Anyone know what's going on, is he injured or has Mash had enough of him ?

He's just not in the starting 17.

Agree, there doesn’t have to be anything going on. I just think Taufua and Kershaw offer more and so probably does Mash.

If needed he will be back in.

He's not even in the initial 21 either.
Well I think Mash gets some undue stick on here, but surely no one can blame him for doing that

Yep...fairly sure that Mash said the other week that Kershaw was chomping at the bit to get in and has obviously done enough to retain his place

I like Kershaw a lot. I was majorly critical of him and his mistakes when he first broke through but he’s improved on that front and grown on me and is a good winger.

Unfortunately I don’t think he cuts the mustard at SL level anymore. He’s too slow and lumbersome and just get found out defensively time after time. Shocked at how easily he was drilled back too when he was carrying it in too.

Does seem a bit strange he's not even making the 21 man squad now ahead of lads like Pratt & Butterworth who were always going to play reserves this week. Maybe we are trying to freeze him out to try and get him to leave?

Ask FIL, he's his new agent.

Now, there's a thought....


Stick Mash out on the wing......

I've read an interview somewhere this week that Lineham had a job interview outside the sport. Not sure how true it is or if it's just another wind up.

Yes, I can exclusively reveal that he is about to open a shop in Trinity Walk..............selling sheepskin coats
