Or maybe it's a case of 'Mrs Slocombe's Pussy' and we are missing the point ?

I think TS is making an example of Lineham, drop below the standard of play and professionalism of what is expected of you and it doesn't matter what your name is or how much you came for you will end up playing second grade rugby

I think it sends out a message to all the players as to what is expected from them this year and TS looks as though he is prepared to play hard ball to get what he demands

If the whole out drinking story is true them this can only be a good thing.

I like him he scores tries, all players can make mistakes and have room for improvement. I think he has been unfairly singled out against most with a price tag are.

He is a great prospect. Could do with working on his agility which I'm.sure he is but the signs of that won't jyst appear over night. Just wondering how many try he has scored??

If the drinking with Bailey story is true I'm glad he's making this stand with Lineham. One of the first things Smith did when he took over was Oust Martin Gleeson another who liked the sauce..

I understand that Lineham will not be playing against Widnes either. Still on the naughty step or is he still running round Victoria Park?

Meh, Its hardly a significant sum for us, use it wisely.

Newt new ..Tony did it with Lee Briers and it did him the world of good.

Let him sort his head out, give him a few sessions in the gym to look like a player rather than a Kardashian and we'll be fine.

I would expect the second option. He didn't get a glowing recommendation for his effort against Saints reserves the other day. He seems a young man with a few demons, house sharing with Tony Smith's true mistake can't be helping if true.
