There's obviously a certain poster on here, a shade of red, who does go OTT with his sniping at the club in general and how it's run, but you have to see his point occasionally. His argument against the club, is we do often play the penniless pauper, yet Lineham is still here, and to justify his being here, surely he has to be first choice?? But how many fans would like to see him starting ahead of Murphy, Taufua, Kershaw, Kay? Not me, but like i've said, if he doesn't play, then the club are wasting money, are they not??

We'll never know will we?
And you talk about other posters being clairvoyants......

Has Lewis Murphy changed his name by deed poll ? Thought this was an atoni thread ?

Surely he is only first choice if he's the form winger. You don't pick your team on salary.
Strange logic.

But as has been said, if you want to discuss our wing options, just open a new thread. Not on this one.

So you don't think Murphy is Toms replacement.

What wing he's on is utterly not relevant imo, it's about having a player with massive strike potential, who cares what wing that comes down?

Well, we will beg to differ, back to what looks like our potentially fantastic new signing.

Ok final word on this thread, strange logic? What about giving a guy over 30 a hefty (allegedly) 3 year deal, then loaning him out to a championship club, signing an ex RU winger with virtually no RL experience, who did ok, not signing him, then bringing back the guy who you loaned out......

If you want to know the reasons to that one I will give you a clue in no particular order, blamed for poor defence, loaned out, gave an opinion, had a fall out, old coaching methods, injured and played.

Lets see where we are now with hands on coaching by all the staff not just some with up to date methods. lets see what happens eh.

I am certain you will some much happier players willing to do the business this coming season unlike last season where you could see all the apathy from some players last season until the bullet was bitten.

So in your world there are no errors? Some signings just don't come off and nobody complained at the time. He could still prove to be ok.

I'm still baffled by your logic. We didn't bring Lineham back, he NEVER left! The reason we have had to keep him is because he has a contract which is binding, end of, there is nothing we can do about that, unless someone else wants him or he does something we can sack him for.

We don't have a contract with Evans, it's that simple, so why add him to the roster in a position we have well covered! As for the age, you can't be serious. Lineham was 28 when we signed him, your making out we signed him yesterday, you're just twisting things here, he wasn't over 30 at the time. Evans had we signed him would have have been 33 at the start of his first season! No comparison.

Lineham had been a top winger for a long time when we signed him . If he is dedicated to the cause and recaptures form we should be delighted . Like having a new signing . We shall see .

Not really true that.

He had a few belting seasons at Hull, got picked up by Wire on big money and pretty much declined season on season whilst he was there.

His last couple of seasons at Wire he was poor.

Once more. If you want to post about other players, open another thread.

I'll start taking them down from now on.

Welcome to the club Renouf.

Big unit, and just coming to the peak of his career.

Maybe one more, especially with the news today on Shaw, and we look to have quite a strong pack, and squad in general

Just returned home from the Supporters Christmas lunch, JM gave a short talk and apologised for MC not being there, apparently he was just returning from the Airport having met one of the new signings, I think he mentioned Atori,

Fairly sure that's MC's garage

Reserve grader at best -

Thanks for the input if you believe all the Aussie crap he will be outstanding in SL

Like David Fifita was? That’ll do for me if he plays to the same level in a Trinity shirt for the next 4/5 seasons…..

You never fail to show your lack of knowledge.
But even if he's a reserve grader, being 5th best prop at Sydney Roosters is easily good enough for Super League.

It's easily good enough for most of the newer NRL teams tbh.

There are no guarantees in truth, but if there is an equation for these kinds of second chance players then he's it.

Thought we'd done well for a while.
If we were to go by your [iexpert[/i knowledge every time we'd be playing in the Yorkshire Leagues,,,

Anyone who’s bothered to look at the guys stats will know that we are getting a potentially good player. He was getting faithful regular game time in the NRl up until 2021 when an injury struck. That said his stats also in the nrl reserve grade are very impressive.

NSWRL

86 appearances
28 try’s (wow)

2022 season stats

14 appearances
5 try’s
26 tackle busts
9 avg hit ups
612 post contact meters
95% tackle efficiency

NRL

43 appearances
2020/2021 - made 30 apps so fairly regular till his injury.

I’d say thats very good stats and we are getting a good player. Bodes well with a number of NRL fans disappointed to see him go to SL.

The poor sod must be colder than a witch's tit
