He absolutely burned the Leeds outside backs to set Millers try up as well

Even at this early stage, i hope Wayne Bennett has a look at Tom, not as a definite but to add him to the train on squad, to give him a taster.
Hope the colour of his shirt doesnt hinder him.

When Yorkshire radio keep saying he is the most exciting prospect in super league and that if anyone gets the chance they should go and see him you know that it's only a matter of time before big money will be offered but I really hope we can keep him.
MOM performance with Simon close second IMO.

We had all seen Tom's attacking prowess in previous games and he was at it again, setting up Miller's try but, the work from his own wing on 3 occasions ranks as some of the best defence seen on a rugby field in many, many years.

Keep your feet on the ground Tom but, WOW, what a game today, thank you.

Firstly I will say I hope TJ is at Trinity for a good few years to come as the only way I can see him being allowed to leave is if Trinity go down.

It is early in his career however I am happy to say he proved me wrong and I am now a fully paid up member to the TJ fan club.

With Charnley seemingly going to Union I was asked the other day who I would prefer to replace him Carney or Johnson and I said Carney (who has been strongly linked to the move). After today however I think I would prefer Johnson even though I hope it doesn't happen.

He seems to love playing for Wakefield and a good few years at Belle Vue followed by a stint in the NRL I feel could be great for him. He certainly has the right style to play in the NRL.

Not sure if England Knights is a thing anymore but if it is he should be the first name on the team sheet. A full England call, even if a shirt may be a bit premature, would also be great for him and his development.

For those who have watched his development has he ever played Centre or Fullback?

Tom had another awesome game today however there is still some more to come from him, as people have mentioned he is still very grounded. I hope we can keep him playing well and in the RW&B but I agree with jonh in the aspect that Johnstone will eventually be picked up by an NRL team as he definitely has everything they want in their backs (pace, strength, in air ability and defence).
I thought he was MOM today for his two try saving tackles on JJB and ZH which I still dont have a clue where he come from as they thought so too! All they probably thought they had to do was put the ball down. I hope TJ keeps working hard as he will go all the way (If he keeps it up) and he deserves it!

This guy deserves all the recent accolades that he's been receiving. Hope he has the strength of character to not let it go to his head and develop some sort of prima donna (is that the right word) persona?. We've seen it before. Just carry on playing your natural game Tom and do your best for Trin!!

It was great vision of him for his pass to Miller, a lot of younger players there may have got try line fever.

His defence in the last couple of games has been outstanding.

A bit too early yet for England I feel, but certainly worth a shout for young Super League player of the year

If Wigan do actually make a move for him I hope we tell them where to go.

No, he didn't score it! He beat the entire Leeds team on his own, but then gave it to Mason who scored!

One of us has a corrupted memory!

We seem to suddenly have one of SL's hottest properties on our hands - hopefully MC will send any suitors packing and we'll get a few good seasons out of the lad before he makes his next move.

When talking to Mopsey a few weeks back he gave a name for players like Tom but I can't recall what it was. Basically he liked Tom but wasn't sure that his kind of player would make it because they didn't really know the fundamentals.

I think he was and please correct me if I'm wrong saying that Tom arrived in the game late and had a lot to learn. From what I undestand he joined Staningly quite late and was banged on the wing for obvios reasons and was then signed by us for the same reasons. I'm assuming this was the reason why some pundits thought he was suspect, especially with his defence and positioning.

Whether this is right or wrong it no longer matters as Tom has shown an incredible ability to learn (he's only 20!). So to answer your question, given time I reckon Tom could play anywhere in the back line. Better still in time he could easily move to S/O as per Graham Steadman and a few others. He's versatile not just because he's a great athlete but for the obvious (to me at least) fact that his greatest muscle is located between his ears.
