Indeed. Good for him though I'm surprised as they just got the other guy from NRL.

Can’t say I m not dissapointed as Murphy and Johnson would have been the dream. But Matt Ellis has done us proud with the signings he’s made so good luck Lewis hope it goes well

Well that’s disappointing as he would have been a good long term signing for a homegrown player too.

I wonder if we did have first option on him on his return or not but he would certainly have been a good addition for the future.

Who knows, maybe we will try jump in and secure his signing yet.

As far as I can tell we still only have two wingers signed next season.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.

Surprised as I thought we would have been able to sign Murphy up on the same basis as we signed Johnstone?
Therefore easily outbidding any other interested parties… stains have either paid big bucks or we were not prepared to go mad on his wages..

Seems that way. Shame really as the lad has a lot of potential to be almost as good a winger as Johnstone.

I suppose it depends if we offered him a contract before he left like with Shaw, Croft. Up till they were 23 we were due a fee I think.

Suppose depends on the contract but we could be. Rather have seen him back though. We only have 2 x wingers next season signed afterall so are very light there.

Which kinda suggests Murphy wouldn't be top of our list as we have other positions to fill.

I’m perfectly fine with TJ and Walmsley next season. Both can score tries given half an opportunity and Walmsley has steadily improved through the season in his carries so I think that’s a good set of wingers for next season.

Perhaps Booth and maybe Rourke will offer back up next season in a number of back positions.
