We should try to keep him but not at any cost. I do hope he stays but if he goes heās given the trinity fans alot of exciting moments over the years.
As has been said we have Murphy emerging who is the best winger to come through since TJ himself. He is similar in a lot of ways to TJ and wouldnāt surprise me if he got TJās shirt if he went. Iād like to keep both though. We have one eye on the future with 2 cracking prospects in Hall/Murphy.
As for team strengthening⦠we have plenty out of contract to give us some options including some big earners.
Johnstone, Tupou, Minns, Croft, Tanivalu, Miller, Fifita, Arona, Whitbread, Aydin, Adebiyi, Batchelor atleast are OOC and there are some big earners in Tupou/Fifita/Miller maybe Arona in there. Id only re sign Batchelor/Johnstone/Whitbread and if heāll accept a reduced deal for a year in 2023 Fifita (heās missed a fair few games last few years but still has another year imo). Iād look for 2 strong prop imports and move Tanginoa back to second row for a start.
Plenty of options.
