I think he had an ankle injury at the start of pre season, if I remember willie said he wasn’t too far of in recovery but whether he’s had a set back or just precaution not playing him I don’t know.

According to WP in the interview this week Lino has a calf injury which has kept him off the field for the entire preseason... hasn’t done any ball work or team sessions and is still not ready to train.

Your probably right, knew it was lower leg but wasn’t 100% sure which bit, gives Gaskell or walker a go though so there’s options there

It’s a real shame as the Lino/Miller partnership was really looking like something great backend of last season. Would like to have seen that continue through pre season and round 1.
It gives Gaskell a chance and I hope he does well and shows trinity what he can do. I’ve not seen enough of him to form an opinion yet on how effective he will be at 7.

I said after the Boxing Day game that I thought he was our man of the match, so if Lino is not fit yet, then I would have no problem with him partnering Miller in the halves

I’d also throw Walker into the mix as he always seems to do well in the halves when asked, he’s also played with Miller.
From what I’m told Lino has had a minor op but I can’t guarantee that info.
