I was told it too but I'm not saying anything.

That’s it. Most SL and NRL wingers can do both - the lads who can do one or the other really well play in the Championship. Look across the top English wingers - Marshall, Johnstone, Makinson, Swift, Ashton - and they all make huge metres out their own end, and can pull off finishes with hardly any space. 

It’s clear the reason we signed Walmsley on a short contract was to see if he could stack on some muscle and improve the physical side of his game. And in fairness, he really has. He’s making far more metres now than he was at the beginning of the season, and you can see he’s been working on finding his front instead of battling. As someone with firsthand experience of this, if you’re lanky with exposed ribs and long levers you’re very easy to whack and get driven back. 


We all know if Walmsley was British or French, he’d be staying. But if we can use his quota spot to sign someone else of Tyson Smoothy’s quality, and either sign a top winger or get Tchamambe ready, then we should.

Powelly will do what needs to be done for the best.
No sentiment I'm afraid in sport.

I suppose the one thing in Walmsley's favour is the proposal that Australians/NZ/Islanders that have been over here for 5(?) seasons will no longer count on the quota. If that goes through then suddenly his options open up.

He will and I trust his judgement.
If we lose Walmsley- and DP has said, I believe, nothing is decided yet- then so be it. 
It happened to Luke Bain and the young second rower T ? Who went to Featherstone. Part of my original point was really how far we have come on as a club that we can let such players go!

I’m not sure who we are looking at or keeping who we see as players that can take us to the top 4/6 in the upcoming years. Powell apparently spoke really highly of Lino at the forum, which to me Shows he sees Lino as our 7. I have been critical of Lino’s inconsistency, though I understand there are obviously factors into why. 

If Powell and Mills see Lino as our 7 for the future then all you can do is support him. The catalyst for me is keeping Trueman on the field to partner him. We are simply a different machine when he’s playing. Though he is a 6, he looks like the dominant half who completely stabilises our whole attack. I just hope we can keep him on the field as when hes fit he’ll be pushing for England honours.
