Think Lino overall has had a decent start. I personally feel for the bloke.

He’s had 4 halfback partners in 5 league games! Also, 4 different fullbacks....Getting any sort of combination going must be totally difficult.

He’s steadily improving imo despite the challenges. He seems to have a good step and he pokes his body through the line well. He was one of our better players today. Set the assist for Bott, forced a drop out and sent some decent passes out. He was strong in defence today too. His only blip was the kick out on full today.

I’m fine with Lino and we will see more good things from him. It’s the other half’s that are the issue if we can get them on the field.

. Lino is handicapped with having to play most of first 6 games with a makeshift 6 and 9 .Though he had is best game tonight .But fans will just point out is missed kick to touch. Get Miller and K Wood playing with him week in week out and we should see the best of him .Just saying K Wood because he is by far the best 9 we have got .But think it's a position we should have strenthed at least a year ago

And failing to find touch when we had a penalty which changed momentum

Sorry my bad he never kicked the ball out on full. I meant the kick that failed to hit touch. That was the only blip I meant. I don’t know what in an otherwise good performance he’s getting so much stuck for one error.

I personally dont think hes that bad but he isnt what we needed mason not a orginiser or as a kicking game we needed what we where looking for and no thats not mason fault i actually think madon is a better 6 opposed to a 7...

Think when he signed i put on here that from what i’d seen of him in the NRL he reminded me of a slightly better Ryan Hampshire. Not seen anything to change my mind yet, don’t think he’s the midfield general we needed.

You missed the spilled ball that lead to a penalty that lead to Catalans 2nd try and when he failed to get a kick away and was collared on the last tackle. As guilty as Kershaw today for giving Catalans invitations.

I don't think he's been that bad to be fair. He doesn't have much to work with does he.

I wonder how he would go at hooker?

Re: Lino : Sat May 01, 2021 10:59 am  

Very Unfair to blame Lino for the pass he dropped, It's been said he is was short of a 6 and 9 to take pressure of him.The opposition new were the ball was going and closed him down fast .He can not do every thing on is own

Re: Lino : Sat May 01, 2021 12:31 pm  

You could bob Nathan cleary in at 7 for us and we’d still be in the same position with how many different changes to our spine we’ve had so far, and just sheer poor structures. Chester shouldn’t of bigged him up saying he’ll light up SL, lads barely played 30 NRL games in 5 years. He’s obviously the best option we could find within our finances so no point in bagging the lad, not as if he’s come over as a marquee player or with a big reputation.
