Its OK saying we should keep them, but its not just the clubs decision - it's a two-way decision.
If I remember correctly, Lewis said that he was leaving and I don't think there was anything we could do to keep him here tbh.

I liked Murphy and wish him well but he obviously sees his future away from us so I’ll forget him and hope we find another for some other club to benefit from.

A Championship club without money will always be a selling club because that becomes their business model. They find young talent develop them and sell them on it as always been the way unless on the rare occasion someone with money steps in.

I pay into 1873 to produce youngsters for WAKEFIELD TRINITY, the fact we can not afford to keep any of them just says to me, is it all worth it ?

He's signed for an NRL club, not HKR.

Get a grip.

Would you stay at Rhinos or Wire et al if the NRL came calling?

Hope he’s getting good advice … he’s moving to one of the most expensive areas of Sydney…

That said he’s got bags of talent… hope he gets the chance to show it!!

He’s got a point though, hasn’t he!
How many of our better products move on?
Just about 90% of them!

Not true not even close but let’s not let reality cloud the truth.

I think anyone with a brain can see that on this one it wouldn’t have mattered what we offered.

Here is a young man who clearly has unlimited ambition and total self belief. He doesn’t just think Trinity is to small for him he thinks SL is.

You can argue all day about Batch and Aydin but Murphy’s future was completely out of our control. It’s sad but in truth the only club he would have stayed for I suspect were if he’d been a Saints product but even that would be postponing the inevitable.

Re: Murphy : Sat Apr 29, 2023 9:53 am  

Yep, we can probably criticise the club for many recent ins and outs but it doesn't feel like this is one of em to me

Re: Murphy : Sat Apr 29, 2023 1:54 pm  

Crazy to think how the tables have turned, it doesn't feel like 2 minutes since Aussie players were coming here for higher pay.

Now the lower grade players other there probably make more than first teamers here.

Good luck to Lewis can't blame him its too good of an opportunity to miss.
