And me.....

Why bother with the lottery, isn't the buy for a quid offer still on

You do not understand money at all do you.

Go on then i'll give you Hall.....

In all seriousness he's been great hasn't he, i'd completely forgotten about him. The point about Lineham is, Poching obviously thought Murphy was ready because he's played quite a lot since Lineham got injured, I know Kershaw was long - termish injured, and he planned to use Kay at 9 didn't he. I don't see how Lineham if fit would be doing anymore than Murph, and I would suggest he's on a lot more money? Money which could have been used for a prop??! I get Gaskell's signing to a point, because with losing Hampshire we needed someone who could play 3 or 4 of the same positions. Yeah I like Westerman, he was a good signing, I would have liked to have kept him too, but he didn't make the team into a top 4 team when he came did he?

Go on then PT educate me with your knowledge.

No, you educate us, you're the one on here endlessly telling the 'owner' to spend so you tell us how to get the cash. I await zero response as normal.

Buy the club for a quid Vasty, I might share with you then.
Infact join forces with PT and Barnsley three heads are better than one.
You could of course buy now and base your expenditure on gates of 3500 same as present team.

Well we are all joking about winning £133 million and in doing so solve all the issues we have.
Still joking but that means we could pay off all debts, buy a whole new team with the biggest props on earth and build a new stadium too.

What you suggested was buying the club for a pound.
Which leaves all the debts in place, still no money to improve the team and stadium project right where it is now.
Also, you now have a full time job doing what MC does.

Does that explain it?

Please leave Hampshire out of this really bad thing to not talk to him about a contract ,especially when you see what rubbish was brought in by the club close season .A big step backward .Westerman went well for us but it was laid on when he got fully fit he would go to Cas

Having read the words of WP after the game it is obvious he has no idea what to do to change things around.

Think I must be one of a small band who though we did ok .The turning point to me was not having any ball in first 10 minutes of second half .Bit like Salford .and against Wigan in cup .Why I do not know

I agree with you Legend. Was relatively happy at half time and was hoping for a win. The next 10 minutes without the ball seemed to really take it out of us.

Regardless we had enough field position to put us further ahead for a win as let's be honest, Huddersfield made hard work of scoring tries almost as much as we did. For all the hammering the pack is getting, we did have a fair few chances in the opposition 20 and we were clueless.

We have over two weeks before the next game so no excuses it is time to sort the problems out, work on a game plan and beat Toulouse. I regret that failure is not an option with the position and form we are in it needs to change.

Sorry don’t agree . Listen to his interview .. clearly says they need to be out on the training ground to sort the problems but given the short turnarounds in the last 2 weeks it’s v difficult . Put new faces in to try and change it around but ultimately it’s training that will help sort it . Hard work needed … suppose same has Warrington , Leeds to name but 2 teams with a lot more resources than us !

Tom Lineham should be back from injury soon.

Why not try and play him in the back row? He’s got to be about 6 ft 3 and 17 stones. He played in the pack when playing rugby union as a flanker.

He’s got the size and pace for a big bloke. It was done with Kirmond, Vince Mellars and occasionally Joe Arundel a few years ago and more recently Kay has gone into the pack from the wing.

Lineham isn’t needed on the wing with TJ and Murphy there.

You don't think we have enough second rowers?

INOUT
No that can break a tackle no….

As KK says don't you think we've enough second rowers, he was signed as a winger not a reserve second rower just a desperation measure imo, might as well move Johnstone or Lyne in there they are just as big, when he's fit he should go on the wing, that's unless Murphy won't give him a sniff.

Johnstone and Lynne as big as Lineham?

Can’t see Lineham getting a game on the wing when fit…

Think Lineham is out for 9 month

Easily. He’s one of those players who looks bigger than he is. Size wise nothing between him and those two.

Also he’d be a dreadful SR imho.

Whats the big issue with Lineham? He's injured so I don't see how people can say he's not good enough.
Murphy is a surprise but isn't that a good thing if a kid comes through a proves to be better than what we had.
We don't have to then get rid of the other.
We'll still need Lineham when he comes back.

You may well be right I'm not disagreeing with you, but Lineham is a winger and a good one when fit, I would imagine that's why we signed him, imo it smacks of desperation playing him in the second row hence my comment that we might as well play one of the other two big lads.

I think he’s a great winger but there is no doubt that with the return of Kershaw and Kay as emergency that probably makes us winger heavy.

I think there is an argument that had we known Murphy was going to move up so quickly we wouldn’t have signed Lineham.

However he’s here now and once back Kay can truly concentrate on his main role.

In many ways TH leaving would be dire but oddly it’s a position that is now covered by three other very reasonable players.

Wish we had the same options in the pack.
