As I said on another threat I am of the opinion TJ is a diminishing asset and should be offered a contract to reflect that. If he signs on reduced terms fantastic, would be a great bit of business by Trinity if not we move on without him and remember the fantastic tries he has scored for Trinity.

I can’t help but think a move for him would be good for both parties. His injury record may improve under a different coach and medical team and ultimately I think we all want to see him on the field more consistently.

We are at the point with Tom where nearly every time he takes contact he picks up a knock or has to have the trainer on.

Trinity given the financial limitations are in a position where we need to get more value in performance out of players than their worth on the salary cap. As good as he is there is no point in a club with such financial challenges having salary cap say in the stands.

Given we have Lineham and Murphy as well as the forgotten man Kershaw we are fine for wingers. Something has to give on that department so we can invest elsewhere. Lineham
Is on a 3 year deal (madness) Murphy will be on a wage to reflect his novice status and it’s been widely reported Kershaw is on next to nothing.

Sadly it all points to TJ probably bring the man to move on.

From a playing point of view I also think TJ needs a move if he is to kick on. He must be 25/26 now and coming into his prime years. Whilst he is capable of doing things others cannot I think he has stagnated a bit these last couple of years. The same weaknesses in his game persist and a new environment may be what he needs to get him to the next level as there should be no reason on his potential that he shouldn’t be the first choice winger for England.

Quote: Trojan Horse "Not sure if it’s being confirmed regarding TJ but Murphy to me looks like he’s got the potential to be as good as TJ. Head and shoulders best player on pitch tonight. Last reserves game he scored a hattrick and he’s played well in his debut season and knows where the try line is.

I really hope we can get him signed up longer term because he’s impressed imho. The more game time he gets the better he will get I’m sure. Him and Hall could be a cracking pair for the future.'"



If we do stay up id be more than happy for tj to go as he will be in good money some we can hopefully put to better use on more pivatol postions and with player who actually plays and in murphy we have an excellent replacement and feel he is already as good in defence as tom he made another super tackle last night.give the lad another 12 months of experiance and he could be a better all round player

Top six 2005 - Trinity.:



I think there needs to be a lot of credit for the recent academy set up. We look to have a few who will become good quality SL players.

Murphy isn’t the finished article yet but he definitely seems to have similar attributes to TJ. We’ve seen him produce a few good TJ dives in the corner and show a good step and balance. As has been said his defence is pretty good too.

By the way TJ is my favourite player and I think he’s given us alot to cheer about over the years but I’m impressed by Murphy to the point it will lessen any impact of TJ leaving. That’s assuming he does leave of course.

We don’t half seem to be able to bring through some quality wingers. Lee Kershaw ain’t half bad either.

Not sure on Evans. Only saw him yesterday. Seems a strong runner but hard to say how he would go against SL opposition.

Took a fairly easy walk in try but also fell off a tackle to let one in which should have been made. He looked to work hard.

What has happened to Davetanivalu? Doesn’t appear any mention of him in recent games.
