Ryan Hall could well be still playing for England at 34, he won’t have lost any of his power or ability to catch the high ball.

Tom Johnston is certainly a talented player though and I expect him to be England’s 3rd choice winger in 2018, if Hall or McGilvary lose form or become injured Johnston will play.

Tom Davies is far too small to play at international level.

You mean if the thread had not been started by a non-Englishman? How would that have made it more interesting?

You must be a supporter of UKIP.

Ethnonationalist swine!

In my humble opinion, Oscar Thomas.

Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Mason Caton-Brown is a young Enfield (London)-born and London Broncos raised product, who will naturally be attracted back to London Broncos if they join Super League in the near future

Pio Bill Tupou is a centre or full back, not a winger. He will not be moved to wing if Thomas Johnstone goes elsewhere.

Anthony Gigot, who has not played rugby league for a year (thanks to a ludicrous ban now quashed), did quite nicely on his first game back. Expect Anthony Gigot and David Mead to make great metres and score many tries (Mead already has three tries) once Michael McIlorum and and Paul Aiton return to fitness and playing for Catalans.

All of these facts are well-known to any Carcassonne-based rugby league fan.'"


Bill Tupou has never played full back certainly in the last 3 years for us. He has been employed from time to time on the wing, including a memorable hat trick away at Wigan last season.

Hope that helps

He's getting mixed up with Marshall, an easy mistake to make if your clueless.

Davies plays on the right anyway, McGillvary will be 33 by the next world cup, so who knows there.

Can't go picking Johnstone after Brexit, he wasn't even born in Britain!

Whoever replaces them, Hall and McGillvary have provided the template for good international wingers, with size and strength now vital. Sad to say but we are a long way beyond the days when the likes of Jason Robinson would be anything other than a liability in international RL.

Thomas Makinson is better than both those mentioned. He can also play anywhere across the back line but whT really sets him apart is that unlike the 2 mentioned he knows how to defend. Lineham in particular is shocking. It would be unfair to a speed bump to label him as such

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.

Please explain why, I don't agree.
In so far as Robinson himself who was a poor tackler, I'd agree, but a fast, agile winger who can compete in the air, has good positioning and has courage and technique in the tackle is as valid today as it's ever been.

If you think that being 'small' is a problem then you only need look at certain international wingers in the not too distant past, I remember when Jonah Lomu was apparently going to smash the SA winger and centre (Japie Mulder) all over the show in the 1995 WC, he didn't get a sniff.

Show me how many big wingers make block busting tackles on the pitch or on the line to stop other big wingers, it doesn't happen that often, why, because they are out of position or too slow or simply are micturate poor tacklers.
