Also, are we just assuming the clean slate with a new coach doesn`t apply to Lineham? He`s been a big disappointment for me since he`s signed, but you never know...

Re: Kyle evans : Tue Oct 25, 2022 12:37 pm  

We are very light at centre and Jorge could be used in that area. If so that makes room for Evans.
Forget Lineham he wont play for us again from what I hear, and rightly so !

Not even close to being as good as Kershaw IMO, can’t agree with what you say and I don’t think many will.

I’m a big fan of Evans but come on he’s played a handful of games.

He’s fourth choice however you view it, especially when Kershaw and Murphy are ten years younger.

Thats why we all have our opinions i guess as for me kyle is by far the better player.its no attack at lee just from What ive seen of both,lee would of struggled last night esp with the high bomb but kyle was superb,i also have seen both play in reserve games and yes while not the higest standard kyle seemed to impact those games more than lee.as i say though it all opinions

I think the difference is that Evans is a straight up winger that does all the wing duties well, including scoring a try, whereas Kershaw is also a good winger but is exceptional at bringing the ball out against a tough defense.
Ones best at the back of the field, one is good at the front.

Re: Kyle evans : Tue Oct 25, 2022 2:35 pm  

I think KE offers more than either of our two LKs for the wing opposite Murphy. Problem is for how long?

I haven't got your knowledge of reserve games etc but you're right it is all about opinions.
Evans was excellent last night and I reckon he has a couple if not 3 seasons left in him, whether it's in SL or not, time will tell. Who'd be a coach eh?

Re: Kyle evans : Tue Oct 25, 2022 5:00 pm  

Rate Evans. Would definitely keep.

Re: Kyle evans : Tue Oct 25, 2022 6:54 pm  

He would appear to not have a contract with us which if correct I would expect him to be snapped up by another club.

Memories of Keith Mason who got a gig at Saints following an outstanding game representing Wales.

Normally age isn’t a factor for me as in the case of Proctor.

This time it is. It’s not his age as such but at 32 he’s played a grand total of four first team games I believe.

So you have to ask, is he really ready for regular SL. Well it will cost you to find out as they say.

Unlike Murphy whose wage is tiny Evans doesn’t have 12 year or so to pull that back. Unless he has private means and thus money is not the motivating factor he needs a big contract, it’s just logic, as he has three years of first team max imo.

Now if we were short of wingers then why not. But we are not. We have two very good wingers, both of whom will be looking for substantial wage increases very soon.

So do you pay for a 32 year old in the hope of him doing well. Or do you throw it all at two young players with literally years ahead of them.

Like it or not and I know some will be tutting but we only have so much cash. Running a RL club without a sugar daddy is as much about balancing the books as what happens on the pitch.

I’m a huge fan of Evans and were he just a few years younger I’d say do it. But unless he’ll take a modest wage he’s not worth it the risk I’m afraid. Not when we have two up and comers. We have to choose unfortunately, unless we can off load Lineham .
imho.

One thing that’s annoying the hell out of me is this utter nonsense that Kershaw is error prone. Total chuffing guff. Like all youngster he was unsteady at first but last year and on his return he’s been no more error prone than anyone else.

Why to a Trinity fans continually do this to young players, it’s a bizzare kind of abuse imo.

If you want a player who was totally error prone it was Grix, he was still at it in his thirties yet he still didn’t get as much stick as TJ and now Kershaw does for rookie errors . Wallo being the exception in Grix case
