I always head a feeling that Fa’afili was under rated by a lot of supporters. I don’t understand why Lineham doesn’t get any where near the level of praise that Josh Charnley does, but I guess it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
Yeah i think Lineham is an all round better winger than Charnley, but the wire faithful have this weird obsession with him.
He's a quality player who doesn't do anything wrong, but when he has a game where he's quiet and doesn't do anything and Lineham plays better and harder than him him he still gets over looks and Charnley is the best thing ever. I find it utterly bizzarre.
There was an instance in one game where charnley scored a few times from simply being in space with nobody near him and took the ball and simply ran forward and fell over the line. Where lineham scored 2 really hard tries going round and through multiple defenders yet NOTHING got mentioned of his tries afterwards, and the club and fans were all praising perfect Charnley i Genuinely don't get it?
I tell you who i used to like but nobody seems to rate him was Mark Gleeson, he never did anything wrong, tackled well above his weight, and was fast and made some good breaks. I liked watching him on the field and thought he was massively underrated.
