Like for him to stay but fully expect him to move on. He needs to be playing for a team his ability deserves, not one who barely utilises his strike power and will bob along down at the bottom, occasionally threatening the play offs.

He is not a diminishing asset the service he receives is. How often have we worked an overlap to give him room. I think he is what helps Murphy because the opposition focus on stopping him thereby leaving space on the other wing.
I am sorry and I know we cannot stop him from bettering himself but please don’t try to justify based on his performances. It might make some feel better but the club and team will be worse plus they will lose one of their most merchantable players.

Sorry Khlav,and I respect your opinion,but Tom doesn't 'need to be playing for a team his abilities deserve' he needs to be playing for us, and we need to be totally selfish.
If he is adamant he wants to go, or his demands are outrageous re a new contract, then sadly, we would have to part company.BUT,it is just bad business to lose your best player and match winner, and sends out all the wrong signals to loyal supporters and prospective ones.I don't think he was at his best against Shudds,(very unusual),but won us the game in 40 mins a few weeks back so def don't agree he is a diminishing asset.
There is his injuries and head knocks to be taken in to account, but if the medics are happy with that side of things then that shouldn't sway our decisions.The lad does take a lot of knocks,but when you're targeted like he is, that's not surprising.
Just as an aside - I've followed Trin for an awful lot of years and is there a better sight than seeing Tom Johnstone flying down the wing?
Whatever happens I'll still follow them of course, and,without wanting to add any pressure,does'nt that young Murphy look something special!

Last paragraph Murphy does look special as does Hall .one been brought in and one been given a chance by W Poaching Under the old coach Hall would have been no were near the club and Murphy would be no were near the first team .The old coach would though bringing in a old winger from Wires ,and giving him a 3 year contract was a good move and was going to get a 32 year old from Catalans .and we wounded why we got no money Just wanted the easy way out

I agree forevertrin.

Yes me too.
TJ is ours and we should keep him and build a team that can get good ball to him and Murphy.

jonhs wasn't a brilliant post. This is.

Well of course it is. A Wigan fan who pretends to be a Trinity fan and a Hudds fan on a fishing trip.

It was a rubbish post imo and clearly many agree.

Here she goes again.

Love you Vasty.

Just wish you had the stones to actually crawl from behind the keyboard every now and again.

You were slating me a month ago for saying 11th would be a result this season….now you are the biggest critic.

Keep hiding behind the keyboard and being the laughing stock fickle “supporter” everyone knows you are.

Rest of us will get on with talking rugby and not being keyboard Warriors.

So sad so bitter.

Ps despite your recent change of heart I personally still hope you are right from your thoughts last month…not this month….and Trinity finish higher than 11th.

Also make your mind up on that one.

I’m reminded about the old sayings about empty vessels when I read your posts.

…but seriously are we top 6 or relegation fodder because in a few short weeks you seem to be struggling with that decision.

My opinion, just like it was at the start of the year was we will finish 11th, possibly 10th at best.

At least one of us is consistent and also not scared to meet in real life.

Jonh
You know full well this is an anonymous site and asking someone to meet in real life is inappropriate.
Just make your point. About rugby. Not individual posters.

Please read Vastlass’s post.

No mention of rugby dig at an individual poster.

I also didn’t ask to meet him in real life…God forbid people actually interact.

To be honest I wouldn’t mind the hypocrisy but I’ve met and had great company with posters on here.

Some who agree with me some who don’t.

I’ve even been in Vastlass’s company but he chose not to declare himself despite apparently knowing who I was.

If you want to take the moral high ground fair play but at least be consistent..unlike Vastlass’s predictions for our season.

Just a point of correction re Corey Hall, he is one of ours as he was signed by Kelly into our Scholarship where he spent 2 years before going to Wigan then Leeds.
