Hopefully you've got some insider knowledge there.

Benefit of him not signing a new contract, he'll still be on peanuts as when he signed it he will still have been very much a prospect with no thoughts of been a regular.

Taufua and Kershaw on the wings with Lineham as back up, Hall to centres. Looks a more balanced back line.

Very sad news. He was a fantastic player last season and will be missed this season. Hope he makes a full recovery.

It seems a bit harsh to talk about a player needing to be sold now he’s injured and off contract at the end of the season.

Although if he’s sold he’ll probably get a better paid contract from his new club benefitting him personally and Trinity can then re-invest into the squad.

Kershaw and Taufua should be more than capable on the wings.

It never rains...........Get well soon Lewis.

bad news for us and him! speedy recovery and hope he's back better than before

You're a real charmer aren't you?
Are you wired up properly???


He has a contract for a start which has to be maintained.

Terrible news for him personally and the squad.

I would doubt we will see him in a Trinity shirt again now, although this may cause him issues in regards his potential options for next year unless he already has something signed.

In regards the squad it is more unwanted pressure on already limited resources, the only slight comfort is it is an area where we probably have the most depth.

I guess it comes down to now a simple choice between Lineham or Hall.

For me I would like to see Hall get another crack in the centre, hopefully the "rest" will have done his motivation some good with Taufa moving back to the wing.

Gutted that we've lost the lad for the rest of the season but, being a glass half full man, maybe this will scare others off and help us retain his services going forward.

Hopefully we'll be able to retain him for 2024 when he's back to fitness. It may be that possible suitors want to see how he goes in 2024 once recovered then sign him for 2025.

Feel for him, just shows the ups and downs doesn't it, after what he did last season, let's hope it's not the last we see of him in a Trin shirt.

Gutted for Murphy, hopefully he’ll come back just as strong. TJ is an example that it can be done, he’s flying this season. He’ll be back fit by the end of the year so if thats the last we see of him here i wish him well.

Gutted for us also. He was our X factor, the one player we had with the genuine pace that scared the opposition. His contributions won us a couple if games alone last year and we are weaker without him. Survival just got tougher.

He would only be an x factor though if he actually got some service?! So far his involvement has been kick returns & picking the ball up at dummy half, I think he's received 2 passes in 3 games! I don't think anyone so far playing on the wing has had 1 running chance?

Bad news that, TJ pulled through that twice so I am sure Lewis will.

I wonder if Fev would loan us Evans back, we could do farce worse than him

We have 3 wingers in Kershaw, Taufua and Lineham. Presently we are fine and we would be better looking for a full back.

Plus Kaye, although I appreciate he can't play 1 and 9 as well left wing concurrently.

Poor Liam must be dizzy with all the different positions he's playing in....

To be fair to him he is making a good fist of all of them

Bongser thinks that he remembers reading on another Wakey thread that there was no such thing as the Rugby League Family. Not so! This from a Leyther, feel for the lad. Yes, all sport is about beating your opponents and surviving as a result. If an upcoming team has players out (rightly) suspended and that gives Leigh an edge, then whoopy-ding! However, should a player incur a season ending (and possibly career changing/ending) injury, there is no joy under this roof.

Yup, there are idiots in every fanbase, but the Family still exists. All the best, hope he's playing next season.

Correct.
Sadly, at this time anyway, it looks like he may have played his last game for us.
Our one 'star' player is lost at a time we need him most.

I’d much rather explore the possibility of a loan swap between Lino - Miller between Wakey and Cas.

You might very well like to "explore" it, but it won't happen.

getting rid of lino would be very stupid

That would be just silly. It wouldn’t be if there was a halfback coming in of equal or better ability as per my suggestion.

I’m not sure Lino has really been a success over the 2 and a bit years for us but of the two I think Miller has been a bit more of a success.

It’s likely not an option anyway. One of our biggest issue is halfbacks though.

Swapping Lino and Miller would still leave Gaskell as the other halfback!

I don't think Lino is the issue being honest, we have a player who plays at 6 and to many that isn't his best position. probably best we get an upgrade on him first
