If the figures I heard are correct he'd be insane to knock it back. Even the parra fans at work don't expect him to say no to them.

Apparently he just wants whats fair after seeing what Watmough,Hopoate etc were on at parra,if parra offers around $450-500k a year he would probably stay.

what's he on at parra?

About $250k considering Johnson got close to 500k from souths,Hopoate was on anything from 650-800k at parra,Rts 800k at the warriors,Copley was even supposedly on more than Radradra you cant blame him for wanting more.

Where did you get that figure from? Seems a huge amount for a winger that had played 27 games at the time of signing.

I'd like Semi to stick around for the right price. But we're not going to break the bank for a winger. Good luck to him.

He was chasing that as a fullback, no one took him up because he's untested there

Last year, after the roosters lost RTS to the Warriors, they were rumoured to be offering alex johnston 500k to join the roosters as a fullback. Alex Johnston was said to have been a pretty good fullback in the juniors and was his preferred position. After a few games at fullback in G.I's absence it was shown he is a far way off being a first grade standard fullback, so i doubt he's on 500k

I bet he wouldnt be far off it though,souths would have had to be in the same ballpark as the roosters offer for him to re-sign.

What ever they are paying him its to much, a kid who can run fast but not much more in his kit bag

A taller Merrit at this stage....he is still young plenty of time for him to develop into a great FB.

AJ has only just turned 21 this month, so he will probably get bigger and better. He is already a good finisher. I have heard that he has put on more muscle during the off season. He is a good winger, but I don't really like him at fullback at this stage.
