2 years ago today Tom scored a HT against Widnes in the Under 19's in a 38-26 win.
Another 4 tries for Tom yesterday, great to see the club saw the potential in him and got him signed up on a long deal.

The sky really is the limit for this kid.

Trinity Heritage is focusing on him at the moment.
He's on 22 tries in 27 appearances. 81.48 % strike rate.
That compares very well to the best in the game. Hope he keeps it up.

Should be a shoe in for one of the England wing spots with Manfredi on the other. I'm praying Bennet doesn't have any Amber and blue tinted spectacles like his predecessor.

I don't think he'll get in this time round. Unless we get in to the 8 have a run in the big games. Seeing him in big pressure games will be the key for him, and I'm not sure the rest of the team are quite there yet.
But World Cup is a decent target.

Made us look better than we were yesterday - the lad really is the whole package; strength, speed, agility and most of all, a great reader of the game. Those wingers tries take more doing than it sometimes appears, and the decision to go through, around, under or over is made in a fraction of a second. The most exciting player at BV in many a season.

As for England - too soon in my view; exactly the kind of thing that could be a speed-bump in his development. If he carries on at this rate though, he'll be nailed on for future selection.

He's a match winner, you can't put a price on that - helped save our blushes yesterday.

Schofield doesn't see him in good enough form to make it into the current form team



but a half back in a team propping up the league does

Charnley leaving bothers me. Although MC has said he's not for sale, eventually you get a price you can't turn down.

Agree with the above, especially your point about England. Saying that I think it'd do his confidence & game the world of good to be in and around the England Squad this year.

Is this the same Johnstone that some of our forum experts criticised the club for first giving him a four year contract and made it an important announcement rather than a new signing.

Don't forget they wanted to put him out on loan as well

.

On the field, yes I'll give you that but he isn't going to get many modelling jobs with a face like that.

P S, don't tell him I said so.
