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

I think he means you playing there, not Jordan.

INOUT
I bet there's worse out there

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.

Well done (again) Tom, magnificent effort all over the park and a couple of quality finishes

The RL world are now taking a lot of notice of Tom.

Another brilliant game from Tom. I really hope we can hold onto Tom, Max, Jordan & our other young guns. We have to hold on to them and stop being the club that sells all our talents to the highest bidders. These players = better gates & higher table position and therefore a club in a better financial position. For Wakefield Trinity to ever re live our glory years we have to stop loosing our most talented players to the so called bigger clubs. Don't your weekends feel so much sweeter for the win.

Great performance again from TJ; and it's no surprise to see Reece Lyne hot-stepping his way over either - young lads with drive and ambition inspire more experienced players to up their game. If we can avoid any bad news or disasters for the coming weeks, this could be the most significant change in culture at the club in many a year.

Hat trick for TJ and MOM for MJ just as it should have been..MJ was immense under those high balls that Salford kept aiming at him.

I thought Johnstone was magnificent, such confidence from a young man and every try well taken. Of the others they all played a part, the game management second half when we were under the cosh was superb. When they were only 4 behind on 67 minutes I thought we might get undone but credit to them all for their scrambling defence and putting the game to bed at the end with 2 more well taken tries. At last we're looking like a team and everyone is working hard, big raps to all 17 today and for Chris Chester's continued game planning.

I believe we have already received a substantial offer but rejected in no uncertain terms.

So I have heard too. Wigan apparently.

As a none subscriber to sky sports i'm curious as to what the buffoons on there had to say about us. Was it all about the poor Salford performance or did we get some credit?

I just hope we can keep saying no. The sky team seemed quite complimentary although I was more interested I'm the vision rather than the sound

Manfred will be due a big payrise. If Wigan can fit a much in demand Johnstone into there squad then I'd be surprised. Not many clubs have a lot of salary cap tied up on both wingers.

I think he'll end up at Hull (no offence Wakey fans) ID love him at Saints but we have zero ambition.

Yes Wigan was the team apparently

Manfredi only signed a new 4 year deal 12 months ago so doubt anything will be done there for a while. With Charnley and Sarginson going salary cap won't be a problem for them. We ain't selling though so it isn't a problem.

I think he would benefit from having Hall in the centre, Arundle is solid but I think Hall is the better ball player.

Think we said that about Nigel Wright.....
