Collis was a wingers wet dream.

| I dont agree that the club let him down.
OK, Trinity weren't able to have a team of superstars around him and he picked up some injuries but, they treated him well and let him go at the right time (maybe we didn't have much choice there).
Having said that, they brought him on very, very well and certainly helped him become the player that he is.
The comments about him being used as a bettering ram are wrong, he plays just the same role at Catalan, as does Davies on their right wing - it's part of the game.
Maybe the difference is that Johnstone is a "marked man" and attracts a little bit of extra attention from opposition sides.
I hope that he scores a hat trick in the GF and gets MoS, the guy is box office.

| We certainly did not let Tom down and yes he was used last night to bring the ball away just as he was at Wakefield and as all modern wingers are.

| Apparently he needs one more try this season to equal the club record set by Morgan Escare. That would be quite an achievement in his first season

I don't so much think the club did, more like the coaches especially Chester. In some games we only got the ball to him 3/4 times at most and we had no set plays to get him in the game. FFs he was almost certainly our best player in SL and we didnt have the gorm to even attempt to utilise his ability half the time, it used to drive me crackers.

| He played some games he shouldn't have on the back of head injuries IMO.
He was knocked out one week, then next week he knocked him self out diving over the try line against Catalan.

| Really looking forward to the Grand Final,and Tom in particular.Hope he can shine on the big stage and show everyone what a marvellous player he is,which we at Trinity,of course,have known for a long time.Who knows, he may not be the fastest player on show today with French and Field playing for the Pies,but for finishing in the corner, or anywhere else for that matter,or leaping high for a kick at the line, he is the best, imo.I only hope that his,slightly greedy centre, gives him the ball!

| For the biggest match of the season I thought it was a very disappointing,below par spectacle,devoid of any real quality,and if that's the best our game can come up with, then I think we really are in trouble.Absolute stinker compared to the Aussie final.Can't imagine anyone else apart from Wiganers enjoying it.

Poor game throughout and an awful spectacle for the showpiece event. Tom went well defensively though and gave a performance that will be very handy for him moving forward given it was a misguided perceived weakness in his game. Crowd was announced as about 58,000.
