A tad OTT on this occasion seeing as Lewis is OOC at the end of the season.....

Spill the beans then Luppylad.

No not really. Players at all clubs sometimes leave and do not renew their contracts, it happens. The difference is with us we do not replace like for like.
TJ and Lweis out... Lineham and Tafua in... then add Fifita, Tini, Batch, Miller ... look at who comes in. Can you see a pattern developing.

Surely we should have been looking to tie the lad down long term before it came to this?
Of course, nobody can begrudge him or anyone else leaving if the are offered a contract down under but, after already having Johnstone leave, we really ougt to have had our better players, especially the youngsters, tied up for as long as possible.

It doesn't feel quite as bad just yet but, with all of the plyers that have been allowed to leave, it feels like the Kath Hetherington era, with everyone for sale.
Ok, we scraped through that and eventually started to build again but, the stakes are getting a little higher and if we have any aspirations about being one of the lucky 12 clubs, we must stay in SL.

Nothing to spill, players will leave cine end of season though

I liked Murphy and wish him well but he obviously sees his future away from us so I’ll forget him and hope we find another for some other club to benefit from.

A Championship club without money will always be a selling club because that becomes their business model. They find young talent develop them and sell them on it as always been the way unless on the rare occasion someone with money steps in.

I pay into 1873 to produce youngsters for WAKEFIELD TRINITY, the fact we can not afford to keep any of them just says to me, is it all worth it ?

He's signed for an NRL club, not HKR.

Get a grip.

Would you stay at Rhinos or Wire et al if the NRL came calling?

Hope he’s getting good advice … he’s moving to one of the most expensive areas of Sydney…

That said he’s got bags of talent… hope he gets the chance to show it!!

He’s got a point though, hasn’t he!
How many of our better products move on?
Just about 90% of them!

Not true not even close but let’s not let reality cloud the truth.

I think anyone with a brain can see that on this one it wouldn’t have mattered what we offered.

Here is a young man who clearly has unlimited ambition and total self belief. He doesn’t just think Trinity is to small for him he thinks SL is.

You can argue all day about Batch and Aydin but Murphy’s future was completely out of our control. It’s sad but in truth the only club he would have stayed for I suspect were if he’d been a Saints product but even that would be postponing the inevitable.

Yep, we can probably criticise the club for many recent ins and outs but it doesn't feel like this is one of em to me

Crazy to think how the tables have turned, it doesn't feel like 2 minutes since Aussie players were coming here for higher pay.

Now the lower grade players other there probably make more than first teamers here.

Good luck to Lewis can't blame him its too good of an opportunity to miss.
