Hiya des how's it going ? Your right mate am always putting my foot in it lol

Maybe the emergence of Logan has helped with that?

FFS if we'd of signed a better centre then everyone would of been kicking off that Logan wasnt getting a chance

Regards Lineham he is a massive loss and yet again we lose a prize winger to a better team - who can blaim him though?

Personally i think our biggest weakness is half back. I think Sneyd is a great player but he needs class around him and Pryce is past it now so that only leaves Abdul and hes not a half back

Shaul
Fonua
Logan
CT
Lancaster

Micheals & Talanoa as back up. That's how I'd go.

How many more times does this need to be said? He wanted to go.

Things fine mate,as regards the foot the same goes for me.

You would go with CT in the centre despite never seeing him play there?

I'd go with you before Yeaman.

I do have a good offload

Is someone going to post why?

why did paea why did rankin why did taylor why did Pritchard why did manu why did anybody , ffs move on

Does it matter? He wanted to leave, we didn't stand in his way and got (imo) a great fee for a winger. Yes he'll be missed, but he's no Tom Briscoe and we've seen evidence from Naughton & Lancaster that they can do what he does. I'd imagine Fonua will have far more impact coming out of back field too.

I expect at some stage Lineham, himself, may make his reasons public.

i dont think you have to look any further than the coach

If Lineham had a bad attitude in training like a couple of others, then he has done the right thing, too many players don men the years have took the p&@s and I applaud Radford for his tough professional stance, that's what happens at Wigan and Leeds.

Easier to just blame the coach, Dave. Never the players fault!

Please explain, if you know something we don't.

Turning up training in fancy dress wouldn't help his cause. Radford alluded to it in a post match interview a few weeks back - saying that Logan, Abdull etc have the right attitudes and turn up to training in the correct kit. Sounded an odd statement unless it was a dig at someone!

once a bully, always a bully...simple

And another thread turns into a Radford bashing one. YAWN

Once a troll.....

Reading your posts makes me almost believe that Bumpy isn't so bad after all. At least he tries to put forward an argument whereas you are just a troll. Soon be time for you to be banned again.

If there was a trend of young exciting players leaving and/or being ousted consistantly from their position other than for playing reasons then we would have to ask why.

If a players attitude is awry (according to the coach) and becomes something they feel the need to change and it then doesn't change it is still difficult to point a finger as to whom is at fault from our (outside) perpective.
It could solely be the attitude of the player, one that is unworkable, but also it could be down to other factors. Is there a gap between an expectation/standard and what is realistic, are the expectations applied equally to all individuals, is there a clash of personalities, is there an underlying issue not being addressed, do the coaching staff have the ability and temperament to address the problem correctly?

There are times when there's a failure of both parties, however the moulding of players from the youth system should be able to sort out these issues & target poor attitudes early on, to also then decide whether it's worth holding onto a player or not.

Unless we have all the facts and know exactly whom said what when, to whom and how we'll never know what goes on.

We do know whatever was being done by the coaching team to address Lineham's defensive issues wasn't working, whether player fault or coaching fault we won't know until maybe the back of next season if anybody is really that bothered.
He's gone and we need to focus on the players that are here next year.

again?

and not being blinkered isn't against the AUP, this forum is about opinion, surely?

Except when it differs from your's, apparently.
