Spot on for me, on both counts.

It's clear Mason is recovering from injury was upbeat with fans at Halifax. If WP is not happy playing players not 100% then he gets my vote. Last night's effort although a loss did much more for club and it's wider squad with a lot of local lads giving it a good go. I thought Batch at centre was very good playing out of position. Our halves held their own and more and the pack gave it a good go. Some poor plays and poor decisions aside by the team and ref we could have seen a different result. Oh and Corey Hall that kid has got class written all over him 19 years of age what a prospect

Well I certainly hope that whatever the issue is with Lino, that we get him out there asap.

On Miller, we have to accept that he is probably past his best. His passing game is very predictable, and offers little creativity as a halfback.
In his defence, as has been said he gives his all and puts his body on the line week in and week out. I would like to see him have a go at hooker.
But in the halves I think both Gaskell and Walker offer more.

For heavens sake what issue with Lino? An issue made up exclusively on here by renowned trouble makers.

The only ‘issue’ as far as I can see is that he’s injured as per what the Coach keeps saying. Who do you want to believe?

Wow

Why on earth would Poaching not select our most creative player.
Do you think that "the bloke in the pub" may have got this one wrong ?

Which local was that, if you don't mind me asking.

He really expects you to believe him even though his story keeps changing. Originally it was someone connected with the club high up, now it’s half the team in the pub later in the evening, laughable rubbish.

It’s years since I’ve seen players out on the lash after a game.

Not many locals these days so should be a short list.

My guess would be the Graziers on Donny road

Please get your facts right it was last Sunday evening when Mason said what he did and there were several other players plus Kyle Wood there. It was a week later on Friday morning when I spoke to the former player in town. I asked him if he new anything regarding Mason and he said he was in the squad but he had an inkling he would drop out on Friday. So there you have it and as I said before I don't make things up and I don't tell lies but if you don't want to believe me that's your prerogative but I honestly tell you that's what happened. I'll still be at St.Helens Friday

The problem is you are linking things that might not be linked.
Willie had already said he wasn't ready, as you back up by saying Lino wasn't happy that he wouldn't play him yet.

If Lino isn't happy that Poaching won't play him yet, doesn't that imply he wants to play?

Why does an ex player know what Willie is thinking? All it means is he heard he's still not playing. Doesn't mean Lino is sulking and dropping out.

Credibility is reduced when the conversation is overheard in a pub.

You may be right about it all, but I would need more evidence to believe it.

Dont know if mason is unhappy or not not heard owt till reading on here but if it where to be true i wouldnt want him to play anyway.what i have read on facebook and im certainly not saying this is true is that toulouse want him

Think it is about time the club came on and put this to bed one way or the other . The subject is J Miller but most of the post are about Lino .Maybe fans will think it's a over reactions ,but when Lino comes back and started slow fans could think he wants away. Would protect both parties

Back to Miller, we looked more threatening with Walker and Bowes in the halves than he has in the past two/three years.

My only observation was why did he not return home during the off season I doubt we hid his passport.

Personally I have never rated Miller a very average overseas player an example of what is wrong in SL
He would struggle to play reserve grade back home.
Walker and Bowes offered more last night than I have seen from Miller in 2-3 seasons
As for him been captain the mind boggles
