Also, don’t want to sound harsh but I would’ve thought an NRL club would wait to see if he could have a relatively injury Free season.

Tom`s agent would be doing him a disservice if he stays in Rugby League. Without doubt he should move to Rugby Union, he is an amazing athlete with all the qualities to make it in RU. financially it would be a no brainer. The RFU would finance the transfer fee and blow Leeds or NRL club out of the water, remember they paid £ 500,000 transfer fee to Cas for Solomona, the RFU would also assist any of the RU Prem clubs with his wages. The money he could earn in RU would surpass anything he could earn in the NRL. I also think that he has the talent to gain international honors with England RU. I am sure that Tom will be on Eddie Jones radar, they would be mad not to make a play for him.

I’m not sure what would be worse - Going to RU or going to Leeds. First and foremost Tom should stay in RL. As it would pain me to see him in a Leeds shirt going down the line to score against us (remember Nigel Wright taking that intercept at Wigan and changing the game against us - it hurts) I’d support a move3 to NRL.

If I recall correctly there was a lot of chatter about St George sniffing around Tom 2 years ago after he scored 25 tries...

Players like TJ should be winning trophies, He hasn't got any chance of that at Wakefield . I suspect a few more will want to go. It can't be fun languishing at the bottom of the table with no signs of it getting any better. We have to be smarter but no-one has a clue what is needed at our club.

You do talk some twaddle at times. There is only one place that’s the NRL.

He must stay in league would be wasted in union and wasted going to a backwards going leeds team nrl his only real option of choice either sharks playing off sean johnson or raiders playing off wighton and williams would be best fit for his style of play and how those teams play

They paid no transfer fee whatsoever for Solomona, Cas had to fight an expensive legal battle to get compensation out of the RU club he moved to (sorry forgot which club it was).

Sale I think. You’re correct, there is no official transfer gateway between League and Union. It’s discretionary and we all know what that means to Union clubs.
