"I'm not really interested, because to be honest it doesn't really make much sense who I want to fight at this moment. Howe is also a victim of circumstance. He did not ask for Newcastle to be linked with Antonio Conte and Zinedine Zidane before settling on a man who has managed only Bournemouth and Burnley, or for the news that he was second or third choice, perhaps lower, to become so publicly apparent. Then, just before the season starts, he gets given Ronaldo. I think he's thrown it all out of the window. From day one, they're not a better team with Ronaldo in it. If they can stick to the task it can be a success, but against that patience is the relentlessness from Rhinos because their defensive line will go at you for the duration and can Lightning deal with that?
