What I don't really get is, what do they get out of it? I know they are incredibly well off compared to Super league clubs, I know over there that's pretty much the case for all NRL clubs, they are organisations aren't they, in the way our clubs can never be. If he feels he has developed if and when he does come back, that's great, but he's so inexperienced at the top level over here?! He had one season basically in the 1st team, and did very well obviously, I could understand it if he did that 3 or 4 years running, then why an NRL club would want him. I don't know if TJ was ever offered anything down under, but he did it over a longer period of time, in mostly struggling teams, apart from a couple of seasons, but maybe his injury record put NRL teams off?

Because they saw potential. They don't always want someone trained in SL. They want raw talent they can develop themselves. |

You may well be correct, but if he does come back, sooner rather than later, then if it's their choice to send him back, they haven't given him much of a chance have they?! |

I haven't seen anything to say they want to get rid of him.

Happy he’s getting some game time. I do hope we will see him at Trinity again sometime. |

| Quote: The Chin's Back "Murphy is such a natural athlete and good luck to him for backing himself by choosing to try his luck in the NRL with the Roosters.
IMO he has chosen the wrong club to go to (Although they may have been his only option?) as they generally lure the cream of the crop to the club rather than experiment with young and relatively inexperienced players and especially from the SL.
IMO he will be back in SL within 12 months of starting at the Roosters and will join a SL club on a mega contract'"
Quote: The Chin's Back "Looks like the Chin was right afterall
Lewis has struggled to make the grade in the NRL and chose the wrong club.
Perhaps if he'd gone elsewhere he'd have got a chance of playing some games in first grade?
I think that all of the SL clubs would be interested in him though as he's a very talented player without a doubt
