Not his best game today but time for the big contract players in the pack to go (if possible)........

Not referring to Fifita who went ok and took some tackling unlike some others....

Tupou 3 tries in a overall total of 24 appearances with no assists. That's a pretty poor return for a centre.

Though on the overall Performance...well done. We deserved better. Shame some untimely errors and some dubious rules cost us at least a draw

Like Chester said where has that effort been for the last 6 weeks?

Fafita not the way forward

I could understand Ray Charles coming out with that

I agree he doesn’t score enough or release his winger enough. He is strong and shakes tacklers off and makes breaks. I haven’t seen many defensive errors. Overall, I think he’s solid but that’s it. Again, I think he’s not the future but I’d take him before Lyne any day who scores one costs 4

Rewce lynne...is garbage end of both hull second half trys came off his mistakes.

Billy topou..why did we give him a new contract he offers nothing yes he got try chalked off tonight but knocked on with line at his mercy although it was a shocking pass.

Fiffita....dont get him runs sideways when he should go forward

I still think he has the potential as he shows what he can do but isn't consistent. I do believe he offers more of a positive effect than negative but with his physique and speed could be real class.

How many games has Lyne now played for Wakey? Occasionally he finds some some form or does something unexpected & we all go wow! I'm convinced the lad doesn't actually know how to play the game, so perhaps it's a coaching issue but it's a bit late in the day for that!

However, coaches keep picking him & he keeps splitting opinions on here but for me it's time to say goodbye!

Ironically the two players bagged on here were not the reason we lost tonight. Apart from his two knock-ons I though Lyne had a good game!

Sadly I've championed Lyne as having great potential but according to the commentary thats his 100th game and if true its time to admit I was wrong. One the other hand I thought Fifita went very well and with a full pre season under his belt he'll be a real handful next year.

EXACTLY my feelings.

Lyne is very soft and is not super league standard- as for fifta I don't need to say anymore than what I did when we first signed him-- giv e away another pen mate

With the Trinity conditioning staff?

Too much sun mate

Reece Lyne has everything aside from a Rugby brain IMO and thats why he he hasnt hit his 'potential'
He wasnt the reason we lost tonight though.

Must be.


You only have to look at the guys stats since he came here. With no pre-season with us behind him and started playing for a team he didn't know and one when he arrived, started getting injuries all over the place, plus started losing games, he's been better than I thought he would.
Tbh For people to slag him off, I just don't know what game they're watching. Or for that matter what kind of Prop they think we'll be able to get when we're already short in that area.

Even compared to say what many would consider our Best Prop this season Anthony England, his stats stack up really well, although he's obviously less game time than him, with 12 games for Fifita compared to 19 for England.
Before this game he averages more meters per carry than any other Forward at 7.13 (England 6.04), he's made 223 tackles (England 401) & just missed 8 (England 41). He's made a huge amount of tackle burst to say how long he's been here at 41 (England 12) , which is 4th in our team behind backs in Miller, Johnstone & Lyne. He's made 7 errors (England 14). The only real thing he has to clean up is the penalties at 9 (England 9), although not as bad as Moore with 21. I think if we can keep him, with a full pre-season under his belt, we've got a real good Prop on our books.

your forgetting the stat of pens given away and mistakes made-

tonight first play the ball for him he couldn't even do that correctly- did you see how he tried to play it?

and he wont be here next season

Where is " here "

Yes he will. You need a better 'source'.

Errors aside, both players getting slated were statistically two of our better players...both making over 100 metres and both missing no tackles..Fifita our top metre maker with 140 from 17 carries...2 errors and 1 penalty...I can live with that! Harrison gave 3 penalties away and missed 5 tackles and Mika Simon made the same amount of errors as Lyne but am struggling to see the thread started in his name?

says it all - scapegoats needed!

I disagree, yes he knocked on a couple of times but other than that he had a good game, for some reason some people have been on his back ever since he came to the club.

Since he arrived we have had 4 different head coaches and all 4 have picked him in the team and I would like to think that they know a bit more about the game than people on here.

I don't recall slating Lyne or blame him for the loss, merely stated that after 100 games he's hardly fulfilled any 'potential' he may have had at one point. Mika Simon IMO has been one of our best recent signings, running hard & straight! Wasn't he player of the year last year? Comparing Lyne & Simon is a non starter as far as comparisons go & FWIW I'd love Fafita to stay next year.
