So you don't think Tommy will walk back into position when he's back?
His reluctance to retire is holding Smith and the club back
Everyone knows this is true but nobody wants to say it due to Tommy's legendary status

I will now await the usual Troll accusations etc etc

His reluctance to retire????
How do you know he didn't want to and was persuaded by the club to extend?
How can he want to carry on and the club not want him to when he didn't have a contract?

You sound like Medlocke off the other site ( )

Just more total nonsense

Tommy has been outstanding this season. We’re very lucky to have a guy like that to help guide Harry Smith and Cade Cust (who isn’t hugely experienced himself). I noticed Tommy sat with Harry Smith at half time deep in conversation. How good must it be to have a World Cup winner to lean on for advice in big games?!

That's fair enough, but when Tommy plays in the half's he holds Smith back, If fans want Tommy on the pitch then it must be at 9, I'd be happy with that but we all know the Golden Boy will have to play and slow us down at 9

I wouldn’t be against playing him at 9, I’m just happy he’s in the squad. I’m not coming at this from an angle of wanting Tommy back in the side because Smith should keep his spot for me (presuming he keeps this form up) but nobody can say Tommy hasn’t been worth his place or shouldn’t still be at the club. He’s been outstanding this season and we’re lucky to have 3 quality options in the halves and to not have the need to play a young centre at stand off, like Saints needed to do on Saturday.

But surely, if Tommy wasn't in the squad i.e if he retired, then "golden boy" would be our back up 7.

What are you suggesting here? Tommy shouldn't start, or he should have retired. That's two whole separate arguments imo.

Hopefully Smith carries on his recent good form and keeps Tommy out the team when he is available again. Hopefully Tommy will tutor Smith when he isnt playing
