Johnstone's 2nd try : Sat Mar 02, 2019 2:42 pm  

Dare I say that his second try last night was his best ever finish, and maybe one of the best ever in SL? The more I keep watching it the moe I'm convinced the scoring of that try was world class.

I've re watched it this morning and agree
His finishes are amazing
Tom is only going to get better too

What's more he does this week in and week out too
He is class and a pleasure to watch

That's really hard to say.
He's done so many it's hard to choose.

Even in the same game the 3rd was outstanding.
Brough and Miller need to put these up for him every game.

I wouldn't like to chose between that and many other acrobatic tries he's scored - and they're all world class.
One of the best wingers I've ever seen !

World class is the phrase to use.

He isn't the finished article and some wingers are better at other things but I have never seen a better finisher anywhere.

Devils advocate

The hundred yarders have dried up a bit though....

I'm certain he's being asked to work differently these days which doesn't put him in that position as often.

Both him and Bish are cats out the bag on kick returns or first up unfortunately.

Wouldn't change either of them for anybody.

Yeah the phrase is overused nowadays, but in Tom's case it fits the bill.
The lad is awesome and like you say not yet the finished article.
Let's enjoy!

His 3rd at Hull KR last year tops the lot for me. Just needs to keep doing what he is doing for us. On his way to the very top.

Because he scores so many spectacular tries, I hope this doesn’t get taken for granted.
If this was in the NRL we’d be hearing and seeing this all year.

it pains me to say this but I think we will be watching him in the NRL sooner than later...

every nrl scout watches the sky games over here every week

a couple of teams still have not got their 30 player squads .sorted for this year~
