We signed langi as a second/loose/stand off centre we could have played Croft or even Shaw.

Sorry can’t agree about Lino, he’s had ok games but over his time at club - win ratio - when he’s not played we have won a much higher percentage of the games. I genuinely can’t see what he brings to the team

Langi was an option I guess so I assume you mean playing him at loose rather than half back. But as people are moaning about changing a winning team, I'm not sure why that is better.
Especially as we'd have been left with Kay and Langi in the halfbacks after 15 minutes. Not thinking that would be better.

I'm not a massive Lino fan right now. But the loss yesterday wasn't solely his fault in my opinion.

He is Championship standard. Not consistent enough to qualify for a higher level.

Should go well next season then lol ,Most of the full squad is not good enough for higher level , .Blame coaches ,players ,fans,anything, But at the end of the day ,like it or leave it it's were we are. Nothing we can do about it ,

Why is he even that? I see nothing that he brings to the game..

Championship halfback for a championship coach.

Stop talking sense!

Sorry somebody had to lol and also to put into prospective our many of our side would actually get in Huddersfield side //

Whilst a valid point apart from cas how many of our players would get in any team s starting line up

I’ve some sympathy with that, maybe we can’t attract the very best young talent but we can certainly look to the graduates of senior Academy’s of other clubs and offer a proper salary to bring players here. If we coupled that with just one maybe two quality overseas players on high salaries instead of spreading the money too thin by trying to sign six or seven has beens, we might have more success

I guess part of that is convincing the 'quality' to come to us in the first place? And what then if they flop? all eggs in one/two baskets!

I think Leigh in the championship who were able to attract quality like Asiata and co have shown money and vision can attract quality players.

Hopefully our new owner will bring both money and vision to Belle Vue



Getting Kear in now as D.O.R. would be a step in the right direction IMO

Or previous two, even

Really.

Granted, we have had some poor overseas players, and especially in the past few seasons, weve had some good ones too. Just in the super league era, to name a few, we've had the following

Poching
Tadulala
Domic
Solomona
Jefferies
Collis
Aiton
Poore
Fifita
Arona
Tupou
Add in JD to that, though he came in a slightly different route

If were looking at UK players, we've had some poor ones of those too, only have to look at Gaskell, Lineham, Kirke, again just to name a few.

For me, its not about forgetting a certain part of the world, its about having someone who can identify the right players, at the right time from here, and the rest of the world.

Sadly, our outgoing CEO does have a reputation for throwing his toys out of his pram, when something doesnt suit him, and now certain people wont entertain him,which has had a detrimental effect on the squad.
