Isn’t the coach getting sacked in a month and taking his son with him?

Hope he goes well for you guys. I'm not sure whether we just never figured out how to compliment Johnson's obvious ability as a half, or the problem was with Johnson- but on his day, he's a heck of a football player. Obviously, one of those halves that hasn't quite working with Johnson in the past was Chad Townsend- so that's a concern. But I'm disappointed for us and excited for you.

Still cant believe we signed SJ. Now get Kapow and Gal can retire after winning the 2019 GF.

I was at the game where he scored in the 79th minute to beat us.
He beat pretty much every bloke in the feild.

I have the same shock as when we signed Barba and Lewis

He can definitely do that- no question.

The question is whether he can do what a half needs to do every week.

Personally, I'm a Johnson fan and I'm sad to see him go. But he can be frustrating.

We need a game winner . Hopefully he brings that because the current number 7 tries to lose us games

Feels weird to think we now have a test level halfback at the club.
3yr deal is icing on the cake too.

Ha ha.

Didn’t take long.

Now that Holmes-wrecker is gone, all we have now is Chad as a regular forum ‘whipping boy’...

If he does well,then it’ll be Feki...

Coaching error. At that time SJ played 1/2 and Chad played 5/8.

Chad’s a game controller. SJ is a runner. If the Sharks reverse that error and let SJ have more room off Chads superb service SJ may earn the nickname Havoc

What are you talking about. I have whipped the guys arse since day one...yes I think he sucks arse...
And the coach seems to think so as well because he is quoted as saying it will be sj/son, sj/chad in halves and they have no back up hooker now.
So looks like another half a season of player shuffling coming up.
Personally I don't think his son is ready and he is way to big to be a halfback.
I'd have
SJ .7
Moylan.6
Reason being SJ not at 5/8 having back rowers running at him all game will kill his attacking flare. I reckon moylan's defence as 5/8 is excellent.
I'd have Dugan as fullback because his defensive reads are spot on and gets the forwards set well problem is the bloke is injured all the time.
So his son or Chad will be on the bench. I wish it was braileys bro because he is all class.

And I am over the moon they have signed sj just hope he is utilised properly

Johnson has always played the same game. He wears 7 because he idolises Andrew Johns

I’ve always thought he needed to test himself at an Australian club to reach his potential. He was a big fish little pond how he is surrounded by rep players and needs to prove himself. I’m confident he will.

Moylan and SJ is an incredible attacking duo especially down the left edge when wade is back.

What difference does it make what jersey they wear?

If we name Moylan In 1 and Johnson is 6, but Moylan plays as a 5/8, then who cares.

I played my entire last season in 22, because I had a good game in it in round 1. Started every game
The numbers don’t mean anything, except superstition.
Ben barbs wore 23 all year this year and killed it. He might want to wear that for the cows this season. Or he may not give two shits.

Do we think he could handle the physicality of fullback? He seems more slight than the ‘modern day’ fullback.
Broken field kick returns would be nice to watch

Can also come into the line to ball play like barba did. In reality gives us a 6 on both sides. Chad or whoever is the catch and passer that plays both sides.
Seen can kick on the last and actually kick long.

Was that the game we had in the bag until Robbo kicked the ball right to him instead of finding touch?
