Westerman has been superb

He scored a hat trick for the reserves on Saturday. He needs good centre that passes the balll

No doubt he can finish but he needs other players to do all the work. Rugby is a team sport and he's too lazy to get that.

Hmm not really he plays outside a good centre he performs. Of his ten tries in the first game how many were created by his centre.

I don't think dropping him is the answer and I would have penny n Lineham onbthe wings anyday over Russell n Evans we are cutting our nose off to spite are face in thus situation.

Again? The centre thing? A centre doesn't make him any better at anticipating and chasing kicks, or returning balls it taking first runs for quick ptbs.

His try scoring isn't in question, just every other thing.

Exactly. And Evans served him up plenty of ball when they were playing 2 and 3 together. You just have to look at the way our own Kev Penny, or the Pies' Manfredi, a much smaller player, runs the ball back at defences, and then watch Lineham seemingly shamble forward and fall over, almost avoiding 'collision' , to see that something is wrong with his attitude.

I am 95% certain he won't be here next year.

I can't see him being here but not sure who would want him given his current predicament. I've heard Wakey have signed Caton Brown but Salford already have another 2 decent wingers in vidot and Carney. Maybe Hull KR I suppose.

It depends whether anyone will/ can pay the wages we are. I've always wanted him to come good but if it's deemed he isn't even needed with a Wembley final on the cards and playoffs around the corner then something must be seriously wrong and he needs to go. The salary cap means that you can't afford to carry anyone who isn't playing and seemingly won't be considered for the first team.

Evans has given him plenty of ball lol yet has 3/4 assists all season!!

I'd not be sad to see him go he has so far not endeared himself to the club for whatever reason that could be debated all day long.

My point is he would still be a better option on the wing than either Russell and Evans as would penny who for whatever reason has been dropped.

Super league in general is missing world class centres or eve top quality ones. Think back to successful teams they have always had very good centres and wingers maybe not on both wings. We have Atkins that's it penny realistically is not top quality he's way down the list for an England call up Evans well he can defend Lineham has massively underperformed and underwhelmed yet scoring consistently. And King still needs time to develop he has had some good games but some awful ones too.

I dunno what to think lol I see the potential for him to be regular super league top scorer, n it's that he is not realising ihis potential that annoys me the most, players make mistakes knock ons make wrong decisions they are only human how they react to it is what makes the difference. Again he has not reacted as desired to the questions that have been asked of him. That can change but only Tom can make that happen and I think if he can show desire and improvement he can easily get back in to the team!!!

I appreciate hindsight is a game changer, but I was surprised when your club paid a 6 figure fee for Lineham.

Great finisher, but no defence and not really a team man.

and that is the point when a club is investing cash and decent cash at that, you'd have thought that we would have known what we were getting. As fans we often base a view on hindsight as we aren't exposed to a players qualities good and or bad in the same way even if we knew that a particular player was on the radar.

Perhaps TS and Co thought they could coach the lad better than his counterpart at FC?
