Me too... all I can say is that I'm glad that Stefan Ratchford hasn't sunken to such behaviour. Messy.

| looking forward to seeing Burrell in the P&B Very strong centre in RU, hopefully he can adapt to the defensive change of RL.

Wow...
If that's true....he'll be going.

| What strikes me looking at those clips is how similar his play is to Ben Murdoch-Masilla. He is probably a bit taller than BMM but around about the same weight ? Anyway, if he gets too slow for the centres ......

I would have thought powerful-running second row was his future rather than centre.

| Quite surprising so many ppl have said about putting him in the pack because of his size. I'd imagine that would be a bigger challenge fitness wise for him than playing out wide. Union forwards struggle with getting back the ten. It may still be difficult for him.

| He will stuggle the first season with getting back 10. No doubting that. Whatever happens this season eh needs to be judged come Feb 2020.
I’m pretty sure a heavily edited rugby league video highlighting a centre would feature some crap tackling viewed in isolation. Though a lot of it is bigger lads not getting there.
He’s nowhere near as explosive as BMM.
It’s not impossible he could end up on the wing? Especially if Lineham goes back to Hull.

I'll be quite sad when Lineham goes. He's been a quality signing barring that couple of months in 2016.

Interesting that he has never really been taken to the fan's hearts the way that Charnley has. Could it be his early association with R Bailey prejudiced people? He always comes across as a likeable sort of bloke to me...but I have never met him in person.

| Well wherever Burrell goes, he certainly has all the attributes we need for a number of positions.
SP has already talked about getting rid of some of his bulk, but I wonder how long it will take him to get up to speed with RL ?

| Fully up to speed? A year ish. Should be ready to go the start of next season physically. The two games aren’t that different if you fling him at centre or on the wing.
Charnley joined during a different time. Lineham is still associated with the end of the Smith era. He still doesn’t quite put the same effort in as Charnley in terms of helping out the forwards, but he improved massively in that area last season.

Not me. Lineham has an around better game than Charnley.
