He used to be first choice at cas way back

I would think that westerman must be carrying a knock as well. To be fair to westwood our kicks were pretty much from the touch lines and the first was really close.

Tom Lineham has been dropped apparently,Evans playing on the wing with Hughes at centre
Going on too many nights out with his flat mate I've heard

I think this is our issue at present, not so much the players out injured as the players playing through injury, all our squad men seem to be injured at present.

Lineham was training with the reserves yesterday.

Quite frankly, what an idiot.

Thought you were the lad I stand next to in the South Stand then....only thing is, I know your being sarcastic and he, unfortunately, wasn't!!

If we do have players with knocks should we really be dropping fit players just because he had a night out? Maybe there is more to it than we know. He did have a stinker last Friday but so did matty.

Yes if it was against what the Club deems as unacceptable behaviour.

Perhaps some of us thought that Mr Bailey may have a negative affect on the team in one way or another. Quite frankly a return to the drinking culture is not what is needed. If true I would cancel his contract and give Lineham a right talking to, this guy is a right fool if any of this is true.

Yes we should, absolutely - assuming what we are reading is correct.

He's come here on decent money you would think, for a big fee. He needs to grow up and realise if he wants to go anywhere in his career these things just aren't acceptable. I thought drinking at all the night of a game was a no no as it delays recovery time, to stay out till 05:30 (allegedly) is just plain stupid. I'm not sure what the rules were at Hull FC, but if TS says its not acceptable he shouldn't be doing it - and I'm not one that has been criticising his performances, I've thought he's been doing ok.

If Toby King was fit I'd be sitting him down for a lot longer than a week.

In Smith we trust, I think he should be dropped for a bit of attitude adjustment. He's a good finisher but with his attributes and how long he has been in the game he should be a better all round player. I have been convinced that smith will improve him as a player but that will only happen if Tom buys in to wanting to improve and takes it seriously. I have no problem with players going out drinking whether we win or lose , but the club will be setting protocols and they are set for a reason if they have been broken then there must be a punishment.

He'll get another chance and I hope this will kick start his career, I'm still backing him to come good and feel he will prove to be a good signing.

not at all, I haven't said that. I was just answering the question that asked if he has played at hooker for Warrington which he has, albeit in the Reserves.

Never understood this "It's OK for them to have a beer but..". attitude, no it isn't. They're professional athletes and they're body is the tool of their trade. You wouldn't find a courier taking his transit van rallying at weekends, or a carpenter leaving his tools out in the rain when he's not working.

They have what is many peoples dream job, and with that job comes an amount of sacrifices, of which drinking should be one. If they're lucky then they can have a good long career and still have 50 years plus to eat and drink what they like.

After a good hard win, they're told to go out and have a beer...set a single standard of either NEVER during the season or occasional, but don't change your mind each week.

I don't think going out on the lash until the sun comes up can be dismissed as 'going for a beer'. It's stupid and irresponsible. Frankly it doesn't surprise me at all, the lad's attitude has been awful since he joined and he needs to sort himself out before he ruins his career.
