Quote: Trojan Horse "None of us really do. He’s not really a runner or an organising half. He’s kind of in between both without being great on either but has the occasional flash play or shocker play. As I say consistency seems to be something he struggles with. For this level though he is pretty good.'"
Mentioned this a few times over the years.
In the games I saw him play prior to him joining Trinity he played in the free role was direct and very dynamic he had a good kicking game but he wasn’t an organiser.
I remember being reading the headline in the Wakey express when he signed proclaiming him to be the next organising half from the club. I think a big part of this club spin was the issues we had since Finn and Williams left we were unable to replace those 2 natural organisers.
I think unfortunately we tried to turn Lino into that organiser which took him away from his natural style and now we have a player that lost the natural instinct to attack (although he does occasionally show glimpses) and who never took to the organising role we brought him in to do.
We’ve effectively diluted him to what we have now which is generally a pretty average half who occasionally shows flashes of his natural ability that is no longer his natural game.
