I don't think Taufua has done anything so far to put him above Evans.

I'd rather Kay be a hooker and Lineham go away somehow and Evans stays.

Dont understand the debate myself hes for me better than lineham and kershaw and his performance last night proved it.at vey least for me 3rd choice winger behind murphy and jorge (based on rep only)

I don’t think equally Evans has done anything to put him above Taufua either.



It’s not a wazzing contest between these players. They both have value.



Taufua has the pedigree with 180 NRL games and 88 try’s. Also he looked good in the game and a half we had. Looking forward to seeing him play tbh.



It’s not a Evans vs the rest of our wingers issue. The issue is we are stacked with wingers and it’s hard to justify signing another no matter how good they may be as we have other positions to fill.



Now, the only way I can see this work is if we do a deal with a champ club with Lineham but pay a decent size of his wages. We then use that to sign Evans and take the hit. Is that worth it though when in reality we have Murphy, Kershaw and Taufua likely ahead of him. That’s no disrespect to Kyle.



The only way I can see him being at trinity is if there’s movement.



Saints need a winger and have a quota spot … I wonder if they have any interest in Taufua? These are the types of deals that may need to be done.



Would free a wing spot and quota spot and allow us to sign Evans with money to spare.



That said I’m looking forward to seeing what Taufua can do as he did look like a powerful guy who could do extremely well in SL. Despite that I want to see Kershaw continue on in that right wing spot.

Not even close to being as good as Kershaw IMO, can’t agree with what you say and I don’t think many will.



I’m a big fan of Evans but come on he’s played a handful of games.



He’s fourth choice however you view it, especially when Kershaw and Murphy are ten years younger.

Pretty much how I see it. Kyle has done well and will likely have earned the interest of some good championship clubs at least.



I’m sure Kyle is thankful for the opportunity to put himself in the window and his time at trinity has opened the door for any deals and a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent his country in the World Cup.

I don`t think they are a million miles apart to be honest in terms of where they are currently at ability wise, although Kershaw has developed his game but he is still pretty raw himself and prone to errors, as you say though the big thing is age, it`s a shame Evans didn`t make the move sooner as I think he could have been a very good player.

Also, are we just assuming the clean slate with a new coach doesn`t apply to Lineham? He`s been a big disappointment for me since he`s signed, but you never know...

We are very light at centre and Jorge could be used in that area. If so that makes room for Evans.

Forget Lineham he wont play for us again from what I hear, and rightly so !

Thats why we all have our opinions i guess as for me kyle is by far the better player.its no attack at lee just from What ive seen of both,lee would of struggled last night esp with the high bomb but kyle was superb,i also have seen both play in reserve games and yes while not the higest standard kyle seemed to impact those games more than lee.as i say though it all opinions

I think the difference is that Evans is a straight up winger that does all the wing duties well, including scoring a try, whereas Kershaw is also a good winger but is exceptional at bringing the ball out against a tough defense.

Ones best at the back of the field, one is good at the front.

I think KE offers more than either of our two LKs for the wing opposite Murphy. Problem is for how long?

I haven't got your knowledge of reserve games etc but you're right it is all about opinions.

Evans was excellent last night and I reckon he has a couple if not 3 seasons left in him, whether it's in SL or not, time will tell. Who'd be a coach eh?
