Yeah right and watch out for splinters from that fence you sit on.

I think 'I don't have a problem with it' is clear enough.

He's a reporter and should ask questions like that. If Sky keep asking then they are trying to force the answer they want which would be too much.

Did he say, 'with all due respect to Wakefield?' Just sounds patronising, condescending etc. The night before watching the Salford game, there was a similar thing with Jackson Hastings coming back to Salford, when it was intimated he could have basically signed for one of the top clubs, but if remember rightly, it was worded slightly differently.......

It's only a small number of clubs that have won the GF so he could asked that question to most of Super League.

It's disrespectful if they keep asking.

Not sure that I agree with you on that on PT.

I know that TV pundits in football are always talking about players not being good enough, managers who should be sacked and players maybe wanting to move on to bigger and better things but, it's downright disrespectful to Trinity, end of story.
IF Wakefied were a League 1 or Championship club, that line of questioning MAY be appropriate but, this type of question is designed purely to undermine Trinity and potentially unsettle a player and modern cynical world, who knows why he asked the question, especially after Trinity had just mullered the UK's biggest club.

He should have asked the Leeds players if any of them thought they were good enough to get in the Trinity side ??

He's only voicing what everyone else was saying.
Everyone on here was worried when there was a suggestion Fifita might go.
I'm sure Wigan and Leeds are not worried about their top players coming to us.

I'm just happy we are a high enough club to keep them both..... and Tupou. He'll be the next one they talk about. You might as well prepare yourself now.

Of course nothing.
But if people think we are not a big enough club they would expect him to be at Leeds or Sts.
Lucky for us, like TJ and Fifita he is in contract and seems happy here.

Re: TJ & Bill Arthur : Sun Mar 03, 2019 7:09 pm  

TJ himself looks f@cked off with being asked it which is a great sign.

Re: TJ & Bill Arthur : Sun Mar 03, 2019 7:17 pm  

Some of the Sky pundits still seem to have a condescending attitude towards Trinity, not all of them mind. Some of the comments in the Leeds match you'd have thought it was 2015 again where Leeds were the table toppers and we were the regular basement dwellers.
