Quote: vastman "Makinson is a decent player but as good as Johnstone? Never was never will be.
Have to say Jean your attempt to denigrate a good young player Witt fake news is low even for you.
So where are the stats that say Johnstone can't defend? Proof please.
I've watched him play four games since returning from a dreadfull injury.
He's scored 7 tries, was at fault for one try and missed one heavily contested high ball. If Makinson or any other winger has better stats than that both in attack and defence please name him.
Personally I don't think Toms quite ready yet and I'm happy with both Hall and McGillvery for now.
However any sane person can see Johnstone is an international in the making and a genuine star performer.
Instead of being a jelouse low life why not embrace a great young player for what he is and give him the chances he's clearly earning instead of spreading malicious lies you rotten little piece of pond life.'"
Makinson is better than Johnstone and it may be unpopular but Johnstone is overrated. Good going forward but defensively he is poor, you only need to watch the game against Salford and in particular Salfordās last try, way too far inside. As for tries scored, majority of that is down to how the team plays as well as the quality of centre inside of the winger. Would Eden have scored the amount of tries last season if he was playing for Widnes? Makinson, Davies, McGillvary and Hall are all better than Johnstone and you could argue the case for a few others as well.
