What I wouldn't give to have Shaun Johnson in our side...Ive been banging on about this kid for years now...hes the closest thing to Puff as far as swerve and acceleration Ive seen...the way he stood Inglis up reminded me so much of Reg Gasnier in his prime

- Johnson can certainly win you a game, it highlighted we missed our freak half in JT, Cronk is ok but there is something about rep football, individual brilliance seems to jag the wins.

- The good thing about this series was the blooding of youth (some of them anyway), longterm gain.. Klemmer looked badass, annoys me even more that the Dogs managed to keep him and Jackson plus still add BMoz and so on...

- Walker still struggled but did a lil better, atleast he got some flick passes on which set up his winger nicely.. I like the idea of Mansour, but he wasnt as electric as I thought he would be, he bombed 1 try which BMoz would have cakewalked in.. BMoz definitely a better pure winger.

It was a terrific game to watch. Had it all. Some sheer brutality from the likes of Tapau and Klemmer, the genius mix of subtle footwork, power and offloading from Taumalolo and Bromwich, and the exhilirating brilliance of Johnson. The Aussie try to bring them back within reach in the last 5 mins might have been a try of the year contender on it's own, but there were 2 better in the same game!

The real guy we should be after is Jason Taumololo, and i hope we make a monster play for him. He is exactly what Merrin should strive for...hard running, footwork, offload...

If 10 clubs are looking to sign him we would surely have no chance? Take a bit less and go for a Top 4 side.

Was thinking, Klemmer would be a nice addition, watching this game...
Didnt think much of him in previous games but last night when he had some good game time, he looked "bigger" than the others, without being chubby so to speak, he just easily seemed to push back the NZ defenders.
