He's a good finisher, quicker than he looks over distance and brings the ball out very well. As others have mentioned his disciplinary record for a winger is shocking and means he misses a fair few games each year for incidents that were unnecessary. He's scored plenty of tries for us and has been our highest scoring winger, but benefits greatly from playing on our left alongside Widdop, Currie & King for both his try scoring opportunities and defensively.
Charnley doesn't get the service Lineham gets and I think the lack of tries he's scored in the past 12 - 18 months has knocked his confidence. Defensively he's making some poor reads at times, but I think playing outside Mamo & Austin doesn't help him in that regard. He also has an infuriating habit of playing for a penalty by trapping in defenders, which rarely works anymore and only serves to slow our ruck speed - something the fans get pretty frustrated about.
Lineham has certainly looked the better winger over the past 2 years, but I question whether that would be the same had they played on different sides.
