He kicked it dead once, ran out of the line and missed a crucial tackle on Tyrone May which led directly to a try and generally failed to impress one little bit...why do we want this guy ??

Where that would leave Mason Lino if it happened I don't know.Lino divides opinion,and although he can win MOTM in some games he can be very poor in others,IMO.
Another player who we are strongly linked with and who gives me more cause for concern is Matty Storton.I have watched nearly all the KR matches and he usually comes off the Bench,for what seems quite short periods,and doesn't get that much involved,from what I can see.He will of course get my full backing if he's signed up,as does any player.
