hope he isnt going as been one of our better players this year

No room for him here tbh. IMO his best position is hooker and we have to many ATM. Would be sad to see him leave but he should for his own game to develop.

Heard Steve McNamara is a big fan of Tommy Lee, who'd be very happy if Bulls snapped him up. He's a fantastic ball player in my books with a good brain. His development has probably been stifled due to moving him around to much. Suppose that is due to his utility value though.

i was one of tommy,s critics last year,ie boots and head size not matching,this year tho,top man,i,d still like 2 see him mature in 2 a top class 6.he,s got the game in the locker,remember how long we gave yeamo,horneys, even judas 2 turn into super league players..3 to 5 yrs they got,.the lad just needs confidence and a run a the rite posistion,how some people have slagged him off is untrue..no wonder salford are sniffing, big shaun can tell a player...rant over..

To be honest, I'm easy either way. He has improved no end this season and is now a decent player. Don't reckon he'll ever be top class, however, and if we need his salary to help bring in a better player, so be it.

That said, if he does stay, I'd be happy too.

Mixed feelings really, we don't need or want him and Houghton on the bench every week and if Berrigan is playing hooker then one of them would sit out. Houghton is better off the bench imo whilst Lee is better at starting the game, don't rate him in the back row at all.

Would be useful to keep as a squad player but I am not sure he would make the 17.

Next season may be berrigan's last though

Well nobody knows that, however that is why it would be useful to have him around.

Exactley the same for me.

I would keep personally, him and Houghton are building a good partenership, Berro has said he wants to move to loose forward towards the end of his career, next season is the perfect time to do this.

As someone else said we gave other players 3-5 years to develop into a super league player, Tommy Lee has been unlucky he got thrown into a team needing a replacement for Cooke(who took about 4 years to come good) and was expected to be as good as Cooke at the age of 18 in his first season of super league.

Your not on your mobile!

You're?

I'll be happy to see him finally go !! No doubt that he has improved this season and has done "okay" but is that really enough to give him yet another contract ???

Some people are saying that he is our POTY ?? FFS !!! He doesn't stand out like a lot of the other $hite because he does very little. He gives 100% and tackles his heart out but simply isn't good enough. It really is about time that we released players of his very limited quality if we want to ever get back to where we should be.

He may not cost much but I would rather see us put the cash towards a quality player and see Houghton on the bench much much more often.

If Salford would take our captain fantastic, I would offer them a 2 for the price of 1 deal and a cash incentive !!!!

I'm still not understanding the love-in on here for Houghton. His distribution isn't great, he doesn't engage the square markers before passing the ball. He puts a lot of tackles in but is constantly dominated leading to a quicker PTB for the opposition and the times he does make a half break (I think I've only ever seen one clean break from him) he isn't looking around for the offload and the PTB isn't particularly quick. He hasn't progressed from when he first came into the team IMO. Lee is a better all round player ATM and Houghton only has the edge in terms of his skoots from the PTB.

About sums it up for me.

Wouldn't renew his contract. Although he has cut out his errors, he still offers very little. Money needed elsewhere.

Are you asking if i am on mine!??!

And me. I suspect he's rated highly because he looks like he's playing with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, rather than anything he actually does.

I always look at it like this.................If Tommy Lee played against us for another team ( maybe Salford who knows ? ) would we be quaking in our boots ?

If the answer is no then it's no loss.

i agree with you on your point. But if his wages are not too expensive, he surely would be worth keeping as a bit part player for cover at least? No disrepect intended to tommy

I think the fact the some people are claiming Tommy is our player of the year is more an indication of how poor we've been this year rather than what a player Tommy is.

He gives 100% effort and commitment but I don't think for one minute he would be missed if he left. He's like a lot of average players in our team atm.

I like Tommy but it may be time for him to move on. TBH the promise he showed as a 16/17 year old hasn't really developed.

For cover....yes, but would he want to stay and be a cover player or get regular first team games elsewhere ?

All pro sportsmen whatever sport just want to play.

Get rid. In terms of SL he's below average, be a very decent Div 1 player. People on here have got short memories as to how bad he was last year, remember Rovers away as one example? In fairness to Tommy he was asked to do stuff he's not actually capable of and therefore looked awful, the reason he looks better this year is because he has a very simple distribution plan to stick to. If folk are happy with that well good luck to you. Need to strip away at all these so called 'utility' players. The scourge of our club over recent years.

Remind me?
