have a look at a certain Mr Martin Offiah's defensive record, still one of the best wingers ever. Tom is a HUGE loss to the club, not sure he's gone anywhere better looking at Warrington this season, but he fell out with Radford in March and was never going to stay.

Game has changed since Offiah's days and a winger has to be an around player, rather than just score trys. Lineham is a loss, certainly not a huge loss, no were near in the class of Briscoe.

Well I'm sorry to see him go. He's a good player already and there's still room for improvement. However given his injury record I can see the thinking behind cashing in on him now - though its not a decision I agree with and if he stays healthy for a few years it will look rather foolish.

It was his choice wasn't it?

Yep. He wanted to go and we managed to get a fee from it, that's all anyone knows on here.

Pretty gutted he's going though, he's scoring record this year has been fantastic after an injury hit 2014. Positionally he has to and will improve, but I'd struggle to pick out many other weak areas of his game.

Think Fonua will score equally as many tries given the same room. Fonua will be better in defence and will be far more destructive In his returns. Plus we got good money and this is his 1st full season ever. I'm fine with it given we'll have binman Fonua Naughton and lancaster as wing options

Fonua will play centre not wing
Our wing options for next season are poor and Lineham will be missed.
Naughton will never make a good winger.he is too small and lightweight.Dont think he will stay around too long anyway as his appearances will be limited to other player injuries.
Lancaster unknown but again small and lightweight and would be peppered with high kicks from the opposition
Michaels probably the best of what we have at this level.
Talanoa is OK carries the ball strongly as we know but is no speed merchant and may end up as a centre once again
Total imbalance between forwards and backs for next season.

Burgess at Wigan isn't exactly big is he.....end of the day,Lineham wanted to clear off and not see out his contract,so let him go.He scored 16 pts for us yesterday but cost us 10.

Another good player peed off by Radford
Burgess is 6ft 3 and 15 stone how big do you want him to be.
only 20 with a large frame to develop but real speed,presence,athleticism and try scoring ability.

Wingers don't look great next season, I'd go with Talanoa and Michaels on the wings but no real speed from either.
As for Talanoa at centre. He's not any better then Yeamo there. Another who struggles to pass and doesn't look comfortable there. Play him on the wing or don't play him at all.

Shaul
Talanoa
Fonua
Tuimavave/Logan
Michaels

That's what I'd go with. Naughton can back up fullback and wing.

I'd expect that to be our 1-5, Logan likely to be nipping at the heels of the other two centres. Agree about Talanoa, did ok filling in at centre for a while but is best to be on the wing only
