Yes I noticed that. I’d rather this situation be done and dusted as it’s turning into abit of a bizarre fiasco, he has a slight injury, travels to France yet not playing Friday.

Of course. That's exactly what it is.

Please explain then the logic behind Charnley leaving Warrington means Wakefield have a better chance of retaining TJ.

You would assume a moderator would be able to back up his comment when questioned rather than having a little sulk.

Getting worse than your mate.

Sorry. I actually meant it really was wishful thinking. I wasn't being sarcastic. That was my fault for not putting a smiley on or something.

What is becoming increasingly obvious is this is becoming a real mess it is affecting the fans, looks to be affecting him with him deleting his social media accounts and is potentially affecting the coaches and team.

I personally hope these “injuries” are all time buying whilst one or 2 clubs are making a move for him now whilst we negotiate a fee and line up a replacement for a release ASAP rather than the end of the season. Hopefully we are not playing him to keep him at low risk of getting injured so it does not scupper and deal.

Said it many times, he is a wonderful player but a club like Trinity cannot have the biggest earners on the cap sat in the stands most weeks.

Toms out of contract, he’s clearly not staying wether it’s Catalans Warrington or NRL I wish him well.

Although world class when he’s fit our priority has to be a forward that plays week in week out and can lead the front row

I’ve just been listening to the Pre Leeds interview with Pouching, and I’m sure something doesn’t add up re Johnson. He mentioned the injury and said it was done in training, not cleared up yet and giving him an extra rest with the C final break.
The next question by the interviewer was “what is the specific nature of the injury” A pause by Willie, looked skyward and mumbled, “a groin injury I think” not a very convincing explanation,
just my opinion of course.

It would appear they don’t exactly know the extent of the injury but hope to have him back after the cup final break.
It is now believed he has signed a multi year deal with Catalan.

Just been confirmed in the news that Tom has signed a contract with Catalan

Is it actually a bad thing though? He’s not getting any younger and I could be wrong here but doesn’t he seem to be injured more than he plays?

Well it was nice whilst it lasted.

It is for you, you'll not be able to compare him with Tommy Makinson now while having a dig at us.

Oh well. Thanks Tom.
Let's move on.

I have never compared him with Makinson because there is no comparison. One is elite level and golden boot and numerous times super league winner , whilst the other is a good super league winger. You will find it’s Wakefield fans trying to convince themselves he is in the same class as Makinson so try and compare the two. My point was it must be frustrating as a Wakefield fan when he’s in and out of the team due to injuries, who must be on a decent wedge so it could free up some money to sign the other Fifita who would be a quality signing

Don’t blame him for leaving we are an ambitionless club

So let's make that your last post on the subject. We dont need you to tell us what is and isnt frustrating for a Wakefield fan.
You need to be on the Catalan board now.

Has there been an official announcement by either Trinity or Catalans? I’ve not seen any thing to confirm the signing.

I thought the same tbh

Not as far as I know.
But no one is contesting the statements being made either.

There has been no announcement from either club but it has happened.

Good luck to him. Nice fella and fantastic player!

No need to take your frustration out on me when everyone else has commented on the subject. I just gave my opinion on a forum that is for opinions. I just replied to someone that quoted me. The fact you pulled me up on it but no one else just shows you up as an Internet bully

If it's happened then so be it.
Like many I'd be disappointed, but the club is bigger than Tom and we move on.
We're very lucky we have another TJ in the making in Lewis Murphy.

Looks like he has signed for Catalan for next season

With your past history you can understand why

Now close the door on the way out
