All this talk about Lino not being up to standard surely the coaches must have seen this & take some of the blame for this season especially. Powell was one of the best halfbacks in Britain why hasn't he taken Lino aside & give him some pointers & if he has why isn't Lino listening to him to me that's a coach. We should have seen some improvement in his game this season.

There’s no blame to take. In the championship Lino is one of the best halfbacks and will be good at this level. The discussion is more about 2025 and superleague. There’s nobody to blame, Lino tries his best and is perfectly fine at this level.

His double pump doesn’t always work even with Griffin. It does sometimes but others it’s been too late and Griffin hasn’t taken it in or been caught with the ball. It does occasionally work.

At the bulls game he wasn’t on the side he regularly plays on. He was on the left and seemed to enjoy some success there as opposed to the right where moves regularly break down.

He proved he can do it but when i say few I’m being quite generous as it’s a handful of games over a couple of years. He’s more often proved that he struggles to initiate or control plays.

He’s with us though so hopefully we see more of his better performances. He’d be our best option now if he was fit.

All I read there is that Lino is capable but others aren't able to keep up.
If it sometimes works then it works.

It's pretty clear to see the effect of not having him in the team.

Homme Vaste sure is hunting him down a fair bit on here!

Luckily I'm not too fussed so we are all good.

If you're anything like your avatar I'd lay off the Bounties for a while.

I'm liking Russell so far in 7 shirt for a change.

Corey Hall had a pretty good game for Cas also in right centre. Could form a good partnership with a try scorer like Walmsley outside him.

Apart from the try Giants scored off his kick.
And we don't need a take the line on guy. He ran to the line and put passes out long and short.
Lolohia and Connor did a lot of the kicking.deep
And he tackled everything they threw at him.

I think he'll be great with Trueman.
But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

You are entitled to your opinion but me and Daryl think otherwise.
