Because Kershaw played better. Do you disagree?

Because Kershaw and Taufua are ahead of him.

I don’t see why it’s so hard to work it out. It’s pretty self explanatory.

If we had only Lineham and Kershaw available and he wasn’t being picked then I would be intrigued.

I thought he went okay/solid early doors but Kershaw and Taufua offer more in yardage coming off our line and are in better form.

I’m happy if he’s needed he’s there and will get his chance. It’s a long season.

No but Kershaw was my first choice all along, Lineham isn’t fit to lace Kershaw boots.

How long do you have PT?

The problem is why has Lineham been dropped, is it because he’s crap or some other reason?

I don't think anyone is questioning why Lineham isn't getting picked in the 17, i think everyone gets that Kershaw & Taufua are now rightly ahead of him. I think it's more the case that we are down on troops and he isn't even getting a spot in the 21. He seems to have gone from a first choice winger to behind kids like Olly Pratt in the space of two games with no mention. Thats no slight on Olly Pratt btw who is a very promising three-quarter but it seems a rather rapid fall from grace for a senior player.

Which is what I was clumsily trying to say.

Because you only need two wingers in the 19?

You only need two centres as well but there's four in the squad.
