happyjack:Trojan Horse:
Now the 21 has been released. Vagana returns is a boost.
I would make a few tweaks but not too many:
Roarke
Russell
Scott
Pratt
Johnstone
Trueman
Lino
Mckmeeken
Hood
Atoni
Vagana
Croft/ Griffin
Pitts
Smith
Uele
Rodwell
Faatilli
Only tough choice was Croft/Griffin but we need more minutes from our second row. I would consider spelling Pitts there if needed with Rodwell or Mckmeeken going 13.
Lino just about keeps his place but he needs to have a good game with Trueman this week with no errors like kicking into touch.
That team looks strong and can certainly do the business. The forwards like KR will need to dominate down the middle vs Leigh.
On what basis does Lino just about keeps his place ?, he's had a good game every time he's played with Trueman, he made one error with ONE kick and has been slaughtered for it and on the other hand Trueman's stand in hardly set the game alight did he, had even a bit of luck gone our way you'd have to be looking to find something else to have a side swipe at Lino, and fwiw please give me some indication where no other player has not made any errors, thanks in anticipation.
You really took the Lino comment and run a marathon with it didn’t you.
It’s my opinion, you don’t need to share it.
I think you’ll find I have early season praised Lino for going better than I expected.
Nobody has said he doesn’t go well with Truman.
As for having a good game every one he’s played. IMO he was better first few games but last few he’s not been as effective, especially in last tackle plays. That kick out on the full vs Hull was at a key time and costly. Second time I think this season.
I am not saying he is playing bad, I even still have him the nod in the team did I not? What I am pondering is if Russell could offer more given the opportunity with Truman. The last tackle plays especially have not been up to scratch imho. All 3 need to take accountability.
I get Lino has his fan club but for me he started very well but I think he’s been less effective last few games and I would like to see more from him.
I felt the last 2 games especially vs Hudds and Hull the way we have finished sets hasn’t been good enough. The answer may or may not lay with Lino. I’m not sure at this point in time.
And no I wouldn’t just randomly have a swipe at Lino.
Why would I bother going on about other players making errors when that’s not the only reason for my thinking as stated above.
Not sure why the big reaction. I still put him in the line up I’d like to see this weekend.
