Piss weak performance from Johnson who didn't run the ball to the line once. Brilliant defensive effort from the Cowboys. Bring on the final.

I suppose Shaun Johnson is now shit because he couldnt find the right play in an 18 minute game??

Halves are copping too much shit in these games. These games pressure halves to go for rosky plays due to how short they are and how quickly points can be scored, or need to be scored. At the end of the day alot of what wins games are flukey plays and what might win one game, could cost you the next.

Good effort by the Cowboys, Warriors seemed to run out of ideas.
Wonder how many are leaving before the final game..:lol:

To be fair, a lot of the hype around the Warriors is because of him. So if he doesn't rock up, he will get some of the blame.

The game was designed for him. But at the end of the day he is still only human and can only do so much. If the risky plays dont go your way, what can he do?

The loss is on Shaun Johnson no matter how you dice it up (he takes 70% of the blame here). You take the good with the bad as NRL half especially in this format of the game. This doesn't make Shaun Johnson labelled a s##t player though yet again he fails in getting his team across the line.

Johnson ain't clutch. He ain't a Queensland type player. Johnson is a talent who needs to find the clutch gene when his team needs it him to deliver at club and international level.
