It wasn't the best defending and if Trinity had conceded that try I'd be fuming but I take your point. Manfredi stepped a few Saints players in broken play and he was hailed as having great feet.

Only said to a mate 5 mins before he scored that try that your winger had played well all the game. If that had been a for a top club Sky would be raving about it. Very well taken and glad he got MOTM for you.
Congrats on the win too. Well deserved.

To be fair to sky they do make a big deal of the try on their site!
Tom is a joy to watch.
I've watched Trinity since 1960 and seen some great wingers, Prinsloo, Hirst, Fred Smith and Coetzer to name a few. Tom Johnstone is the only winger I have seen playing for us in donkeys years with the potential to be as prolific as the ones I name.
I make no apology for naming only 60's wingers - for me they were the best I've ever seen.

Don't forget Berwyn Jones.

Ah yeah! Give him the ball with an inch to spare and it was a certain try!

Best winger I've seen until his bottle went was Keith Slater

Slater was good no doubt about it but he wasn't round for long enough.

If Tom was wearing a Wigan, Leeds, Wire or Saints jersey, the whole RL world would be raving about his 2 tries but, as it's "only" Wakefield it's not quite as good.

Moments like Sunday make the suffering as a Trin fan worth while.
Apart form Andy Wilson going 90 metres against Bradford ?, I cant remember a try like that by anyone in a Wakefield shirt in the last 30 years.
He made the defence look crap by his strength, agility, pace and power.
I'm fairly sure that all of them wanted to tackle him.

I haven't seen nothing but praise for his second try? As for the first, that's an excellent pass from Jowitt to put him over.

Last try I can remember setting the house on fire like Tom's 2nd was against Bradford in Super League. Tadulala broke from our 20m line and fed Ben Jeffries about 20 m from the Bradford line. Jeffries then bedazzled the Bradford cover before going over.

Richard Moore's against Wigan, when Calderwood didn't want anything to do with him was a recent classic.

The long range try that brings a smile to my face is mike wainwrights vs saints in the 2004 season. It was an interception on our own line but the last 10m were done penguin style after he shrugged off a last ditch tackle, leaving his shorts round his ankles.

That was a quality game, 41-22, also remember a tadulala try that seemed to bring the house down in the benedorm flats.
