I am putting my hope in Smith knowing a few half backs who want to come over with him. He doesn't need to be a big name, just someone who is a decent player who can't get a game in the few NRL teams that exist. The problem is the visa conditions may hamper them.
I like Gaskell but hold back from saying he is top class. Two SL teams have let him go and he is months from the end of his contract but nobody has come in to sign him for the remainder of this season. It appears Hull want him. He is a good player in the championship but he still has it to prove at a higher level. What if Smith has a stand off that he prefers? Will Smith want to sign a 35 Yr old in Leon or will he want a 25 year old to build the team around.
Smith is a total unknown and may surprise us all with some of his signings.
