Reports over here today saying that the dragons have enquired about signing tom.

I would be happy as the Dragons are my team but it would be very sad for wakey

Who could blame him if he went, hel be a millionaire in a few years out there. The rumour mill over here is fafita to Catalan and Tom to Leeds end of season. If he goes good luck to the lad he’s give his all for us and provided his body holds up hel improve out of sight in Australia

It was mentioned at the weekend to me after the Trinity game, Tom been sought by an Aussie club for next season. £200,000 fee offered for him.

Would much prefer him to go to Aus. Could probably get him back at some stage.
200 thou must be tempring if true particularly in the present climate.

He's worth more than 200k

If i were him i’d be off like a shot. He’ll be a star out there and a wealthy one at that. Add in playing in the best league in the world with excellent facilities will bring his game on even further and the weather and lifestyle and it’s a no-brainer if the chance is there. And lets be honest from the clubs point of view the money would be handy right now given everything thats going on.

He probably is pt but like everything at the present time 200 thou would be more than welcome and provide Cc with a kitty to buy a couple more second rowers and maybe another full back.

He is worth what clubs are willing to pay, which is sadly likely to be less than 12 months ago thanks to the pandemic hitting all clubs income. And given his injury history that figure sounds about right to me.

Its about whats best for Tom the club comes second. Its not very often a T J comes along particularly at our club and for him to reach his full potential he need to move on.
.

It I was given the opportunity I take it, this country is gone down the pan what with the recent legal justice and nanny way of things being run I wouldn't even think of coming back here.

He'd leave with my best wishes good luck to the lad hope it comes true

Just not sure dragons right team for him how they play im sure boj wont mind me saying sharks with sean johnson would be a better fit !!

not stood on the sidelines constantly injured he isn’t

he might buy some over the hill final pieces of the jigsaw

The Dragons have just got rid of their coach so that might change.

If tom went to another sl club even though couldnt blame him money talks at end of day but id be ed off.id he goes to NRL i would be delighted for him

I hope he goes, he’s too good for us and too good for SL.

We as a club and a game have let Tom down.

Twice he’s battled through injury and been better than ever. However the second time he came back to a team that had gone backwards. A team he had defended with heartfelt passion just before said injury.

Tom is a super nice lad but above all he’s a true athlete and an entertainer. He trusted the club or more importantly he trusted his coaches and fellow players to share his commitment and they simply haven’t. He has been betrayed, not the only one but certainly the most gifted.

I’ve tried to be positive but my heart sank the moment we signed Westerman, ives even defended him but signing players like him is a disaster.

No doubting the ability but he’s old now and he still has the dreadful attitude he’s always had. Nobody else wanted him except us, what were you thinking club. Brough was nearly as bad but at least Broughy has heart.

I can’t be sure but Westerman has team killer written all over him. Injuries killed us last year but this year there is clearly something wrong in the team. TJ for a start no longer looks happy when he scores, barely celebrates.

It may not be Westerman, I’m only going on his history. It could be any of them but somehow the signings we are making aren’t working?

To me they all look wrong with the exception of Wood and perhaps Tangata. Just my opinion but to me it looks like we’ve lost the spirit that made us formidable only 18 month ago.

Why would s play from the heart player like TJ want to stay for that.

Leeds under Agar? Hang your boots up now lad as that bloke will destroy you.

NRL, go for it with my support..

Can't blame those players for leaving the team is embarrassing

If he has the opportunity he should go.

The club should try to get as much money as possible and get a quality scrum half.
Maybe a swap deal for a couple of seasons and then TJ comes back. I'd take Hunt short term.

If he goes to the NRL, we should follow Wigan’s example and put a first refusal clause in place. All in all, I don’t think any Trin fan would begrudge him a move to the NRL.

Also, don’t want to sound harsh but I would’ve thought an NRL club would wait to see if he could have a relatively injury Free season.

Tom`s agent would be doing him a disservice if he stays in Rugby League. Without doubt he should move to Rugby Union, he is an amazing athlete with all the qualities to make it in RU. financially it would be a no brainer. The RFU would finance the transfer fee and blow Leeds or NRL club out of the water, remember they paid £ 500,000 transfer fee to Cas for Solomona, the RFU would also assist any of the RU Prem clubs with his wages. The money he could earn in RU would surpass anything he could earn in the NRL. I also think that he has the talent to gain international honors with England RU. I am sure that Tom will be on Eddie Jones radar, they would be mad not to make a play for him.

I’m not sure what would be worse - Going to RU or going to Leeds. First and foremost Tom should stay in RL. As it would pain me to see him in a Leeds shirt going down the line to score against us (remember Nigel Wright taking that intercept at Wigan and changing the game against us - it hurts) I’d support a move3 to NRL.

If I recall correctly there was a lot of chatter about St George sniffing around Tom 2 years ago after he scored 25 tries...

Players like TJ should be winning trophies, He hasn't got any chance of that at Wakefield . I suspect a few more will want to go. It can't be fun languishing at the bottom of the table with no signs of it getting any better. We have to be smarter but no-one has a clue what is needed at our club.

You do talk some twaddle at times. There is only one place that’s the NRL.
