Whats your thoughts on him gents. Think he'll impress enough to get a chance in the 1st team?

I thought he was decent. Was in the mould of Ryan Hall (but nowhere near his standard)

He showed potential. No idea what three or four years playing Union has done to him. A few months playing Union appears to have ruined Lee Smith.

Strong, direct runner. Not the greatest with his handling under pressure and a bit sketchy defensively is my immediate memory.

Could be my old mind playing tricks, but didn't he have a go in the second row as well while he was at Leeds?

Yeah he did AG iirc it was a couple of runs out there.
At still only 24 i'd say you can't do any harm in looking and i'll echo G1 and AG in terms of rating his efforts for Leeds.

I'm going to try and fill TVOCs shoes. His last Leeds outing was in the 2nd row (perhaps from the bench mind) in the 2008 Easter victory over the Bulls 44-2.

Didn't he come off the bench to play 2nd row when we beat Cas with a reserve side?

Not sure post union but he was always solid if not spectacular for us. Think he did ok in first ru season but not heard anything for a few years

He was never that impressive at Newcastle, but he's probably better than his replacement there, a certain Mr Ricky Sherriffe.

He always looked to be a raw boned player to me, one who was well down the pecking order at our club, hence his release to Rugger

He was a very strong runner and also a good finisher but i don't think his all round game was worthy of a SL contract at our club

I'd also be very surprised if he is retained after his trial at HKR

IMO he will be unveiled as a coup signing at a Hunslet,Batley or Dewsbury club in the near future
