I quite happy to give Naughton or Lancaster a chance, both have more potential than Lineham.

Think we may have been watching a different Lineham over the last few years.

Fonua is being brought to play wing outside carlos as far as I know.

I give up trying to make sense of it. Radford seems to think they are all the same position anyway.

I was reading about Ballin at Manly. Do you reckon they'd pay us to take him off their books?

Wouldn't be a bad shout, and could be very destructive from what I've seen on Tube?

People mention LR trying to replicate 'that Bradford team'..... I may be wrong but didn't at one point have Vaikona and Vanikolo at wing and centre? They did alright....or was they both wingers - can't remember.

Anyway if these two can even get close to them, then could be great signings.

I feel pretty positive about them to be honest.

The only question for me is has LR got the game plan to make best use of them?

If these are our backs at our club next season
Shaul
Naughton
Talanoa
Fonua
Yeaman
Carlos
Logan
Micheals
Lancaster
I'd go for as follows if I have the new signings in correct positions
Shaul
Talanoa
Carlos
Fonua
Micheals
If fonua is a winger , looks like talanoa centre which I don't like .

Can't believe we would evcen consider signing paterson. Utter garbge. I'd rather platy washbrook, whiting and hadley before him. Can't tackle and goes missing

Yes but not sure if the tweet meant he has gone now.

With all due respect Dave, Lineham has far more in his locker than Naughton and Lancaster have shown so far.
