Heard Lineham is wanting a pay off from the club

Wasn’t there the comment from him in pre-season where he said in a roundabout way during an interview that he’d only go if he got a full pay out. Something like it’s pay me out or a new stand or words to that effect. Makes me think he won’t go for less than his full contract worth and i doubt we could afford that in one go.

I just wonder whether Senior may be a longer term replacement with hopefully both ….

Lineham being loaned out for the rest of the season to a lower Championship/League One team and…
Taufua deciding to call it a day (like Justin Horo did a few years ago) realising that he is spent and his playing days are over….

Taufua reminds me of Anthony Tupou in that serious injuries and the rigours of playing rugby (with no respect for your own safety) have caught up with him. Really hope I’m wrong though….

All would be lovely but going by the Huddersfield comments on the loan it strikes me as Senior is very much in their plans and just needs match fitness. As for Lineham you can’t force a player to go on loan and sadly he strikes as a guy who will happily sit back and collect his cash playing or not . As for Taufua why would he walk? It’s probably his last full time gig as a player and the money that brings. He won’t walk away from that i wouldn’t have thought.

It's true he did but it cost us, he didn't go for free.

He did but we still paid out the remainder of his contact, not a huge amount but he didn’t just walk away, would you?

Of course he will and he’s within his rights technically. He won’t leave for nothing they never do.

Nor would anyone on here.

Its hard to knock the wingers this season IMO-can't remember either of them allowed to show what they can do, our attack is so woeful. so that's leaves us to judge which one runs the ball in better and Kershaw is outstanding, as I'm sure he's be if he was given the ball with half a chance of a break.
As for Tafua he's been pretty ordinary but is no speed merchant, so for speed alone I'd play Senior in front of him.
The Lineham situation is an enigma-are the reserves playing games - if so is he playing at all?
