Quote: PopTart "Absolutely. And he makes great ground. And I'm quite happy for him to play.
But if we are being critical, he's probably not the winger we need.
If Murphy hadn't been injured he would have been 2nd/3rd in line.
You shouldn't use a quota spot for that.'"
Recent years we have seen more success with pace and speed in the backs. We seem to have gravitated back to the power style wingers/backs and while they make decent yardage they don’t offer much attacking strike from range or even support play on breaks.
We have been embarrassed with the likes of Johnstone and a bit further back BJB. Murphy also showed last year some good touches but he’s out for season which is a cruel blow.
Langi isn’t the fastest and Lyne has lost all his athleticism and pace and is more of a forward these days in centre.
We may not see a player like TJ at trinity for some time again. It’s such a shame he spent a fair amount of time on the sidelines.
I guess my point is when you’ve had a player like TJ on the wing and a breakout speedy young lad who had success last year it’s hard to not be disappointed with replacements for those.
