Still can't keep track of his passport though, at least he got home this time
Reece Lyne has got everything you need to be a top player. Size, speed, strength, defence. He just hasn't Brought it all together at the same time. If he could, we'd have a cracking player.

He's been pretty consistent this season but, he suffers from having been brought in by Agar, which many fans believe makes him a poor player.

I know what you're saying, but what I mean is that he has the ability to be more than just consistent. If he pulled it all together he'd be a stand out player for us.
One stat I would be interested in how many games this season have we won with Hall in the team and how many without him. I think if he leaves it would be to the detriment of the team because he is our most creactive centre who possesses a ball handling capability and speed. If you compare his games in the centre to our other incumbents I believe you will find that the stats will show him to be the better than the rest. He can miss tackles but so can our other centres, the problem is usually one more attacker compared to our defenders. I also believe he has helped Johnson to produce his best performances. RL is not a game of robots every team needs a player like Hall

your last line is 100% correct, all top teams need a player who can conjure something out of nothing, it is what sets them apart from the others.

I'd like the stats for how many times when playing at centre he's passed it behind his winger and into touch. I don't see this creative centre who others seem to. I see a weak defender and yet another non passing centre who can occasionally be entertaining in broken play and off the cuff.
I differ from most because I actually rated him to start with but now I'm not that bothered, we can do better.
That said if by some miracle we get to Wembley I'd deffo play him as they are the sort of games players like him tend to shine in.
I think it was possibly Arundal who against Catalan passed it into touch, I believe he has been guilty of this on several occasions. This is not something Toupou is guilty of because he seldom passes which is a pre requisite of a centre. We could look at another stat if anybody knows how many try assists between the 4 centres.

I think it was Jowett who past it behind Lynne and in front of Arundel
