Anyhow surely it wouldn't harm us giving MCB a game against Widnes? Maybe BJB was the wrong suggestion for him to replace. Feel sorry for the lad, a bit like Jowitt when Grix was fit he's not getting a look in whether fairly or harshly.
I get people feel sorry for MCB as do I but he is the 3rd best winger at the club if only marginally and he’s still very good.
He will most likely be leaving also which makes it even more difficult to put him in.
If he were to be put in deffo for bjb for me. Defensively the right side get exposed a lot more than the left certainly this season from what I’ve seen. The reason I wouldn’t swap bjb is although I think defensively he has lapses he scores the try’s to make up for it.

Stick with Tom and Bjb for me.
It’s not marginal, he’s decent enough bit imo he’s a very distant third even though his try scoring record suggests otherwise before pop tart offers a statistic.

We'll see how distant MCB is next season at some point!
We need BJB just for the intercepts alone, all things being equal if there has to be a winger interchange, I'm looking at the other wing tbh. Not that I'd take a niggle free TJ out, but BJB is the more productive atm. Can't see MCB busting either out the way unless they have a stinker or an injury. Anyway, speaking of repetitive big plays like intercepts, Pauli Pauli is on a 4, wonder what the bookies are giving..

Right now BJB is above TJ for me never mind MCB.

Your anti Johnstone bias is well known but on current form I suppose you may be right, you must be delighted. However what has that got to do with MCB!

Didn't have you down as a sentimentalist squire, without the ins and outs of the matter had he not refused a new contract I could have a bit more sympathy for him and maybe agreed with you, but unless injured you have to play your best two even though I'm sure he would not let us down, they're wingers not forwards and don't need a rest choose who the opposition is.
