Wakefield Trinity • Reece in England Squad v France
I’m a big fan of Lynne always have been even in the early days when the boo boys were on his back.
I think he is a moneyball centre.
From a stats point of view he is excellent and brings great value, for the players that were fit and available I think he deserved his shirt.
I don’t anticipate he did enough to get a spot in the 17 going forward when the NRL lads come into contention. He’s not alone in that, I think a lot of the players who you would have thought should have been really going for it to push themselves into contention were poor.
I think the squad will look very different and with the competition at centre if they all remain fit he may be a casualty of that.
1 thing I find really frustrating is the unforced errors when he has too much time. It’s something that has blighted his game over the years. He seems to overthink things when he has too much time. Happens for Trinity and was highlighted in that game again with the break and pass that should have been a try.
I don’t think there was any malice in the tackle he just got his technique wrong but in SL he would have seen yellow (not saying that is a good or bad thing).
I’d have given him 5/10 but too I would have given anyone for England was 6.
With Newman, Gildart back for next year and injury free, the likes of Farnworth and Percival and I think a potential bolter in Jake Waddell there is plenty of competition for him to fend off.
One thing I noted was Wane likening to Mal Meninga in his post game interview which is quite some accolade so he clearly rates him.
