Can anybody name a current winger who's a great defender too??

Not current I know but Dessie

It's not always the wingers fault, centre goes missing ( Atkins ) or second rower so winger is left stranded.

I don't really know what to make of this signing.
I'd have thought wingers were possibly the last position we needed to strengthen given that we've got Monaghan, Penny, Ormsby, Russell, Evans.

From what I've seen Lineham is a good strong player but defence is suspect and £140k is a lot.

He's not my top British winger, but then again the 'top' ones are fairly well fixed at some of our competitors who wouldn't sell for that sort of money.
Agar influence undoubtedly here. I hope it works out.

I'd rather that money be spent going towards a half to be honest.

A half will be our marquee player!

Top signing, TS must read my mind, first Daryl Clark(will come good and all the wire doubters, the same fans who don`t rate Currie(only 20), and the same who wanted King and M.Monas to go home can have a humble pie eating contest) now Tom Lineham. Big(17st+), strong, fast, good hands, and good in the air best young winger in the game by far. Before anyone rants on about defence(name a good defensive winger) you can work on that, getting a regular centre defensive patterns will come. Wire have brought in the current man of steel, young player of the year this season, and the current SL top try scorer for next season, both only 22. "the future is primrose and blue"

Well put Willo.

He is a direct replacement for Monaghan.

He is a direct replacement for Joel's position. There is a difference.

Monaghan is going

Will Bridge still be playing next season?, he certainly knows how to put Lineham away with an accurate kick. Suspect defence or not, Lineham is a freak of a winger and is a good signing for you lot.
