If we sign Korobete and sell Lineham I will be massively disappointed.

I'd agree with that. Koroibete is a proper flying machine and I would love us to sign him, but not at the expense of Lineham.

If it meant Talanoa out then I would be happy. I like Talanoa, he's got an awful lot of good qualities, but I think he lacks the speed to be a top class winger.

unless long term that answer is to play Talanoa in the centres

It's a possibility, but I'm not sure he's got the passing game. Sa and Crooks need to be our centres in the medium to long term imo.

Talanoa can cover #1 to #5. That makes him valuable in a small squad. I know Radford wants to ship out the squad players but that doesn't rule out having a two or three utility players.

Here is another to put in the ring. A few days ago Talanoa was on a train with his young family going to seaside for the day, when a good friend of mine got chatting with him and told him he was going home at the end of the season. They were supposed to get off at Brid and Talanoa and his family got kicked off the train near Scarborough.

Lineham said not that long ago, that he owes radders and hull fc some loyalty after we gave him his chance, so don't see that happening.

Talanoa and Sa will end up centres IMO.

Arundel played well when given the chance, apart from when on wing, but if he is on big money (which rumoured) then not seen anything to justify that. But as say, not given chance.

A winger, a play maker is a must for us

Re: rumours on twitter : Tue Jun 10, 2014 11:27 am  

So we're writing Ben Crooks off as a centre already then? Sa & Crooks centres, Talanoa utility back.

I can't understand your friend wanting to stay at Brid for more than a day, never mind the holiday season

He lives in Scarborough and I trust his word. Looks like Talanoa deffo going back home to Oz.

Koroibete nearly signed before we got Sa I was told. Would be a great signing.
rumours around that wigan could be back in for lineham which added to rumours around wigan about charnley being on the outer then its one of them where u can put 2n2 together?!

rumour is that charnley is unsettled at wigan and has upset wane with his attitude. they could well come in for lineham as a replacement. can't see charnley going the other way though, he'll probabaly end up on the salford gravy train
