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.

| Lineham has played a lot better on the left wing than when he was on the right. I hope he stays.

I’m a massive fan of Charnley who I personally think has a great all-round game too.
Charnley rightly gets the plaudits he deserves, but Lineham is very underrated - he has a fantastic strike rate, is rarely caught out of position (I guess having Goodwin inside helps) and works hard bringing the ball away even if he doesn’t appear as enthusiastic as Charnley.

| I hope we are able to keep both of them. Charnley is the better of the two, but Lineham is big, strong and a very good finisher. Quicker than you’d expect too once he gets going.

| Incidentally, is he really that homesick for the York area? Or is it just that he still doesn’t get on with his snobby neighbours over here.
I would imagine he would be a better fit at Leeds than Hull, should the opportunity come along at the end of the season.

| Not sure what all the fuss (on either side) is personally - he's no mug and played centre for England a few years back. Reasonably big and quick, but I can't see him playing in the pack for us. Good PR though.

| Interesting reading the reactions at the time. Given that Burrell counted off the salary cap this was seen by a lot of people as a good bit of business from the club.

| Too much of a troll fest, less of an interesting reading, sadly.
