Take a bow Tom Johnstone : Tue Sep 27, 2016 2:47 pm  
Having come back from a nasty injury I feared this would be the moment Tom lost his youthfull edge. I've seen it loads of times when a young player gets his first serious injury and is never the same again.

However though clearly not 100% fit Tom has lost none of his desire or bravery and is as ever scoring roughly a try a game. His pace is a bit off but a good closed season and further rehab should see that return though even now he's no slouch.

I always think it's the mark of a great player that they get over injuries both physically and mentally. I'm sure it's not an easy thing to do, one open age game and a smack in the chops from a still drunk yob was enough to put me off for life.

I'm glad TJ came back like he did. Bodes well for next year. Improvements to the team should in some way be aimed at getting him good ball.

Going to be a bit negative here and say if B.Tupou is Tom's centre, he may as well go and play RU, because he's not going to get any ball!

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

WTRLC 2012 to 2014 "The wasted years"

Magic Weekend "Whipping Boys" 2013, 2014 & 2015

2017 - The year the dream disappeared under Grix's right foot.

2018 - The FinniChezz Bromance

2019 - The return of the Prodigal Son.

2020 - Keeping the faith.

Must admit that's been my feeling since the Magic Weekend game but Tom has managed 3 scores in 4 appearances since his come back from injury. Clearly he's benefited from kicks and cut out passes that miss Tupou out of the build up.
Bet a high proportion of Denny Solomona's scores have had no input from his centre in the build up.

Spot on Wollo, most came from Gales booming passes missing his centre out. Tom will be even better next season :CLAP:
