What utter nonsense. The Warriors without Sean Johnson is like Christmas without Santa Claus. Apart from Benji the team vs the Warriors and was the same as the team vs Brisbane.
I would argue the Warriors without Johnson were equal to the Tigpies of this year. Regardless, Johnson adds nothing to their defence and it could be argued that it is stronger with Lolohea defending.
Again, its not the perfect example, but its fairer than the comparison of Widdop + JDB or Widdop behind a reserve grade forward pack against a Top 2 and Top 8 team respectively, to a Benji + Hutch with full strengrh side vs cellar dwellars.
Fact is, they are add necessary as each other if we are going to win, and we play best when they combine equally (see Sharks at Kogarah, Canberra at Gong). But neither is a chief playmaker, they are both ball running halves. If we are behind by 4, I'd prefer to see Benji oull something out of his ass. If we are up by 4, give it t Gareth every time.
What changes if we add Farah is that we get that organisation, leadership and reliability that we lacked with Rein. Thats why I want this to happen!!
