Why? Most of his tries were because of his individual class not his centre.

Because time and injuries has dimmed his ability to score try’s like the special one he scored vs Hudds a few seasons ago. He specialises in finishing opportunities now, he’s the best in the world at it, so we need to have someone inside him who can create those opportunities or it’s not worth the Marquee wage we’ll have to pay him.

I'd say Jowitt provided more assists than his centre.

Be great to see TJ back but he would be 30 by the time his contract is up.

I hope we are also keeping an eye on how Murphy is progressing. Because plenty of young English players go down under and it doesn't always work out . If he is over his injury and decides to return to UK after a season or two, for various reasons I would prefer him over TJ

And Jowitt will still be here but if we’re going to pay marquee wages for a winger I’d like us to have a quality “wingers” Centre inside him to ensure we get value for money

We had this thread a few weeks ago and I trawled through a load of videos to confirm that Keighran didn't provide a glut of tries for TJ's competition winning total. His scores from passes had varied providers and quite a few came from following up kicks.

I don’t remember him saying anything bad about his time at Wakefield plus I am sure he is in contact with current players so will understand what being at Trinity now means.

Think a fast spine should be the first thing to sort out ,if we are going to challenge for a top 6 place That is why Leigh had a great season

That season of Bill Tupou and Johnstone on the edge was unstoppable.

Said the same and got shot down ,fans were saying Tupou was not a . The good problem at that time was we had 2 wingers and two centres who could go 80 yard because of speed ,.When I said we were short of speed before last season started ,got shot down fans saying S L is not about speed, So why are we in the Championship

Not sure why you think you were shot down.

One maybe two thought he might not make a centre and I think everybody knew we were short on speed, just not a lot we could do about it.

Yeah, they played well together no doubt and Bill was also at his best in those 2016, 17, and 18 teams.



Funnily enough, one of the best seasons we had was in 2017 and TJ only played 12 games, MCB filled in for him and scored quite himself that season. In the 2016 season, we finished 5th and got to the CC semi he scored 20 from 25, and then again in 2018 he scored 24 from 24 games. We were blessed with speed back then with TJ, BJB, MCB, Lyne, and Tupou could shift when he had to.



Tbh though I hadn't realised how many games he missed for us after that 2018 season, just 41 games in his final 4 years. A real shame really that we couldn't have got him on the field more but what can you do when they get injured? That rest and recuperation before moving over to France seems to have done him the world of good.
