Baptiste plays for PNG so I would imagine he is covered under the Kolpack ruling?

No Baptiste is Australian, the only reason he can play for PNG is because his dad was born there.
I'd be more than happy with Baptiste hit's like a truck in defence, accelerates quickly from a dead stop, Great passing game and really picks his passes creating Gaps. 9 or 13 he'd be great for us

What I don't understand with Lineham is when we signed him he played on the right wing. This was a replacement for Joel. He now plays on the left wing.

I completely missed that, yeah good spot. Get Lineham on the outside of someone like Goodwin and he'd rack up alot of tries next season

Lineham on the let wing is a fairly recent thing, only happened this year. http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/new ... s/?ref=arc

Wigan’s back up wingers would be automatic staters in our team.

Rumours gathering pace on twitter about Charnley as Sale have signed a new winger.

Re: Rumours : Sun Oct 29, 2017 8:40 pm  

Whilst I think Charnley would readjust quickly to RL, I’m not sure about having to use the other marquee spot in order to match his salary at Sale. He’s good, but not that good. If he can work for less than £175k then great. He’s a wonderful finisher.

Agree, he's not worth marquee money, hard to imagine any winger would be. Also, he used to have the worst haircut in RL - baton passed to George Williams - has this improved?

Because Tony Smith had his favorites. He knew Russell wasn't/isn't good enough but to save face he forced him into the team by moving Lineham to the left. Lineham's best moments in a Wire shirt have come from the few times he's played on the right. Hull FC away last year as one example. I could be wrong but it may come down to the fact that when he plays on the right he has a centre who is willing to pass him the ball.

That was my biggest problem with Charnley when he was at Wigan. He looks like a Chav. With Sims now gone, the team's whole hair care budget should be focussed on Charnley (assuming we can entice him from Sale).
