Well done and congratulations for winning "D*ckhead post of the year" so early on.

Well it felt like that for most of last year! And anyway the reasons why he doesn't get enough ball are irrelevant, we have probably the best player we've had in Superleague we should be ensuring we give him as much ball as possible end of.

It doesn't work like that. If you just pass it to him at every opportunity the opposition will just line up in front of him.
If the forwards don't draw the players in to the middle or Lyne doesn't pull them to the right then you just make him an easy target.

I agree it needs to get to him but good ball not every ball.

Also, I've seen a few comments about his individual tries.
There is no doubt his individual skill made the try but the opportunity came because of his team mates skills, vision and effort.

The first came because our half backs decided to go for a play near their own line. Most don't do that. We gave him a one on one because of quick thinking and good quick passes.
The second just looks like individual skill but it is caused because Crowther ran the kicker down when everyone else was waiting, and managed to grab his shirt just as he was kicking. The kick went higher, giving TJ his opportunity.
It's not always just about Tom.

That would be a sure way of breaking him

Don't be ridiculous

Exactly, thus creating spaces elsewhere on the pitch. He's our strike weapon and is often chronically underused. Use him early and often and that gives the opposition something to think about.

Just as ridiculous as giving him the ball every time give your head a shake for gawd sake

We are the mighty trin let's build with Tommy at the elm in our new and improved belle Vue. Dont forget he's only played 2 from 4 years due to the shocking injuries he has had. He is like watching Ryan Giggs in his prime class.

The only thing Tom needs is an injury free season , he'll score a lot of tries with the ball he gets.
I've seen some great wingers at BV from 1960 and make no mistake Tom is up there with the best of them.
He's a credit to the club and I can't wait to see him scorching in for many a try in a new stadium!

That's not what I said though is it? I said he should be our go to play most sets. He has the ball in a lot of sets now anyway by virtue of the fact we repeatedly utilise him to run the ball from dummy half in his own 20. If anything's going to 'break him' then that is more likely to although still probably won't. Maybe we could adapt that strategy to try get him the ball as often as now but when he's on the wing instead where he can make best use of his outstanding skills? The way rugby games pan out even with all the will in the world he still wouldn't get it each set anyway - balls get dropped, plays go wrong etc. My issue is we don't appear to have a proper strategy to frequently try get him into the game, certainly not when he's actually on the wing. We've got the best winger in the league for God's sake use him

his talent is wasted playing for us and our mediocre players inside him ,if i was him i would be looking to get out asap - your league career is only short

Well thank you're nowhere near "being him"
