Can imagine they've offered him a pay rise as well.
Joel Monaghan wont have come cheap, so Lineham will be offered more salary than he was on at Hull, I assume.
My concern is a lot of quality is leaving the club in Rankin, Paea and Lineham and so far we have no announcement as to who are replacing them. It reminds of when Manu and Briscoe and Moa went but the replacements were not even close to the quality we lost.

Probably does, but I reckon the club will be pretty pro-active now, after the marquee rule been approved. Can see a couple of big signings, so I'm not worried yet!

Lets wait & see, when the jigsaw is completed...
Motu Tony has recruited better players than McRae - IMO..
By the sound of it we are losing money so I wouldn't expect marquee player's at all. Has beings yes as always. Maybe he thinks the teams good enough without them

Well, Rankin's not been announced as leaving. Taylor, of course, has. Ellis replaced Manu. But apart from that, spot on.
Do you believe the club will not recruit any quality? I think we will have some good players coming in. Announcing signings early is, of course, selling the fans short.

There's still 4 months of this season yet to play, why would the club announce all their signings now?
This deal was done months ago and I did bring it up and was shouted down..........
Do not start blaming those who do no longer come to FC, those who are in charge are still to blame for what has gone before and what is to come. He was SOLD to Wire and he may have company in the taxi over to Cheshire, the club can put on what ever spin it likes.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;
