As a young trinity lad I wish him success. Good to see he’s back playing.

We may see him back in a trinity shirt some day. Do we retain his registration? Not sure how it works?

He was out of contract so a free agent, so if he returns he's free to go where ever he pleases, hopefully it's at Wakefield.

I thought if we offered him a contract the club retained his registration (like Croft and Shaw). They are free to take a contract elsewhere but up until 23 a fee was due.

Otherwise how do you explain Croft and Shaw being income to sign for a uk club without a fee?

Not when you go to a league outside RFL.

I’m on about if he comes back to a league in the RFL.

Oh I see what you mean. Maybe so.

Not sure anybody knows. Hopefully he will be a success and end up staying over there. I do like to see trinity homegrown players doing well.

Didn’t see much of him on highlights. Was that his first game back from injury.

Somehow it eases the pain somewhat if our rising stars leave for Oz or other foreign clubs. Like when Tom Johnston left, I could accept his departure far more easily than if he had signed for Leeds or Wigan. Hopefully bothTom and Murph will be back in a Trinity jersey in the not too distant future.

Must have done enough in his first game, he has been named in the NSW Cup squad to play the Canterbury Bulldogs on Saturday 6/4. Interestingly he has been named on the left wing for this game, he played right wing last week. It seems that the Roosters management are keen to have a good look at him to decide his best position, and how he fits into their team. I hope he goes well and can get a run of games under his belt, it will bring his game on tremendously . However competition for places is fierce and he will be under a fair bit of pressure
