Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"

I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

He's getting mixed up with Marshall, an easy mistake to make if your clueless.

I hope that happens soon. The weakening of Wakefield's on field capabilities will ensure the club's demise, because off field they are a bad joke.

Davies plays on the right anyway, McGillvary will be 33 by the next world cup, so who knows there.

Can't go picking Johnstone after Brexit, he wasn't even born in Britain!

Whoever replaces them, Hall and McGillvary have provided the template for good international wingers, with size and strength now vital. Sad to say but we are a long way beyond the days when the likes of Jason Robinson would be anything other than a liability in international RL.

Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.

Thomas Makinson is better than both those mentioned. He can also play anywhere across the back line but whT really sets him apart is that unlike the 2 mentioned he knows how to defend. Lineham in particular is shocking. It would be unfair to a speed bump to label him as such

Makinson is a decent player but as good as Johnstone? Never was never will be.

Have to say Jean your attempt to denigrate a good young player Witt fake news is low even for you.

So where are the stats that say Johnstone can't defend? Proof please.

I've watched him play four games since returning from a dreadfull injury.

He's scored 7 tries, was at fault for one try and missed one heavily contested high ball. If Makinson or any other winger has better stats than that both in attack and defence please name him.

Personally I don't think Toms quite ready yet and I'm happy with both Hall and McGillvery for now.

However any sane person can see Johnstone is an international in the making and a genuine star performer.

Instead of being a jelouse low life why not embrace a great young player for what he is and give him the chances he's clearly earning instead of spreading malicious lies you rotten little piece of pond life.

Please explain why, I don't agree.
In so far as Robinson himself who was a poor tackler, I'd agree, but a fast, agile winger who can compete in the air, has good positioning and has courage and technique in the tackle is as valid today as it's ever been.

If you think that being 'small' is a problem then you only need look at certain international wingers in the not too distant past, I remember when Jonah Lomu was apparently going to smash the SA winger and centre (Japie Mulder) all over the show in the 1995 WC, he didn't get a sniff.

Show me how many big wingers make block busting tackles on the pitch or on the line to stop other big wingers, it doesn't happen that often, why, because they are out of position or too slow or simply are micturate poor tacklers.
