His job isn't at risk, even if we lose this game.

Yep, Balmforth on the bench. Hookem playing reserves.

What justification can there be for him playing 7, what skills has he shown to say he can play 7.
If I was Hookem, I'd be fuming to be brought back from Whitehavem to sit in the stands and watch Johnstone play in his position.
Goes against what Hodgson said at the end of last season.
Very short term. thinking and another reason I don't think Hodgson is the coach to take us forward.'"
Have you ever found Johnstone alone with yours missus at some point

| Listening to the pre game press conference it'll be Houghton or JJ in the halves with Lovodua.
Sounds like Hookem hasn't had enough game time (down to his pre season injury) for BH to select him.

| Guess Hodgson has sussed there isn’t enough cash to sack him.

He probably not very good at that either
He's a average hooker and certainly not a halfback.
Happy for you to tell me what qualities he has to be a top hooker or halfback?
Apart from one kick against Leeds I can't remember a time o thought that was great play by Johnstone.
Rather than trying to funny, maybe offer something to the debate.

I agree re his hooking and half back credentials. But, in both the last two games he has played his part in the defensive effort and shown the odd glimpse of attack. Certainly contributed to both wins

| If Connor isn't playing like someone on here has alluded to then I can understand why he hasn't gone for hookem at 7 , Johnstone is a safe option ,will certainly tighten up defensively compared to Reynolds and end of the day it's a important 2 points to get and that is all that matters. If Mitch hadn't been called up then I'm sure shaul would have been fullback and hookem could well have started at 7

| Where has this Connor not playing rumour come from? Can only assume with JJ/Lovodua halves we're playing with three loose forwards and sending everything through Connor.

I agree but i can see him playing it safe using Houghton in the halves
As you say if that is the case why bring Hookem from his loan deal just to sit in the stands.
Now we have a strong forward line up this is an ideal game for Hookem play.
Hodgson makes some strange decisions at times especially when he leaves a player on the bench without game time

He does but win tomorrow and we are 4th having played everyone which isn't too shabby.
