If both Rankin & Shaul are going I'd sign Bowen for a year.

Shaul was at the 19s tonight though.

Bowen? You are kidding, right?

Lineham overall wobt be a massive loss. Its good when we're going well and he can finish a try. But as mentioned he seldom makes a break of his own doing,his metres coming out our end for a big kid are nothing special at times but most of all its attitude. Some1 inside the club said he doesnt care about rugby. Win lose draw hes the same. Likes being paid. When announced radford was asked about the squad and his plans. He mentioned hes trying to build a squad with the righr mental attitude and focus. To mention that in the interview about tom leaving was quite telling I thought.

Lineham is a massive loss whatever people say just like Briscoe was. To make out out Naughton or Lancaster are very bit as good makes you sound like a daft dobbin Dave. Letting him go to strengthen another side is a very bad decision on FCs part but this sort of lovin idiotic decision will continue under the DUMB Pearson regime

Can people not read or not understand the word potential?

I have not said either are currently as good as Lineham.

Rankin is going. Very homesick, I hear.
Shaul going too. In fact, I heard earlier that he left at the weekend.
Miller also leaving Wakefield and going home.

If they let Shaul leave that's me 100% not getting a pass after what Pearson said about him.

if shaul were to leave, as well as rankin, id play naughton at fb. I always thought he was brought in to make cover for wing/centre full back and or half back if needed.
played a lot of his rugby down under in the halves, think he could really make full back his own, as I say, if shaul is leaving aswell

It doesn't matter a great deal how good our wingers are until we have a settled HB & SO pairing.

I think Sneyd and Pryce were good additions but they haven't reached full potential regarding attacking play. Hopefully next season they will gel better and we will see better distribution in the back line
