He is a brilliant player and every single team in SL would chase his signature, if he became available. I think it is so refreshing to see a player, who could easily throw his toys out and engineer a move to Wigan, Saints or Leeds, look happy and wear his shirt with such passion and pride. I sincerely hope he can have the rest of his career in good, injury free form, he has had wretched luck with injuries that have finished other players and he is genuinely world class and a joy to watch, even as an opposition fan. The only other player I can recall of that quality who stuck to his own team is back in the 80's and was John Woods, of Leigh. He stuck with them despite Hull offering (a huge contract for the time) world record amounts to sign him. I think he left Leigh to save them financially and I don't think you will lose TJ - he's obviously happy and has personal emotional investment in his club.
