Johns would make a difference in any side. At the moment at the Knights the only difference he is making is in stopping our team performing any poorer and I credit this form mainly to disruption through injury. A fully fit Knights side would tear *some* opposition teams to shreds but this isn't based on names and reputation, rather the confidence they would gain from at least some sort of consistency.
You can't say that injuries have nothing to do with the current predicament. I know we have other issues that will be the death of us but any team that starts as poorly as we have from round 1, even with so much time off, would struggle. Our struggle is simply exacerbated by the injuries.
