Andrew Johns Retires - It's Official

[Brutus]

he's a very, very unfortunate looking man

gee this is a boring press conference to be honest

:lol:

You got that right. Now Smithy's waffling on.

To be honest I think Joey's over playing RL anyway. He was around the time of almost signing with union. Hardly a convincing press conference Joe boy!

 

[ocko]

is it still not on fox sports news?

 

[El Diablo]

nope

 

[raiders fan forever]

Ill miss watching Andrew play but all the best for the future Joey

 

[ocko]

lol, pretty incredible that it's not on a 24 hour sports news channel

on sky news i'm watching it

Very sad indeed. Andrew Johns is one of the true champions of our game. It's unfortunate that he has had to go out like this, but there are something's more important than footy.

Good Luck Mr. Johns, you will be missed.

 

[Knight76]

Very sad day. I've watched his whole career.

Can't really say much more than that.

 

[rabs]

yeah a great career, looking forward to seeing him as a coach in the future

 

[Brutus]

My young son has just walked in the room and I've had to turn it off in case John Fordham comes on the screen again.

 

[Brutus]

Oh good it's finally finished.

I am sure the game will survive and he has hardly played for a while anyway.

 

[Notell]

Andrew Johns would do well on the Footy Show, at least the Sunday edition, for the Thursday one is tripe. I found him good when doing the State of Origins, and it is unlikely he would try to be funny like the others. Actually I think he could be at least as professional and insightful as Sterling was.

By the way, what a crowd on LU. 361 people...is this usual, or due to the Johns news?

 

[Smartman]

But all the time there are a good half a dozen or so players that are special to watch - just that when we're talking about Johns we're talking about someone a little better again ;-)

Opinions are like arseholes, everyones got one

 

[aussies1st]

Good bye to a legend, sad day for the sport.

 

[Trentski]

Rugby League will miss Johns hugely.

Too bad he couldnt retire on his own terms.

Good luck to the bloke in the future!

 

[flamin]

I just think its sad hes careers is ending like this and not in front of his fans

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Wow!

Love him or loathe him he his a living legend of our game. I will take great pleasure in telling my children that I saw one of the greatest of all time run around. The game will move on and continue to grow, but it will also be a little worse off without him. Best of luck to him in retirement and cheers for the memories.

Locky, f**k OFF :arrow:

 

[God-King Dean]

I'm a bit gutted myself.

Oh well, there is a positive out of this... we get to see Paul Harrogan cry on Thursday night :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Gene Krupa]

Completely shattered!

Now I know what it feels like to be a Faiders fan.

(Apologies to the decent Canberra fans.)
