Shame but not surprising its ended this way. He's been brilliant for us and his strike in an underperforming team speaks for itself. Guess it means he will miss the WC too, whatever slim chance he had of making it.

For his sake I hope the surgery and rest will mean he is fit and raring to go in France and will be able to showcase his talent to its fullest capacity.

Can't get on FB my account locked for some reason - thank god.
Reading between the lines I guess Tom needs surgery?
I hope it goes well for him, and I thank him for his efforts over the years - it's been a challenge for him scoring believable tries in an underperforming team and for the club to keep him on the field to do that.
Perhaps it's better for all concerned that we all move on in our separate ways.
Wish you were staying Tom but not to be good luck - except when your playing us!

That unbelievable TJ performance against Huddersfield at Belle Vue will stick in my mind forever. Good luck and take it easy against us when (if) you appear back at BV.

Echo all that’s been said.

Yet in a way I’m glad. That whole team from 2016 - 2019 has now faded away and we need to start again.

Tom is a rare talent and the above team supported it but now it can’t. He no longer fits and he’s not what we need, he’d be utterly wasted with this lot.

We now have a team full of the untalented or the past it. If we survive this year it will be a triumph of mediocrity.

Four years ago we had a team that contained perhaps half a dozen players who would get a gig in any SL team. The last one left was Tom and he’s off.

We now have dads army, some half promising youngsters and a bunch of dodgy mercenaries. Oh happy days.

I don’t think there’s ever being a time where we’ve needed some of toms brilliance

Very much a shame we won’t see him in the red white n blue again

Pretty much agree with your post and from his debut at Leeds, which is THE best debut from a youngster that I've ever seen (and by some distance), he has been quality, absolute quality.
The bit that I disagree with is "no longer what we need".
The lad can and has won games single handed for us and we could do with that more than ever, a bit of sparkle and X factor to turn a narrow loss into a narrow victory and it's real shame that we have had to do without him for most of the season.

I hope that he can get over his injuries and really shine for Catalan and hopefully for England.

It's been an absolute privilege to have him at Trinity and witness so many remarkable moments.

Good luck lad !

Sad we’ll not see him in our colours again, i was hoping he’d get back for the last month and give us a bit of X factor to steer us to safety. He’s been one if the best wingers we’ve had, a genuine game changer. Hopefully he will get a good run with his fitness now and he gets the success his ability deserves.

Welcome to the dark side after finally seeing the light (nothing like a mixed metaphor). We had a chance to actually build a successful squad but unfortunately squandered it. Why maybe mediocrity is more economical but once you start you can seldom stop the slide without far greater investment to persuade the better players to join a club in decline.

If we had not gone down the route we did then TJ like he said in an interview after the Leeds game when asked why he stayed with us would not signing elsewhere and we would not be in the position we are.
