An alternative viewpoint seen on Twitter. Wind back a year and get Sneyd and £40k in exchange for Lineham.

If players want to leave, they can leave. If we get paid, so much the better.

If we are more than well covered in a particular position, then sell someone. I can't see the problem.

It balances the books and gives us the option of strengthening elsewhere.

I agree. It's not just about the transfer fee received, it means we can redistribute the salary cap.
The imbalance of our salary cap was a legacy of the McRae/Howes era, which is now being addressed.

Absolute load of balls some of these posts. All of you would have kept him like we would have kept paea if we had the chance. Sometimes you just have to say bollax we lost a good un.

Still think centre's our biggest miss, need to rebalance there, especially if Sa not retained.

Well said

I haven't seen one poster who is glad he is leaving, most have said they would rather he stay, but most can see the rational behind Toms and the club decision.

Amazing isn't it, especially when no one other than wore fans were claiming the signing of Linehamicon_wink.gif

Comedy thread with a ludicrous opening post.

Deary me - what has this place become?

Just the usual crowd stirring s.hit

The boo boys are upset about our good playing form and reflexively cling to whisps of negativity so they can wrap themselves in self-righteous victimhood as it is the closest they ever come to feeling alive. This is the internet after all.

Well said,must be a good buy,Tony Smith said he would be on the International scene before long.

Wind back a year and Sneyd was being subbed in a cup final for being rubbish, alternative viewpoint mind.

Dear oh dear

Oh yeah Scott taylor to replace paea ,chris Riley to replace lineham downward spiral! Take rose tinted glasses off washbrook will save us NOT

The truth was hull messed him about with his contract and when hull offered him a deal he said he had secured his future elsewhere hull to blame but people won't like reading that so suppose I'll get slagged off again !

Yeaman of course should of got rid years ago

Have you anything good to say about hull ?

I disagree, Washbrook on his own will win us the double next year, scoring 50 trys, be MOS and be announced England captain in 2016.

So Yeaman, who plays on the opposite side to Lineham is responsible for the poor service he gets? You don't mind flashing your ignorance do you, you sad dobbin troll?

I'm not sure what's going on, but every doom monger & negative so and so has crawled out of the woodwork this week.

The sale of Lineham, plus the prospect of signing Washy and retaining Yeaman, has made them lose their tiny minds.

If these signings come off there will soon disappear till the next bit of negative news

Lineham - presumably no-one actually wanted to see him go?
Washbrook - an underwhelming signing but I can see the reasons behind it
Yeaman - should we really be excited about him staying another year?

The above are no justification for doom and gloom but nothing to have us cheering and clapping about either.

Here's hoping for some really good news soon.

Aye thought it might of been, remind me the last time Lineham played outside of Yeaman oh knowledgeable one.
