Clearly he’s on the wind up (about Johnstone) whereas myself and others who’ve mentioned potential wing options haven’t been.
Tom Johnstone looks very good and it’s so pleasing to see him come back from a very serious injury the way he is doing currently. He may well play for England one but he has some decent competition going forward. The two lads who have the shirts will take some shifting but he looks in pole position to do so.
Had Dom Manfredi not got injured in 2016 I suspect Johnstone (and probably McGillvary) would be trying to shift him out of a shirt. It’s all irrelevant now though sadly as the lad has been massively unlucky.

| Quote: Shifty Cat "icon_eek.gif I would hope he has got some acrobatic tries because every decent SL winger should have that skill in their nal, but the fact according to you he's only scored about half a dozen in around 170 games, tells you something. As for him being the first, care to back it up with anything.
Johnstone scored about half a dozen acrobatic tries in his first full season, for what it's worth.
What also tells you something is that Makinson's scored about 100 tries in those 170ish games, whereas Johnstone (playing in a poorer side) has about 46 in 57 games.
Anyway, if you're also happy with his record, which in the last 56 games he's scored just 15 tries, which is the last 2 years and this so far, ![]()
Having watched some of his tries I’ve probably been harsh, he’s probably scored closer to 15 acrobatic tries (the first being against a Leeds in 2012) but he rarely scores a walk in. His tries are of much higher quality than Johnstones. There’s no way you can possibly use how many tries they’ve scored to back up your argument, the amount of tries wingers score is based on the service they get and the way their team plays. It’s well known we’ve not played very expansive stuff over the past 6 years or so and Makinson (and the right side in general) hardly gets any ball. Makinson is better in every aspect except speed.

Jodie Broughton  Now you really are being ridiculous! |
