I heard the same earlier, but the version I heard was that we've also expressed an interest in bringing him back

Confirmed today that Salford have signed a Lewis but neither a Murphy nor a Mikey.

After not featuring for a number of weeks. Lewis has been selected to play left wing for the Roosters NSW Cup team to play St George Illawarra Dragons on Sunday 07/07

I know we have Johnstone, Walmsley and Booth for next season but I would welcome Murphy coming back to the club as a young local talent. It would be a good move to bring him back.

Did we hold his registration as a young player under 23/24 like Shaw/Croft?

He picked up a knock is the reason not been playing previously

Hope he goes well. I’m happy to champion any Wakefield Trinity homegrown player.

Despite making a few handling errors in the last game Lewis has kept his place in the Rooster's squad to play Western Suburbs this Sunday
On the bench for the Magpies is Charbel Tasipale, who was recently released by the Cas Vegas Bin Dippers

If Murphy were to return to SL I think we would be one of his choice clubs. Certainly more likely to stay this side of the Pennines imho. That said I think he’ll stay in Oz for as long as he can

One positive from the previous regime is we have a clause of first refusal for Lewis, similar to Bateman when he left Wigan, so if he does return and we want to, we will be talking with him first.

I don't see how that's possible if he was out of contract?

Just what Craig Harrison had said, I don't know all the ins and outs off it but the deal he signed for the roosters was done way before the May date where clubs are allowed to talk to players. Not everything is straight forward.

Doesn't the May deadline only apply to RFL clubs? I'm sure you can approach the other competition whenever you want? Huddersfield did similar with Burgess for 2025.
