With all the other stuff going on, I've lost track.
Is Max back this week to play or just to train?

Apparently, back this week along with Luke Gale, KT, Jai, Ashurst and Liam Kay.

Must be to play, he's been around the lads the last few weeks when they have been warming up so suspect he has been training. Not sure an away trip to Catalan is the best game to ease him back in mind!

If he does play, I hope Dagger keeps a place in the team, whether centre or wing.
He's been the strongest 3/4 for weeks.

If Max fit ,I think Dagger will play on the wing. Get Kaye on other wing and the 1 to 5 should be far better than recently

I don't disagree but to be honest I've been ok with Lineham recently. He has taken the high balls when under pressure and makes good ground off the line.

What about leaving dagger there and moving max to 6 see if we can get this line moving a bit quicker

My thoughts too Mopsey,
Leave Dagger where he is and play Jowitt at 6 with maybe Gale at 7, that’ll focus a few minds and might be the best half back pairing at the club

Max to 6 is a good call. However Mr carter will need to justify giving Lino a 3 year deal and signing Gale on 2 years ,for that reason my money is on that pairing.

I recall back in late 70s early 80s we had a scrum half very much like Lino and we moved him to loose forward and he was sensational. Mike Lampkowski.

Think Lampy had a bit more bulk than Lino, but as you say, a legend. Would have put his heart on the line for Trin.

Indeed. Lampy was built like a little truck.
And it was also in the days when 13 was a ball handler not another prop.

In the modern game Lampy would be a world class hooker.

Used to love Lampy. Like a young bull was an oft used description. Him and Graham Idle had a sublime run around move straight off the scrum.
Believe he had pioneering surgery on his knee that got him over one lay off but his style was both his greatest strength and ultimately his downfall. I recall reading at the time that he or the club had difficulty getting insurance for him.

His surgery was so advanced that they interviewed him on Tomorrow's World.

Toppo and Lamb Chops, the sword and the rapier. If only….!
