T js already a star and it doesn't follow that he will become an even better player at Wire or any other club for that matter.
Its been a tough time for him over the last couple of seasons but you can not wrap him up in cotton wool.
I wish him all the best what ever he decides.

I have no idea if true but it's a huge risk for Warrington, especially with a fee! Two ACLs, numerous other injuries, and an issue with a concussion.

If TJ wants out I can't blame him, he's paid us back many times over but as I say it's a risk for Warrington.

On their live Q and A show today Matthew Shaw and Aaron Bower stated that they had each been told by separate source that the Johnstone to Warrington rumour was (in their words) "fake news".
Personally I would say they are right much more often than that RL In The Know account.

I 100% agree with this. The lad has had stinking luck with injuries, I can’t see a team risking the investment in a player who has spent a long time on the sides with bilateral ACL repairs and now a meniscus Issue. Really feel for the lad. Hopefully we can get full seasons out of him.

Warrington are definitely the club that take risks time after time and good luck to them.
They are certainly looking to build a squad, great times for the fans.

Think you can file this one alongside the Jacob Miller rumour.

It's a sad thing to say but even we will have to weigh up the risks when TJ's contract comes up for negotiations.

He's worth every penny if we can get him fit but that's proving to be an issue.

For a club like us, Kershaw in many ways is a better signing. IMHO nowhere near TJ's ability but he's built to last it would appear and we need that from our players, we can make some allowance for a player of TJ's class but there comes a bottom line.

I to feel for the bloke, he's the real deal and has the bravery of a lion to come back from two ACL's but he needs some luck and a real run to get him back on track. It can happen but it's a risk for any club even a money bags club like Warrington.

Great signing this.

No guarantees but he's extremely quick with a great side step, a true winger.

If he develops properly he could easily be first-team within two years.

I got it wrong on monday night i daid 2 years

Talking about Wingers there’s another player who looks the business in championship. Seems to have pace to burn and can finish in the corner. Think in his last few games he’s scored 6/7 trys.

London winger Gideon Boafo. Only 22 but looks exactly the type of player who would be worth a punt imho. Very athletic player.

Be good if we could pick up a couple of young promising prospects from championship.

Sorry to ask, who/ where is Lewis Murphy from?
