Don’t agree with that. The injury list is pretty large at the moment and that’s a factor. Trinity players are finding different ways to win although sometimes it’s not pretty.

You play to your strengths and that’s down the middle but we have scored many tries on the edges with good plays so I can’t agree with your thoughts here.

As for McGillvray. I think he’s just been rushed back for Wembley and it appears it’s his arm still that’s the issue. I’m sure he’s wanting to get on the pitch and has been a workhorse when he’s played so he’s worth it based ok that. While we have Walmsley and Olpherts though McGillvray can focus on getting right for the business end.






Top six 2005 - Trinity.

I'm not sure why people think liking Olpherts on the wing is bagging Walmsley.
Two good players with different styles that's all.

All players use clubs as a pay check, what a daft thing to bash one player about.

Wouldn't worry me too much if we didn't see McGiivray again until the playoffs. Those games will be crucial for the IMG bonus points.

I bet Gill is looking down that list to see who's available.

Gets in team of week then not playing again. Also just seen Daniel Tupou signs a 2 year contract extension. I thought if Tupou moved on that Murphy was going to get a shot it would be when the Giraffe moved on. This only says to me they either think Lewis isn't ready or will possibly release him. Got to be frustrated playing superleague and probably a starter each week for several teams to playing reserves and not always getting a game. Hope we do have a first dibs on him if does return.

There’s a plethora of 1-5 that haven’t made it in the NRL, that’s to say if he doesn’t get a gig over there. There’s been a lot better more established players come back to SL because it’s not worked out for them. Competition will be incredible over there compared to over here especially in a quality side like the roosters.

Murphy was never going to be a starter for the Roosters, even during Origin period. The purpose of him moving over there is for development and to sit under the learning tree of all their current stars and coaching staff. I know it sounds like it defeats the object saying this, but playing Rugby League won't always make you a better player, him playing 25-30 games for Trinity this season wouldn't have been as good for his development as playing 5-10 games in the NSW Cup and being within the Roosters environment.

With Dominic Young, Daniel Tupou, Joseph Sua'ali'i, Mark Nawaranitawase, Junior Pauga, Ethan King, Tyreece Tait and even Joey Manu ahead of you - you have to pray for a miracle to get a chance in that first team.

He has also been injured for a good chunk of the season and the Roosters NSW Cup team hasn't gone so well this season, (currently 12th / 13), so he's doing fine and I wouldn't be worrying about him too much. Although it would be nice to see him back, even just sitting as a spectator in the Roosters squad is beneficial.
