nothing official yet from both wire or hull tho

Fantastic signing for you. What are Hull playing at though? That fee is a joke for a player of Lineham's potential who had two full years left on his current contract. Warrington have thoroughly had them on this one.

Looks like Joel Monaghan is off to Catalan Dragons. So we should get some of the money back from that sale.

He wants to leave, so not a lot we can do, except take the large transfer fee, look to replace him and wish him luck.

He is a good (Not fantastic) winger, really good in the air, great finisher and quick when he gets going, downside he is injury prone, very prone to defensive lapses and is not the type of winger to score a try out of nothing.

I suppose he is a bit like Joel M.

I would have rather kept him, but that's sport and we have two very good young wingers waiting for the chance.

Great signing if true.... happy with this.

Hold my hands up I was wrong. You got a good player there

Good signing, seems like a fair fee for someone with 2 years left on contract too.

Assuming he can stay clear from injury he fits that '20 try a season bracket' which we need, whether he is there to replace Monas or not.

Where is the large transfer fee though? £125k? Micky Higham, with three months on this contract was worth £50k. Lineham with 10 years ahead of him and 2 years left on his contract should be worth more than £125k. Obviously there is a ceiling, but Hull should have been starting at £300k and asking for players if they want to reduce the outlay. If Warrington then pulled out fine, Salford would have paid it.

After his recent stroke, Jimmy Greaves' family said he was "doing well" and "improving"

On hearing this, Koukash put in an offer.

Hope he's not lazy. ......ill be on him like a flash.

Not really comparible. Highams fee was so high as we were being compensated for his immdeiate departure and the disruption that would have on our season. In Linehams case the compensation is just for the remaining years of his contract. It seems a fair price to me?

We paid £175k for Clark I think, so £125k for Lineham seems in the ball park for a young & promising, but established SL player. Hull paid £100k for Sneyd who probably was't quite as established, but as he was a half and Hull were a bit desperate, probably got a bit of a premium.

The fee is very fair.

I think Hull paid £100k for Westerman, Who was tipped a future international captain.

Wire paid £185k for Daz Clark, The hottest prospect in the game over here last season.

Salford paid £112'500 for Rangi Chase, with 3 years left on his deal a man of steel.

As said Hull paid £100k for Sneyd which was far too much at that stage of his career

It's a deal that will work for both parties, and the patience shown by Wire to recruit the right player rather than just spending for the sake of it will pay off long term.

I think the fee is fair enough for a good SL player, with a risk of injuries.

As ive said, in an ideal world I would have kept him, but I think the deal is good for both teams.

Was certainly a risk, but one that is now starting to pay off, best halfbacks we have had at the club in years.

Great signing for you guys and i wish Tom all the best, hopefully he can develop into the international winger i know he can be.

We have Lancaster and Naughton pushing to replace him so I'm not too concerned to lose him. However what those two cant make up for is the sheer size of the guy, he is like another forward. Thankfully we have Talanoa on the other wing who is a big strong guy himself.

If we take the money and invest it in a marquee centre then it could be good business all round.

Who will be Warringtons first choice wingers next season then?

Ormsby and Lineham?

Evans and Lineham

140k not a bad deal really like tom as a player just needs to sort a bit out on his defence

Evans and Lineham.

This all but confirms Monas is off at the end of the year.

The official Wire Twitter just confirmed a 4 year deal.

Happy days..top, top signing....young british talent.

Good signing as Builth wells points out the possibility of Joel (sad to see him go if true) following brother Mike with the possibility of a fee less his contract, fifty grand for Mickey who was probably leaving at the end of the season anyway it's a good deal all round for a player with great talent.
