Quote: The Avenger "
The most crucial IMO was that once we knew what we had we should have moved heaven and earth to get a centre who could set him up to score the scintillating try’s we know he’s capable of. Take Offiah at Wigan for example, Wigan went out and bought Gene Miles for the specific reason of getting good ball to Offiah and the results were off the scale. We never did that with Tom and while I know money was an issue we had enough seasons to get someone who could pass to play inside him.

Strange comparison using that cash rich Wigan side of the 80s and 90's that was the only professional side in the game and had 8 back to back challenge cup wins versus little old Wakey. Wasn't Miles only there 1 season???
As a continued fan of TJ I always want to see him score and, with that in mind, I don't think Catalans Centre Adam Keighran does Tom any favours regarding putting tries or break opportunities on a plate. Keighran has got 12 tries himself.
Maybe a vid of his 27 tries is available somewhere to check that out though? There is a vid that has his Wakey tries + 15 of this seasons scores. Keighran supplies his final pass for 4 of those.
