So we won't be entitled to the compensation associated with his development then?

No he is too old and will be out of contract.

Only counts until a player is 21.

Absolutely not and I have to ask why you’d ever think we would. We have got more than our money back with Tom. We deserve nothing in that respect, the debt was paid long ago.

Lewis Murphy then you’d have a case.

If he does leave at the end of the season which I am sure he will the club had better use the recruitment budget to sign players who actually improve the squad rather than to just fill a shirt and have a squad number. This season as been particularly bad with exception of Hall.

Could be some light at the end of the tunnel with the spare cash and some deadwood moved on regarding signings ,personally hope he stops ,I’d like us to build a team around him ,but I’m sure we could make use of the extra money if he decides to move on . But I believe it’s every players ambition to win medals/cups ,and unfortunately we are well off the pace being a team fighting for regular honours at present and presumably for a while yet , so I’d imagine Tom is no different and think this season will be his swan song ,but hopefully leaving us in a safe position to move onwards and upwards in our new stadium

One thing about Tom, I suspect that if he is here until the end of the season he will be the type of player that gives his all right up to the final hooter of the final game, unlike some, sadly
Just seen this news which has somewhat marred an otherwise enjoyable day.
Good luck Tom. I'm proud to say that I witnessed the career of one of the best wingers that I've seen in 66 years of watching Wakefield Trinity.

Yeah because they would go out of thier way not to wouldn’t they!

Do you actually believe the stuff you post?

Tom is out of today's team

Why?

Says slight niggle

I can only base my opinion by looking at the quality of the recent signings which at best have been done to fill a shirt or do you consider them to be shrewd and have improved things on the field. The problem we face of course is that the more we struggle year after year because of our less than impressive signings then it is unlikely that the type of player we need would want to join us.
I wonder what you base your assumptions that next season will be different or are you just passing on what you have been told to.

I said in my post yesterday, Tom is in the 21 man squad,but if not included in the matchday team, he is on his way already.
Probably be announced within 24 hours who he as signed for. Catalan by the look of things.
Means we will get a fee for him, probably not much, but better than none at all.
