Re: Tom Lineham : Tue Mar 29, 2016 1:21 pm  
I don't think were facing trouble. He looks a couple of weeks out of shape and it's telling in his all round game IMO.....

On a positive thought, I remember when I first saw Hicks with a beer belly, out on the town with Micky Monas before our season started thinking why have we signed him.

Are you Mrs Lineham?

He's not a scape goat, but I think is fair to say his finishing on at least one of his efforts could have had a greater bearing on the result.
I think he will be a menace the nearest winger we've had to Meninga in scope, he just looks behind where he ought to be at this stage.

People are entitled to an opinion particularly when there's a fee attached and therefore it's difficult to temper expectations.

IMO not everything can be attributed to scapegoating. He's a professional, presumably a highly paid one in the terms of our sport and he surely has a duty to work on the weaker parts of his game, not just for us the paying customer, but, also for self improvement, if it can be done without weakening the stronger parts of his game.

What is telling is that the Hull FC speccies called it and so did their coach.

I don't care what he is as long he is faster than the last bloke in that position, if he has to train harder then so be it. If he has to be the scapegoat for a period then so be it. For the money paid his scapegoatness must be short lived or else!!

Incidentally I think the usual scapegoat Ryan Atkins has been pretty decent in the last two games.

Why did we sign Lineham? To score tries. He is scoring at rate of one a game. That will do me.

Yes that's it, score a hat trick at home to HKR, bomb a chance or two at FC away it's evens-Steven's.

TANCW you've got to want more than that, I do perhaps unreasonably so. Or are you saying that he couldn't/shouldn't do more as in any event it's all simply about number crunching averaged out over a season, a profit and loss account?

Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.

Re: Tom Lineham : Tue Mar 29, 2016 5:28 pm  
Unbelievable Jeff.

We've bought a player to do a job....score tries. He's doing it, and still some bleat.
He's scoring at a rate of one per game. Pretty impressive, but not enough for some.
He's not had the mickey took out of him, by the opposition's winger, but faults are being found.
The dimensions of his Aris are being brought into doubt. Tell you what. Remember the early days of SL, when certain try scorers had their own songs when they scored. Perhaps we should use The Devine Comedy's "National Express" for the line "but it's hard to get by, when you're ar5e is the size of a small country" whenever he goes over the whitewash.

It's almost like winning one of those 80's competitions WIN A DATE WITH A PAGE 3 GIRL/ MISS GB. You greet her with a kiss on the cheek, only to tell her a couple of seconds later that you don't like the way she's done her hair.

For the record, my only gripe with Lineham is the money we've spent on him, but it's not my dosh, it's Moran's.

Some people on here would whinge if they'd won a triple rollover jackpot on the lottery, only to be told that they had to share it with one other punter.

I know, let's swapping with Patrick Ah Verage at the Smellies
