After the try was scored Pryce has a right go at him in the background but as for the opportunity we created the pass from Rankin was awful he did it again a few minutes later on the other wing we created an overlap and Rankin's pass went a mile forward to Talanoa

He didn't have a great game but not sure it was bad enough to warrant it's own thread. He does have a tendency to jam in towards his centre which needs work - he's only about a foot too far in for both tries but it's enough to create the scoring opportunity. Put plenty of effort in to try and stop Sio so not sure there's any evidence of his heart not being in it or his head being elsewhere.

Fairly sure that if there weren't the Wire rumours surrounding him nobody would have bothered to create a thread about his performance.

Bit unfair this thread, I don't there is ever a doubt he puts anything but 100% into his game, got caught out for the first try and didn't really get the ball at all and Hull targeted their left which worked a treat.

If Warrington offer money for him over 6 figures I would sell him, I don't any winger in SL is worth that amount and he could be replaced without too much fuss.

Agree even with a great win theres sum who still got to have a dig

Defensively suspect but got virtually no ball. Thread unwarranted.

To be fair, he spent most of his first full season making up for Ben Crooks' deficiencies. Maybe trusting his centre doesn't come easy now.

Tom Lineham is an outstanding young player. He's still learning the game.

Please don't think he's the finished article. He has a few things to work on and that is why he's so highly rated by his peers, because he has so few things that he has to work on for a young player.
Granted his line defence and positional defence are 2 areas he has to work on, but he's not going to fix it overnight. He has to work on it and he'll get it right with time.

Lineham is a force for us and a player our opposition fear.

Radford knows very well his deficiencies and will get him right. Not only that, did you see the bollocking he got from Pryce after his Mantellano miss ? I tell you, a bollocking like that on the pitch from a champion SL player will speed up the learning process.
Just stay with him people and back him. He's ours, lets enjoy him and support him.

He went off injured didn't he? Dud Radford mention anything about the injury?

Naughton back or a chance for Lancaster?

looked winded to me

took a hit in the last two minutes

Looked ok eating that bag of food.

You had a complete mismatch on the other wing and went there all match. If Lineham had seen much of the ball there would have been a thread about how rubbish either Houghton, Sneyd or noth were for not targetting the big man on little man on the other side.

There isn;t a winger in the comp who doesn't get sucked in once in a while and hit with the cut out.

True, it can be a fine line between hero and villain for a winger

interesting that Wells on Sky kind of defended him for the first try.

He looked to be going for the interception but it was very tight anyway, so perhaps he shouldn't have, but hey, happens and we won anyway.

Disagree on the latter point, I thought it was a pass thrown too wildly without looking properly. A lovely pass goes to the man, not where you're guessing the man might be.
