Tom Johnstone

Not good.

Wakefield are standing Tom Johnstone down for four weeks due to repeated concussions. A big blow. Chris Chester has just confirmed Lee Kershaw will get an opportunity to stake a claim in Johnstone's place.

He's either very unlucky or plain soft although I'd be very concerned about repeated concussions. Has he actually suffered quite a serious one that hasn't been detected?

Thankfully he's been taken out of the firing line for four weeks at least and I hope it allows a full recovery.

You can’t be too careful with player welfare, if and hopefully it’s if, then I’d hope to see him wearing head gear.

Can’t remember him having many head knocks.
Though I don’t always take note on what other club players do.

Absolutely Piquad1, a comment born out of ignorance, both his last two head injuries were pretty hefty and his last two long term injuries were cruciate ones I believe....

Said he'd be in England squad if he stayed fit but he's like a tampon, in for a week out for three.

Yet when people have offered an alternative opinion to yours, you’ve gone off on a toddler like rant? Is the irony of that lost on you?

Just thought the comment was a bit harsh. Not having a go at anyone just saying. But if my comment has upset you at all Tough.

He caught a swinging arm from grub Isa didn't look much but caught him rate on the end of his chin them ones can turn your lights out
On another note about head knocks Kenny-Dowell clashed heads with a team mate got up on wobbly legs three Hudds men had to hold him up straight and he was allowed to continue the sports asking for trouble not making players come off who get up wobbling about

Think it was when he went for the corner at the end of the 1st half, when tackled into touch he banged the back of his head on the floor on the way down. Didn't come out in the 2nd half as a precaution.

I also believe that if he has suffered a recurrence of a recent concussion then the protocol is much more stringent. Something I heard on a podcast with a physio? Can't remember meself, good job I'm not playing in the near future 😂
