Strange - 8 out of 8, and yet he's the new signing I'm least impressed with (verdict out on Bailey for obvious reasons) given the expectation.
(And Cox or Sandow would be the most impressive for me).
Lineham got riled by the fans yesterday in the 2nd half. That's the only time since Matt King that I've seen a Wire player with that sort of reaction. (I was nowhere near it, but it was clear something was going on).
Irrespective of that he has the potential to be very good but needs to knuckle down, concentrate 100% in games and develop his rugby league brain.
If you look at Penny taking the ball in, he seems to make a couple of extra yards by body position and leg drive. With Tom, he just seems to go to ground fairly easily. That might be what he's been told to do. I'm not sure. Interested to hear others views.
As Affi_7 says - winger always looks a numpty if he makes a mistake defending, but when it's a 2 on 1 then the issue isn't generally with the winger. (You could argue that perhaps he needs to read the game a little better and come in, but it's a tough call and you can't always get it right).
