I quite happy to give Naughton or Lancaster a chance, both have more potential than Lineham.
Think we may have been watching a different Lineham over the last few years.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Wouldn't be a bad shout, and could be very destructive from what I've seen on Tube?
People mention LR trying to replicate 'that Bradford team'..... I may be wrong but didn't at one point have Vaikona and Vanikolo at wing and centre? They did alright....or was they both wingers - can't remember.
Anyway if these two can even get close to them, then could be great signings.
I feel pretty positive about them to be honest.
The only question for me is has LR got the game plan to make best use of them?
If it makes you happy it can't be that bad - Sheryl Crow 1996.
If these are our backs at our club next season Shaul Naughton Talanoa Fonua Yeaman Carlos Logan Micheals Lancaster I'd go for as follows if I have the new signings in correct positions Shaul Talanoa Carlos Fonua Micheals If fonua is a winger , looks like talanoa centre which I don't like .
Can't believe we would evcen consider signing paterson. Utter garbge. I'd rather platy washbrook, whiting and hadley before him. Can't tackle and goes missing

With all due respect Dave, Lineham has far more in his locker than Naughton and Lancaster have shown so far.
