He will be the best half back at the club by a mile!

Maybe it will give an indication as to whether it’s actually our halfbacks that are the issue/ or part of it.

At the moment everything goes through Lino but equally I think that’s detrimental to him and the plays we put on. To say he’s had so much ball he’s not created anything resulting in a try for a number of games. I’ve never been fully convinced by Lino personally. He can sometimes delay the pass too much and give defences time to slide out. It looks good his show and go then pass but it doesn’t get the ball out wide fast at all.

Wouldn’t hurt to rest Lino and see how we fare without the player who touches the ball the most but creates very little.

Anyone who knows owt about rugby would know that linos got real ability but same folk know some ain't got heart when it needs roll up your sleeves get stuck lynes another spirit nowt there I'm afraid

Forwards made the yards on Sunday so the issue is with the attacking structure or lack of it, which means Lino is making it up on the hoof, the consequences of this are sadly clear to see.

My opinion for what it's worth.
Stand Off should have been our major signing in the close season after Miller jumped ship. It seems he was the glue that held it all together Fifita and other players spoke very highly of him as a leader.

As said above we are totally unbalanced at half back with Lino having to take all responsibility. In fact if you look at most of the tries on Sunday they ran directly at Smith who couldn't make the tackles.
Why on earth didn't the coach do something about it I do not know.

So yes right to look at SOs but is Milnes the answer I don't know.

If you click on the link it brings up a picture of Mikey Lewis https://wakefieldtrinity.com/milnes-joi ... loan-deal/ Wish he was coming instead !!

I think he’ll compliment your maverick half quite well and allow him to focus on his own game more. Rowan has the ability to lead a team around at the very least.

Something we have strived for but failed to recruit since the days of Liam Finn.

Rovers have 2 England half backs in Jordan Abdull and Mikey Lewis which has seen Rowan Milnes have a lack of game time.

For literally months at the end of 2022 neither were available and Milnes stepped in admirably. In particular the last game of the season he was instrumental in the 4-36 hammering of Hull.

He actually played against you lot a week or two back in the absence of Abdull and had a decent game.

We've taken 3 brilliant players from you in George King, James Batchelor and Corey Hall. There's also Yusuf Aydin although we haven't seen enough of him to know yet.

I hope you'll get value out of Dagger and Milnes although I don't see Rovers allowing the latter to leave on a permanent basis.

Don't think Miller jumped ship not appreciated by fans I think couple of half back as good as any in league fans here get what they deserve in luv with second raters like fajita got what you deserve in my eyes and I've watched since 50s no troll

I really don’t know whether I would put Milner straight in for Lino.

If Milnes is an organising half then he needs the ball the most out of both halves. Lino if he plays will have to play secondary to that. Plus with the amount of ball Lino has had we need a different direction.

Let’s hope Milnes will provide that.

He's there to partner Lino not replace him.

From what I've seen of Lino he has the ability to confuse the opposition but equally confuse his own team mates as they don't seem to be able to predict his next move. Similar to Rangi Chase but without the magic.

Jeez Trojan...you got me seriously worried there for a minute

Could swap him for Gaskill, what the hell we’ll chuck Lineham in for free

Good job the mercurial Harold Poynton isn't playing today with his chip overs, back passes, switches in direction et al.

Yes that's poor Trojan, posts like that are extremely dangerous. Our nutjob CEO may get another one of his bright ideas

It would appear we have tried and how we had tried fortunately and I don’t know why he doesn’t see his future with us.

What a player.
I've only seen clips but he was special.

Milnes is clearly not him but looks to bring some skill with him.
No pressure in next two games. Hope he's here for Hull.

Hopefully they’ll let him stay but he’s going back to Hull KR after the international break according to them.

Its just a rolling loan like the others as far as I know.
2 weeks and then discussed.

It would be a waste for Rovers to only send for 1 game against Wigan away.
I reckon they owe us some goodwill and I'm sure they'll enjoy us beating Hull.

Only going by what Hull KR put on their press release when announced…

[i‘Milnes joins Trinity ahead of this weekend’s Round 10 fixtures before returning to the Robins after the upcoming international break’[/i.

Fair enough. Seems a strange one if so.

Seems pretty pointless for 1 game. Could fly Cam Munster over for a game how we’re playing at the min and it wouldn’t make a difference. Hope for what ever reason that’s wrong and we have him abit longer.
