Doesn't look up for it, what's happened to him? Poor positioning twice today making it too easy for Rovers and it happened twice vs Warrington too?

What's happened to him? Nothing he's just had a quiet game with a couple of costly errors. Nothing has happened to him, he's our top try scorer and having a good season.

Head turned by Wire?

Personally don't think it's true.

Sell him , that's what I think .
If Wire are offering cash , snap there hand off !! Cost us today.

Too busy waiting for a showboating interception again. Twice. Bad form that.

First game back from injury so maybe a bit rusty , Ffs tho boys we've just smashed our little neighbours , were 7 from 9 , a lot of positive of late but it's in some fans nature to still look at any negative spin they can find , yeaman played well so who can have a swipe at today .... Erm lets get Tom ( I've heard he's gonna wire anyway)



Coyh

He has being caught out again, needs to trust his inside man more which a lot of players are guilty of (& not just FC players)
Saying that he's very very good under the high ball, decent turn of speed for a big lad and agressive in attack.
Not sure if we are going to keep him or not but for now just keep working on his D and scoring more tries than he lets in (the Brazil way..lol)

Looked a bit rusty but still looks to have a bit of speed. Chased sio down

Nope, that was him waiting for interceptions. He attempted a poor one for Man-Tomato's first try.

Spot on, in those situations a winger needs to trust in his centre. I was always taught when on the wing to keep on the outside of my opposite winger, no matter how big the gap became, and only move inside of it's clear the centre has been beaten. Although it's almost natural to move towards the ball and help in the tackle.


It's probably Linehams main weakness. I'd imagine playing with a number of different centre partners this season is more of a factor than a potential move away.

He's been the same since we signed him, constantly gets dragged inside. Got barely any ball today as we went to dixon's wing all game. I don;t believe for a second he;s not interested even if he is leaving

He had a poor game but I'm not sure it warrants it's own thread.

Got caught out for the 1st try as why did he come in as Sa had Welham lined up big style and I thought he was at fault for Our 1st attack as Rankin put out a lovely pass and he was nowhere to be seen.

Well as the usual scapegoats Houghton and Yeaman did OK so there has to be someone for our resident whingers to trash. There were a couple of bad reads in defence due to lack of communication and confidence but its Lineham's first game back from injury and Sa's first at centre for a while. I'd be more worried if they didn't address this in training this week and were repeating these errors next game.

After the try was scored Pryce has a right go at him in the background but as for the opportunity we created the pass from Rankin was awful he did it again a few minutes later on the other wing we created an overlap and Rankin's pass went a mile forward to Talanoa

He didn't have a great game but not sure it was bad enough to warrant it's own thread. He does have a tendency to jam in towards his centre which needs work - he's only about a foot too far in for both tries but it's enough to create the scoring opportunity. Put plenty of effort in to try and stop Sio so not sure there's any evidence of his heart not being in it or his head being elsewhere.

Fairly sure that if there weren't the Wire rumours surrounding him nobody would have bothered to create a thread about his performance.

Bit unfair this thread, I don't there is ever a doubt he puts anything but 100% into his game, got caught out for the first try and didn't really get the ball at all and Hull targeted their left which worked a treat.

If Warrington offer money for him over 6 figures I would sell him, I don't any winger in SL is worth that amount and he could be replaced without too much fuss.

Agree even with a great win theres sum who still got to have a dig

Defensively suspect but got virtually no ball. Thread unwarranted.

To be fair, he spent most of his first full season making up for Ben Crooks' deficiencies. Maybe trusting his centre doesn't come easy now.

Tom Lineham is an outstanding young player. He's still learning the game.

Please don't think he's the finished article. He has a few things to work on and that is why he's so highly rated by his peers, because he has so few things that he has to work on for a young player.
Granted his line defence and positional defence are 2 areas he has to work on, but he's not going to fix it overnight. He has to work on it and he'll get it right with time.

Lineham is a force for us and a player our opposition fear.

Radford knows very well his deficiencies and will get him right. Not only that, did you see the bollocking he got from Pryce after his Mantellano miss ? I tell you, a bollocking like that on the pitch from a champion SL player will speed up the learning process.
Just stay with him people and back him. He's ours, lets enjoy him and support him.

He went off injured didn't he? Dud Radford mention anything about the injury?

Naughton back or a chance for Lancaster?

looked winded to me

took a hit in the last two minutes

Looked ok eating that bag of food.
