Keith Mason was a kid with a future. I can’t see Saints snapping up Kyle can you? Still anything is possible.

Didn't see the first Wales game, but I was quite impressed with KE in the Tonga game. Hope we keep him on the books.

There is plenty of talk down Saints way that they are biding their time till Murphy comes off contract at the end of next season. If so Evans would be suited for a one year contract to give them wing cover.

i am hoping we pee on their parade and tie up murphy.

Not everyone has your affiliation with the club which they don’t want to upset or no more invites to meetings. I suppose you consider Lineham to be a shrewd signing by the club and you will look forward to his return to the Wakefield team, this is based on your rule that all players signed deserve our full support. I know you make exception for coaches.

Right now he's contracted as contracts as far as I know run to December. Which is why he's called a Trinity player in the World Cup.

Personally I'd offer him a new one. I liked him when I saw him last season and he did ore than OK in the World Cup game.

Other clubs have been able to talk to him since May I think so I don't see it being a new problem for us.

It’s not a problem, trinity can easily afford it but again we have 4/5 wingers signed up already.

You’d really sign a sixth up when we clearly need quality and depth in other areas?

He’s only played 3 games considered the highest level and the rest against young and fringe players.

Trinity need to be sensible with their money available and invest in the areas we need.

1st November the contract generally run to I think.

That’s what I believe to be right too.

Players generall come back in for pre season early November.

Fair point. I'll take your opinion over mine.

The lad has turned out to be a very good signing, why wouldn't we want to keep him?He might be 32,but he looks as fresh as a daisy! I appreciate that players ages are important in our ongoing recruitment strategy, but considering the importance of next season,IMO the here and now takes precedence at this moment in time.Don't agree we have plenty of wing cover,I certainly wouldn't play Lineham there again.

Sorry but what? You literally don’t agree with have plenty of wing cover despite having 5 wingers on the books for 2023? Exactly how many wingers do you think is adequate cover? 7?10? Wingers maybe.

So he takes precedence over Murphy, Taufua and Kershaw along with possibly Kay who’s scored more try’s almost than Evans has had training sessions in his league career?

I like Evans and he’s done well. If we signed him I’d be happy but he’s been made out to be some sort of necessary signing who’s a must sign. I just don’t get it.

He isn’t necessery as the squad is. He would be 4/5th choice most likely.

If your argument is he solely he offers more than limeham who is likely to be our 4/5th choice winger I’m afraid I don’t stand with you on that.

Would I prefer Evans to Lineham? Yes I would probably. But you can’t just rip up a guys contract. It’s not his fault we are in this position. If and I mean if Mash wants Evans then he may explore options such as sending Lineham out on loan season long. But I’d guess that the focus is on other areas of the squad such as forwards and perhaps a centre/fullback cover.

Just to add to the above. Although Lineham didn’t have a good 2022 if he does pull the shirt on again I’ll be cheering him on. I think there were some circumstances which contributed to Linehams below average form. We may see a different player under Apelgarth.

What a ridiculous, over the top post Trojan Horse,shame,you are usually a reasonable poster.
You are seeing things in my post that aren't there; never said he'd take preference over Murphy,Kershaw and Taufua,but I think he would be in competition with them.As I understand it, we have the 3 wingers mentioned, plus Kay and Lineham.Kay is regarded more of a 9 these days and the last time I saw him on the wing he looked average at best IMO. Lineham? I think his SL wing days are gone.So I reckon 3 wingers,4 at a pinch!
Everybody knows you can't just rip up Linehams contract, why mention that? (your not his agent by any chance?)
Just to reiterate my last post....IMO Kyle Evans has gone well for us since we signed him and I think he warrants another contract.He brings cover and competition to the wing spots, and he might,just might, prove useful in covering other positions in the back line.
