Should we target Alex Johnston?

[Rabbits20]

We could of used him in the backline on Friday

Haha! Looks to me like you guys currently have a better back line than us with Souths missing Walker and Auva'a.

For what it is worth I reckon AJ will stay with Souths.

I have watched a fair bit of NSW cup and Jarrod McInally seems to be pretty good so far. Lets see how he goes.

At first glance I thought you said Jarrod McCracken :lol:

Anna did you used to post on rleague before it got turfed?

As a Souths fan I'd happily swap Johnstone for brett Morris. Don't get me wrong his a great young player but brett morris is a better fullback and winger

This.

Thank you...

You mean our halves who brought the Origin shield back to NSW?

Paul Gallen and Greg Bird were pretty much the halves pairing.

Alex Johnston would be a much better signing at this stage. He is a special talent.

Alex Johnston would be a much better signing at this stage. He is a special talent.

Forget it:

1. He won't leave Souths
2. He'll command big dollars
3. He's only shown potential at this early stage of his career, he still needs to live up to that
4. We have 2 wingers currently doing a good job, including Rona, the leading try scorer in the comp

I am happy with the backline options we have at present.
We currently have better depth at Fullback, Wing and in the centers than we have had for several years.
So there is no urgent need to sign anyone for those positions, we could replace some fringe players with good young relatively unknown players, if we can find them.

We also seem well off for forwards, and Lichaa is looking very promising at 9.
If we had to sign someone, additional depth in haves or at dummy half may be a higher priority.

To be honest, the main focus should be on retention and junior development at this stage.

If a quality player get shopped around we can always consider him, but typically the player is over priced and you don;t want to pay a high price unless you have no other choice.

Some good points there mate.

Still want to swap b.morris and Johnston bulldogs fans?

Aha I wanted him to replace Perrett but he's been great so far.
