That absolutely baffled me I have to say. Lino’s agent played a blinder there.

Regardless of who he’s partnered with this year we’ve looked completely rudderless and disjointed in attack. I’m not even sure he knows what he’s going to do until the ball ends up in his hands.

Last night he had runners outside him and dummied, delayed and then either sent a pass too late or jinked about. There were options last night which could have led to overlaps but for Lino to put in a bullet pass to a dummy runner instead of out back or a poor pass to the ankles.

His kicking isn’t great either.

I won’t doubt his enthusiasm but his style is just not working with how we are playing or wanting to play. What amazes me is that we signed him long term when he’s probably not the player to fit in with the style Mash wants to play. I’m not sure he would even go well in the championship.

Saw this on face book - every trin booking will be one less of the three fingered ones Anyone thinking of going to the Cas game, get your tickets now. I was in the club shop buying mine yesterday and was told we’d given them 550 away tickets, they’ve already sold out and asked for more. We’re delaying to give home fans more time to buy, but the clock is ticking and you may get frozen out. Do you really want ‘them’ stood next to you? Get online or down to the shop asap before this sells out, not a game you want to miss. I know it’s on Sky, but it’s not the same as being there.

I am sure this will bring out the usual moaners about Sky moving games but lets be honest there is over 5 weeks notice and are well within their contractual rights to move this. As soon as we started winning a couple of games and getting close to Cas this was always going to be a Sky game.

For all those people moaning that they now can't go there will be also people who now can so its swings and roundabouts. It wont affect the attendance as with our reduced capacity it will sell out.

Trouble is ... to get cheap advance train tickets, you need to book as far in advance as you can. Not wait until some arbitrary 4/5/6 weeks before the game. That's £32 down the drain to LNER.

Your logic is indisputable, live long and prosper.

Give the guy a break, Lino played the last game with out is hooker and standoff for most the game Good one about the style of rugby coach wants to play, 15 losses on the trot ,6 game's on the trot with out scoring a try This shocking season is all down to poor coaching, and having a team full of old players .At least give Lin o 4 or 5 games before saying how crap he is .

We all see things differently.
The fact he’s has had so many partners is part of the problem.
To read sone of the comments on here you get the feeling Lino was solely responsible for all the defeats! Absolute rubbish!
Give him a proven stand off to work with and I think you’ll see a different Lino

I agree. He needs to improve but Lino at his best is a great attacking weapon. We need to find a way to get it out of him.
