Even if Ashton wasn’t in the picture, you’ve got to feel that Powell can get another winger playing to a similar standard at a much lower salary. I like Lineham, he’s better than he gets credit for but he really has had some brain farts disciplinary-wise. Add that to the fact he wants to eventually be closer to home and I think it’s the right time for a switch. Perfect fit to replace Briscoe at Leeds.

We will miss the flying pig but it seems its a move that suits everyone. He's been really good for us for the most part and will have a part to play if we reach the business end this season.

Not as easy to catch though.

I agree I think he has given a good interview there. I hope he gets a good contract at a Yorkshire club.

I don’t know.
My latest memory of Tom was last week. No one touched him.
Cup semi final against Leeds at Bolton, 2 tries no one touched him.
Cup semi final for Hull at Huddersfield against us. No one touched him.
I could go on.

Ashton, 2 bad hamstring injuries last 2 years.
We’ll see, but I’m not convinced

I don’t need to be convinced about Tom Lineham. I’m a big fan of him. Best winger in the league for me. Breaks tackles like a backrower and has a sweet kick ahead and an eye for support if required.

Like you I’m an admirer of TL but best winger in the league? I’m not so sure!

I like Lineham, he's a good winger and excellent finisher. Can't remember him breaking tackles like a backrower though unless you mean like Jack Hughes.

He’s not even the best winger at Warrington.

I think he is for the time being, if the plan is to sign up Tom Davies though I'm happy with that exchange.

A classic line but inaccurate at present.

Well more of a bust.

Not even top 5. Barely top 10

That’s because you are an absolute idiot with no concept of what is important in the modern game of rugby league.

You pass up the opportunity a forum offers, to give your opinion of who plays wing and what the important bits of RL are in 2022....and you call me an “absolute idiot”?
