and if Hull lose by more than 53, they are bottom of SL.

Johnstone if he plays will get at least 3 tonight. Watching FC they have no structure in defence and their coaching pappears non existant.

Probably not 100% but they may have risked him if playoffs were still a possibility.

Hopefully he’s fully fit and ready to go come pre season.

Hope it’s nothing serious.

Maybe him and TJ ore on a plane as far away from Catalans as they can get. As a team they’ve proper limped to the finish line this season.

Wonder why the BBC never bothered to advertise the fact that it was being shown live on the iPlayer?Suppose it just shows how much regard for RL they have. In truth if you take out the emotion of it being Houghton's last game, he truly has been a magnificent servant to Hull FC and RL, it was a really poor quality game. I think it just strengthens the argument that all the games in the final round of the regular season should start at the same time, but being realistic Sky are never going to let this happen unless it suits their scheduling and the RFL hasn't got the balls to stand up to them to make it happen

Tom has been dropped from the England squad, which has been cut from 31 to 24. Presumably the management don't feel that he has recovered sufficiently from his broken tibula.

Re: Tom Johnstone : Wed Oct 16, 2024 2:26 pm  

Selfishly I don't mind too much. Should be fully recovered by the time Trinity get in the gym for pre-season, and desperate to get back in Wane's squad next year

I don’t mind that either. He’s back fit but be tough going into an international with no games for a few months.

Ashton is a decent stand in to be fair but the back line with Ashton and Newman especially looks a bit understrength.

Still can’t wait to see TJ pull the short back on! He could score 30 + next season if we get it right on that left edge. Even Walmsley will add some pace and agility on the right as he can hunt some try’s too. Some players just have that ability.
