And that's why he's with us because that's what we can afford!

Again...what must Rocky think?!

Probably, I hope my jaw heals soon so I can get back to playing. He’s injured so I don’t get the Hampshire comment. If Hampshire was fit he would be playing at 6.

I think Lino has done a lot more good so far after 6 games with different half partners/full back partners. There’s more to come from him. He’s had the odd few mistakes yes but literally everything is going through him. I barely noticed max at 6 but Lino is involved in almost everything. Must be hard on the guy but he’s committed as you say.

He needs to be given some time.

From what I've seen so far I would say that they are pretty much equal. We all know that Rocky has had several years to kick on to the next level and hasn't done so, whereas Lino has only played 7 games so far, so as others have said above let's give the lad chance to establish himself, hopefully with a regular 1 and 6 alongside him

He wouldn't as it would be Miller. Our starting halfs are Lino & Miller....Max at full back....so where does it leave Rocky (again?!)

I do agree though that Lino needs more time....I think he has something....but the team needs to be settled and that's not possible at the minute. Come to think of it, the team hasn't been settled for 18 months due to injuries.....

I don't think Hampshire was fit when he played, seemed to be carrying some kind of injury.

To be fair to rocky he hasn't had the luxury of staying in 1 position to develop and kick on due to the injuries the team have had in the last couple of seasons. He's played fb, so, sh, wing.

Yes he had a knee operation in February after carrying a knee injury from previous season.

Yes I agree but he has also played for Wigan, Cas and Leigh as well as us and didn't manage to nail down a particular position at any of those clubs either. I'm not criticising him as I think he is a good player, but he just hasn't nailed down his best position, whatever that may be.

Didn't mean to say you were criticising just again at his previous clubs due to injuries he was moved positions regularly.
