I love lineham and think he's a brilliant Winger, but yeah i wouldn't offer him a new deal at the end of the year. Ashton to take his spot and Lineham will have to work extremely hard to get back in to the team.

Ashton is not a winger, I repeat, not a winger!

Will be glad to see the back of him. The brains of a rocking horse.

I do like Lineham, he is capable of scoring some great tries. And I think he’s been a little hard done to in this instance, three matches for a little shove seems a lot.

But if it is as many as 21 matches, there’s really no excuse. That’s not all review panels being hard on him.

The thing is, I don’t think he’s stupid. Listen to his post match interviews. He can clearly think for himself, he can be funny and doesn’t trot out the poundland media training clichés that every team seems to rely on.

Bit of an oddball.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Curate’s egg of a player. I like him, but last seasons incident followed so closely by this means he is a liability so it’s a no from me.

Which means currently of our 2 1st choice wingers, 1 is missing and the other is unrecognisable as the player of old. Youth may be given its chance!

Re: Tom Lineham : Tue Apr 13, 2021 7:09 pm  
Lineham did improve when Price took over, and for a stretch he was a pretty good player. But now he's one of our uncomfortably large group of players that are standing still or sliding backwards and he misses a lot of games.

He has had a decent try scoring record through his career but he's been up and down, had injury problems, suspensions, questionable decision maker sometimes, and we did pay a lot of money for him. At his age now you know what you are getting with him, he's not an upcoming player with potential if he can iron a few things out.

He's one of those players that people on here list when they are trying to make arguments that our squad is just as good as Wigan/Saints we just need a better coach. When he leaves us, I bet he won't get picked up by Wigan or Saints.

When Powell takes over it will be revealing to see which players he moves on and what clubs they sign for: it will answer a few things about the quality of Price's squad.

He’s also not the best fullback in the squad, can’t play anywhere else other than wing and offers nothing from the bench. If I were him, I’d take my chances on the wing.

But he’s a genuine game breaker and our fastest player. You play him fullback with Ratchford at lock.

Whether he ends up at FB or not, Linehams's stupidity opens the door for Ashton. Being on the wing needn't dampen Ashton's attacking impact in the same way it didn't lesson Jason Robinson's, for example, another player who didn't start his career at winger and probably wouldn't have felt it suited him.

Of course having a coach who doesn't use his wingers as extra props would help.
