No he's not. Sorry but you're wrong.

I honestly don't like comparing players, especially new versus established, its pointless.

I do agree his defence is a big plus. However he hasn't got TJ's instinct or natural ability if you take away the pace (and we know how quickly that can go) and I will bet your house he will not be as prolific. However he's spot on for us.

I suspect you are biased as you will know the lad. I to am biased as I was definitely the first on here to sing his praises, not much over a year ago, which is an amazing rise! However I have to be honest if Tom hadn't been injured half his career we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Lets not over burden the lad with expectations and let's not degrade a genuine Trinity superstar and legend. Lewis will find his own way in the game, he doesn't need to be compared to TJ, two very different players.

He looks a special talent. Was impressed with Kershaw too.

We have really missed Kershaw out with an ACL but the wing spot is his to lose again after last night.

Murphy ever since watching him in the academy last year I’ve been singing his praises and could tell he would make the grade. He was head and shoulders the best winger in the academy competition last year for sure.

I still can’t believe we have been running with a left edge of a 19/20 year old who between them at season start had 4 superleague appearances between them! These lads have a big future BUT they need the games they’re currently getting to keep developing thier games further.

Lewis is an out and out winger of the old school.

Kershaw is clearly a decent winger but his gift is as a yardage maker, he hurts his opponents, he simply never goes backwards.

We need both and we have them.

This has been an awful season and despite the attempts of a certain poster to point score it could still end up being the worst ever - relegation.

The one shining light has been the continual development of youngsters.

Staying or going Batchelor has stepped up a notch.

Crowther has improved again.

Hall, what can you say, a total find.

Murphy and Kershaw, already noted.

Aydin getting game time, even at Leeds.

Eseh looking good at Fev and so on.

It takes time for a well run Academy to really start producing in quantity and quality but we are getting there. At some point we will get our version of the golden generation if we stay the course this season.

Agree with all of that to be honest. It’s just a matter of time for these players to mature properly. Hopefully time we can continue to give them by staying up.

Batchelor should have always been playing right second row for me. He’s taken a while to get to the player he is but he’s certainly looking like a good SL player now.

I’m excited for the future and the academy is certainly the way to go for teams with limited budget like us.

i totally agree and its made such a difference to the team. For me Pitts has been good but his time is up. Taginoa although can cause havoc is a bit dodgy in defence. Batch is by far the most effective in the right second row slot. I am really suprised no one asked Carter about his future, because the rumours I am hearing the club have made a massive error.

Watching the Murphy second try, just for a moment reminds me of how Allan Hunt was for Trinity just before Saints snapped him up. We need to get him secured with a decent contract, difficult I know due to the uncertainty of securing our SL position.

Wakefield are going to have to up his contract to keep him. Such is his potential.

Regarding Batchelor and Miller.....the question was asked would they both be here next year and his reply was he genuinely didn't know what was happening as yet. Also said the club had fought off enquiries about Hall, Murphy and Tanginoa.

Thought Crowther was outstanding last night. If he was 6:4 and 17/18 stone with his heart and passion he’d be another Sam Burgess. The lad bleeds Trinity, puts his body on the line, and his silky pass to Miller from dummy half set up the motion to put Ashurst through the gap.
