Lyne was physically mature from quite a young age and so he always stood out when at younger levels. I think that he struggled more once the rest of the players caught up with him physically.

He's a good athlete - very fast, well built, and has all the physical attributes - but I don't know if he has the 'rugby brain' needed to succeed at this level. He also hasn't outwardly appeared motivated during his appearances for us.

He always appeared to be a favourite of Agar's so I imagine that he'll get a fair go if either Cockayne or Fox are injured, but I'm not expecting much from him if I'm honest.

That same rugby brain that decided to kick ahead in the dying seconds when cornered against Crusaders on the touchline and run into the Cru players basically winning us a soft penalty for Ticks to convert & win us the game. As a winger you're not been asked to have the speed of thought/brain as a half, certainly he's no fullback.
I just don't think he's had the opportunity to develop, certainly not under Agar anyways. Needed to be loaned out somewhere to hone his talents instead of rotting in the 20s.
Hope the lad does well.

I hope he does well too however been watching the game too many years to know a good winger from a bang average one , would love to see him do well but unfortunately apart from the fact he is unlikely to get any taller or stronger now i think he will struggle to come to much , would say he has possibly peaked already ??? lets hope he proves me wrong

Is Mathers still at Wakey next year ?

Maybe Cockend will move to full back
