wasps have signed two outside backs in Steve Kefu and Tom Varndell today. Given they also agreed contract extensions with a number of other players earlier in the season, I'd be surprised if they were prepared to splash out on another one.

I'd agree with that. Probably involving age, experience, number of GB caps, time at Leeds etc

I guess I'm old school, if a player wants to leave then I don't want them here.
Providing Smith is prepared to give his all for the Leeds cause while still here then he should be picked.There is no point in weakening the team this season by not playing him.
