Slightly different though.
Miller chose to go there when we wanted him to stay.
Crowther wasn't in our plans so had to look at offers.

Always found him a decent and pleasant lad to chat when I have had the chance, so he goes with my best wishes for the future. Never let us down in a Trinity shirt either.

I think your not giving Wakey any credit for the rehab they put into TJ before he left, he went fitter than he had been for a long time.
Agree about Batch

I liked Crowther, but understand under the circumstances why he had to go.
Didn't we once take a Warrington player in similar circumstances can't quite remember.

TJ is no better than he was here. He was top of try scorer charts a few times before injury in a couple of seasons. Also he has always been a big meter maker.

It’s just he’s more media attention and getting the service. He’s changed games for trinity on numerous occasions and we made him what he is today.

Agreed

We took grix from wire, he never played for us. Not sure why he came but he was injured and was never going to play.
Did he go back to wire the season after.

He's more likely to get a pass and seems to be having a good run of injury free games.
Even at Wakefield he got a lot of tries on his own so as you say its not like they've improved him, just he has more opportunity.

Wire needed the cap space to sign Chris Sandow. We took Grix as a favour hoping they'd help us out further down the line. I'm not sure they ever did.

Definitely about the service. TJ is still my favourite superleague player. He is a Trinity success story. I hope to see a few more like him come from the academy.

In my opinion Batchelor has come on leaps and bounds.

Let's slightly tweak the question.... are we weaker for not having batch in our team?

If he can hold his Ale he’ll be fine with us

Of course we are. He's a good player. I don't think anyone would argue with that. But Scarlet suggested he'd be better at Rovers just by being there and not here, and I haven't seen that.

And if he had signed for saints or Wigan he probably would be still further on in his development, surrounded by better players , better set up and a better culture .
