www.loverugbyleague.com/news_9691-wakef ... anent.html says here he signed until end of 2013. We have been linked with him before but unless we are due a whirlwind set of changes maybe platt/purtill moves I cant see us affording Smith as he wont be cheap - he did play well and unless he has upset somone? Think a short term loan for somone like sam powell at wigan or gareth o'brien at wire might be most likely option ... or we could start up the lee gaskell rumours again for amusement... saints may be likely to allow a short term loan as oppose to long term..

Has anyone heard the rumour that Lee Smith has signed for Bradford? He was on a 1 year deal with Wakefield.

No truth in it, he's staying at Wakey.

Wonder if something will be announced at the forum on Friday then.

Was someone on facebook on one of the pages for bulls, not anyone I know.
Just curious as timing would fit in with him talking to likes of cas, wakey, and Salford.first as his official announcement was a few weeks ago. Unless we have agreed terms?

Let's hope it's true - he would be an excellent capture, doubly so at this late stage of recruitment when you wouldn't have expected players of his stature to be still available.

This too is something I heard a few weeks ago just before it was announced that he was parting company with Hudds . May well be some truth in this.
My source was a friend who now works at the Bulls .

Hoping its true
