| I've tried that but it doesn't work. Even navigating to certain pages is a nightmare. Thanks anyway.

| Trojan Horse:
Now the 21 has been released. Vagana returns is a boost.
I would make a few tweaks but not too many:
Roarke Russell Scott Pratt Johnstone Trueman Lino Mckmeeken Hood Atoni Vagana Croft/ Griffin Pitts
Smith Uele Rodwell Faatilli
Only tough choice was Croft/Griffin but we need more minutes from our second row. I would consider spelling Pitts there if needed with Rodwell or Mckmeeken going 13.
Lino just about keeps his place but he needs to have a good game with Trueman this week with no errors like kicking into touch.
That team looks strong and can certainly do the business. The forwards like KR will need to dominate down the middle vs Leigh.
On what basis does Lino just about keeps his place ?, he's had a good game every time he's played with Trueman, he made one error with ONE kick and has been slaughtered for it and on the other hand Trueman's stand in hardly set the game alight did he, had even a bit of luck gone our way you'd have to be looking to find something else to have a side swipe at Lino, and fwiw please give me some indication where no other player has not made any errors, thanks in anticipation.

| Ugh this site is a joke.
Halfway through a reply to a post about Lino and it refreshes and my reply disappears and now I can’t find the original message from the poster.
Its been weeks now and I seriously hope the list of issues is being worked through because having used this for a couple of decades or so I’m actually thinking of washing my hands of it right now.

Lino has made the same mistake twice at similar times against KR and FC on kicking it out on the full and losing the pressure at a very important part of the game. I genuinely don’t mind Lino at all, he’s a savage in defence and it’s nice to see him playing alongside a decent 6 in Truman and hopefully forging a decent partnership, if they play consistently together. For me and I’ve said this in another thread, does Lino make us a very good top 6 team in arguably the most pivotal position on the field, I’m not sure. Would he make it into any other of the top 6 teams at 7, in my opinion no. He’s by far the best 7 at the club and from what I’ve seen Oli Russell can’t tie his shoe laces. Like other players in the team, I hope the mistakes are knocked on the head and we can win a lot more than we lose.

You really took the Lino comment and run a marathon with it didn’t you. It’s my opinion, you don’t need to share it. I think you’ll find I have early season praised Lino for going better than I expected. Nobody has said he doesn’t go well with Truman. As for having a good game every one he’s played. IMO he was better first few games but last few he’s not been as effective, especially in last tackle plays. That kick out on the full vs Hull was at a key time and costly. Second time I think this season. I am not saying he is playing bad, I even still have him the nod in the team did I not? What I am pondering is if Russell could offer more given the opportunity with Truman. The last tackle plays especially have not been up to scratch imho. All 3 need to take accountability. I get Lino has his fan club but for me he started very well but I think he’s been less effective last few games and I would like to see more from him. I felt the last 2 games especially vs Hudds and Hull the way we have finished sets hasn’t been good enough. The answer may or may not lay with Lino. I’m not sure at this point in time. And no I wouldn’t just randomly have a swipe at Lino. Why would I bother going on about other players making errors when that’s not the only reason for my thinking as stated above. Not sure why the big reaction. I still put him in the line up I’d like to see this weekend.

Exactly that, you've just pointed out the point I was making, not really a fair question imo asking which other clubs' he would make it into at this stage of the season, he's made two kicking errors in two intense games and as he's the go to kicker he'll probably make more errors when put under pressure, hopefully nobody else in the makes any mistakes and criticised by far more critical posters than your good self.

| We’ll see come the end of the year whether Powell and Mills see him as a 7 who will be part of the plans going ahead with our ambitions of top 6. He’s only 31, so got plenty of good Rugby in him. This year is the first year in SL he’s had a quality 6 at the side of him behind a dominant pack. For me he didn’t tear up trees in the championship. I hope he absolutely tears up SL, we finish in the 6 etc etc.
At the end of the day, he’s in a very pivotal position, he’ll earn good money for doing so as 7’s are usually the highest paid players in world Rugby, if he mucks up he’ll gain more criticism than say a winger for knocking on. I like to think I’m very fair and try to give a balanced view. They’re only human and make mistakes, you’d have to be a pillock to not realise that, but I hope as a team collectively we cut out the mistakes, do that and I genuinely don’t fear us playing any team.

There you go, sums it up perfectly for me which was my point in the first place, you mention in your post that you hope the other players cut out their mistakes then I hope you view their mistakes in the same light as Lino's then just maybe we wont both be judged as pillocks.

You really took the Lino comment and run a marathon with it didn’t you. No not really, I just thought your comment was a touch harsh nothing else and I just simply used my right of reply which apparently hasn't gone down too well. It’s my opinion, you don’t need to share it. It's a forum in case you've forgotten Nobody has said he doesn’t go well with Truman. Your right so what's your point. I get Lino has his fan club but for me he started very well but I think he’s been less effective last few games and I would like to see more from him.
If that's a dig at me then I should point out I'm a fan of every player at the club and not any one individual if that's ok.
Not sure why the big reaction. I still put him in the line up I’d like to see this weekend.
No big reaction from me, it would seem though that with the rant you have just come out with you either think I'm stalking you or I have touched a nerve which believe me I'm not, failing that, sorry if that's the case as it was not intended.

| I'm fine with Lino. He makes less mistakes than most and does a heck of a lot that is good.
And he's better with Trueman.
