I agree.
I like Murphy a lot but he has a way to go before he's even an NRL starter never mind best in the world. |

We will have to wait and see how Lewis goes in Aussie,and I do agree that it's a massive step up from SL,but I've no doubt that the lad has the talent.Young is NRL ready,Murphy isn't.Should get a clearer picture by the end of the season.

Nowhere near where TJ was at that age, not even remotely arguably imho. Flipping heck he only played a dozen or so games for us. He was good but they all are in there first season.
If he were climbing Everest he’d be at base camp one. TJ on a good day is near the summit. Murphy is way off, but in fairness he’s giving it a good go. |

| All the comments about being nowhere near TJ, I feel I have to put my opinion over. I've known Dom Young since he was 10 (even coached him for 1 year) seen him play all through his junior days and scholarship and academy at Hudds and the couple of SL game he got, and although he was extremely athletic and coachable, he looked distinctively average, what has made the difference is the coaching, this is where Australia is so far in front of us. He has been turned in to a World Class winger there is no doubt and if Murphy gets the same level of coaching as he did, he will turn out as good if not better, at 19 in SL Murphy looked a better prospect than Dom at the same stage.  |

Well he's a step closer today.
Dom Young has been sent off.
That'll show how far up the pecking order Murphy is.

Sometimes when it’s going good and things aren’t broken it’s better to stay where you are than to chase more money elsewhere. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side

He's not part of the first team squad, he's in the Pathways/Jersey Flegg comp. So I suppose the Roosters have to run out of first team options, and I guess at this point they have a few. However if that fails then they will promote from the reserve comp. For Lewis to get the nod he's have to be the best Winger in the Roosters reserve team. He's new and he's still coming back from injury, so I doubt hes the top winger at present.
Much as I'd love him to progress it's probably too soon. |

The TJ v Lewis argument is not about who's the best winger, only time will tell.
It's a about where they were at that respective age, and the facts are that TJ had done a fair bit more by the time he was 22. I realise Lewis picked up his ACL earlier than TJ (I think?) but I don't think he'd have had much of a season with us last year anyway. So TJ would still have been ahead imho.
As for Dom, he was born for the NRL, so long as he keeps learning. In every respect he's already there other than gaining the experience he needs and thus learning the lessons. It' up to him now, but that pee poor tackle didn't help.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |

| Quote: Dr Dreadnought "Lewis scores his first try for the Roosters in this week's NSW cup game against St George. Really pleased for him
Would be good to see Murphy back at Trinity one day.
Would love to see TJ, Walmsley and Murphy all at trinity. That would be a real embarrassment of riches!
