Which Thomas will replace Ryan Hall for England next WC?

Quote: vastman "Right back at you Nicky. In the last four years according to you every player who stands on the Wigan wing for more than five minutes is a future international, it's frickin boring.

I'm biased to Johnstone of course I am but for me he's the first winger Trinity have had in forty years who I reckon MAY be good enough to play international - he's probably the first player since Ellis. According to your myopic view if there on the wing at Wigan they are all future internationals and unfortunately you're not alone which explains why the England team isn't picked on form and why we never win. At least I'm discerning, not every Wigan player is a star and all clubs have one or two players who are better than what Wigan have. Even an 11 year old can see that

Did he mention that Marshall was good enough? No, didn't think so.
So he hasn't mentioned every Wigan Winger of the last 4 years.
As for not being alone in a Myopic view I fail to see how different England coaches either picking or not picking Wigan players or certain other players has anything to do with us Winning or losing international tournaments.
The truth is "We haven't been good enough" & I'm pretty sure that no matter which players we'd picked it wouldn't have made much difference.

A crying shame that he’s missed nearly 20 months of rugby now.'"

Seriously he wasn't as good as that and no he wouldn't have pushed Hall. A one season wonder I'm afraid. Sorry but I doubt he'll play again, 20 month is to long to be away from the game.'"

And I'm afraid this reply is very poor
Firstly he was that good - He was a shoe in for the 2016 Tri Nations
Secondly the OP had already said " I’d love to think Dominic Manfredi could get himself back and playing at the levels he was reaching in 2015 and 2016. If he could then he’d push Hall all the way."

He never said he would get back to that level, he never said he was better than Hall
But in your over eager attempt to promote Tom Johnstone you've not actually understood the context of the post and then gone on the attack.

If I were picking 4 wingers now it would be Hall, McGilvarry , Johnstone & T Davies - Fast forward 2/3 years and I would bet the first 2 won't be getting any better whilst the younger 2 Should - Wasn't that the whole purpose of the thread?
