His injury record and his performances this year in my opinion mean he is not worth a big contract.
If we can resign him on a lower deal than he is in now fair enough will be a good bit of business however if there are others in for him pushing up his salary I’d be comfortable to let him go.
We need to invest in other parts of the squad not in bumping up TJs contract.
Literally every time he takes a carry he comes out of contact looking like he has taken a knock.
Obviously he has the ability to do things other players cannot at times but when he signed his last deal he was an England squad winger with 1 injury behind him.
Now he is not in the England squad and misses more games due to injury with 2 big injuries behind him and issues regarding his concussion status.
To me that makes him a diminishing asset.
I’d love for us to keep him, as he clearly has the ability to do things at times others cannot however only if it is on reduced terms to reflect the above.
You change your script weekly.
TJ comes out looking mashed because he's hit hard and often dirty, often by your beloved Wigan.
I'd say he's one of the toughest players in SL by some way. He's endlessly targeted and he gives it 100% every carry, although last night I think even he finally became sick of being used as a cart horse.
He is by far and away our MVP and needs keeping at almost any cost. Sadly I think he already knows where he's heading now.
