"Obviously, we get away and he gets pulled back for a foul past an hour." If you watch the interview with Powell he actually says " He gets pulled back for a forward pass to Noah" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEioUq0fy9M

I see Superleague socials have posted tagging Leeds Rhinos twice promoting a couple of their players over past few days. The game which was ultimately close. You wouldn’t think it had two teams playing. Sivo amazing run shown yet Booth who actually scored and had the legs isn’t. Honestly the coverage and promotion is so far pitched towards teams like Leeds etc it’s annoying. If it was a professional governing body it would have equal coverage of reels from games where appropriate and w gagenent for all 12 teams. It’s so incredibly poor. I hope we pan Leeds in round 1.

[quote="Trojan Horse":2ghlfzug]Strange reasoning there. You want to not play an experienced 9, replace him with an inexperienced 9 who wants to be a 7 and play a player at 7 who struggled in Superleague last time he played there. That just doesn’t add up to me. The issue with Hood imho isn’t that he isn’t good enough for SL but that he wasn’t managed properly. He was slogged on the pitch for 60/65 minutes a game. Too long imho. He needs to be spelled better in SL this time round. His defence is very good and his distribution is fine, he’s a danger on the opposition line too as he’s quite strong. What he is, is a solid 9 who this season will help us transition and play his part well enough and also allow Doyle and Smith to grow their game this season.[/quote:2ghlfzug] Although am not a Lino fan think there is a real possibility that he could be used on the bench, my thinking being that Russel has played a fair bit at hooker for Huddersfield and Lino would give us an option either replacing Russel or hood , personally don’t think smith is any way close to sl this season even though I think he has bags of potential

I’m not a Lino fan but for me if he plays then it will be as starting halfback. We have 3 halfbacks and Lawford/Max if needed so if one isn’t performing then it gives opportunity to another. I think we will at stages see them all play.
