Interestingly going off strike rate alone...

1 Tom Johnstone 1.2 games per try
2 Jermaine McGillvray 1.44 games per try
3 Tommy Makinson 1.7 games per try

Obviously there’s a lot more to it than that but makes you think.

All three are world class IMO.

Not yet, but he’s getting there sadly.

Aaaaaaand hes injured again.

Said it before hes body just isnt up to the rigours of beeing a professional.

Time to call it a day Tom and think of the long term health implications. At the end of the day its a game and your family is more important.

Whatever happens with Johnstone, it’s sad to see him injured again and the continuing troubles he’s having. As a country we need all the top class players we can get, especially outside backs as entertaining as Johnstone. We lost one in Manfredi and I have everything crossed Johnstone doesn’t go the same way.

He's being rested due to being knocked out vs Hudds. Not an injury as such but not worth risking in last 2 games.

Just to add he's been given the all clear to play, but as above he'd had three concussion's this year so his welfare is more important, have a long off season with his young child and come back next year refreshed, and hopefully free of the aftereffects of banging his head on the floor pretty damn hard.
