And here's me thinking it was just me

He means he'll be facing Niall Evalds.
He's a full back normally who is switching to wing (but he has done it before)
He's pretty fast but I'm not sure he is as fast as Johnstone but we'll see.

I'd love another fastest man of rugby league race now. I'm sure Johnstone would be in strong contention with Broughton.

Maybe as Tom's try took the media spotlight someone in SL or RFL might think it could be a good media opatunity

It's great to have a couple of genuine prospects on the team sheet who could be seen in the red white and blue for some time to come . I just think we should lay off a little and let them develop at their own speed. they both have talent enthusiasm and club spirit to burn . It's all pointing to a successful career but all it takes is a drop in form a stinker of a game and things can change . It's not a regular thing at our club and ever the most successful clubs have on occasions lost a youn talent due to demands and raising expectations . It was interesting that someone suggested Johnstone playing in the centre , I think that would be an excellent idea maybe with a season on two under his wing .

Why?

It doesn't seem to adversly affect young NRL players, in fact IMHO it's part of what makes them so good - don't undrstand this desire to wrap them up in cotton wool - men younger than Tom were fighting the battle of Britain seventy years ago. The best time to lay off them is when the dip comes assumung there is one but other than that I'm more than happy to praise them to the rooftops but that's just my opinion.

I'd leave him on the wing, he's got blistering pace and can beat a man, is strong and will get stronger. Same attributes as Martin Offiah and he didn't do too badly playing on the wing.
Tom has shown he can make tries for himself from 'nothing' so just imagine what he could do with a centre of the calibre of Gidley or Lyon (to name just two) inside him. Both of those two made Gardener a hatful of tries and I reckon Tom is far better than he was. I'd ask MC to save his pocket money for a few weeks and try to get in a top class centre.

I would be interested to see a back line of Crowther, Johnstone, BJB, Hall & Lynn because they have both skill and pace.

Crowther at F back? Do you mean Jowitt?

That's the interesting bit.

he played there many moons ago

INOUT

Superb again, he just goes out there and performs with no fear!!

No fear and a lot of confidence and belief. When he sees an opportunity he just goes for it believing he'll succeed which is just what you want from a wingman. Max Jowitt is now in the same mould.
