Not disappointed, as my earlier post might have suggested. Still can't believe how big he's got compared to his Leeds days, but aside from that the only thing he'd cover that we actually need cover in is the goal kicking department – and I don't exactly remember him being particularly brilliant at that. We're in trouble if Sneyd or Houghton gets a long term injury, but Smith can't help in either case. If we think he's cover for full back, he's obstructing one of Shaul or Naughton. If we think he's cover for wing he's doing likewise with Lancaster. Centre, likewise with Logan. These boys need to be playing now, and they're all better players than Smith IMO.
Radford's penchant for a mediocre senior player over a promising youngster remains a concern for me. Yeaman making the squad for tonight another case in point.

Come, come MB, You know we don't have any cap space. Knockersbump told us it's a FACT

Not sure how Smith can be classed as a sweetener when he is not even a FC player.
