Shaun Johnson signs for 2022

[Burns]

Huge, huge news.

Walsh and SJ? Goosebumps.

 

[morningstar]

Sanity prevails. Well done to everyone putting their ego’s aside to make the best desicion for the club.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Interesting

Good move, while he may not be the guy to take a club all the way, he is a still a mile above what you currently have

 

[Blair]

He's coming back as a half who can control a game. That's a major step forward.

 

[Scott]

WOW. I didn't think we would go there again.

He is a Warrior to the bone. All he wants to do is play for the Warriors. $$ means nothing to him.

I like it.

 

[Matua]

Well that's a surprise. But, it's not like we've had any success without him, so let him rip for two years.

 

[Penrose_11]

Shit. This is all good as long as it’s for the right coin. Hopefully nowhere near the $800k he’s been asking for. Guess Kodi will likely be gone now as well but still don’t think CHT is a 6/7 moving forward. Just need to sign up that quality hooker now i guess

 

[spear tackle]

I'm of two minds on this, according to reports the senior players didnt want him back and when he left it left a bit of a sour taste in many peoples mouths. But if hes back and playing well and hes not chewing up half the salary cap, I'll jump on the bandwagon if its winning us games. Looks like they'll be dropping a few guys from our 30 with all the new and returning players

 

[Fufu Andronez]

I love the fact that no one had a clue about this until it was announced by the club. Good sign that there are no leaks.

As for SJ, welcome home.

 

[Big Marn]

Dubious decision. Hope it doesnt screw the culture the team has built up after he left on less than great terms.
On the other side of the coin, Reece Lightning will be there to pick up the slack when Johnson goes invisible during games as he is inclined to do.

Do the Warriors have that many players that were even around when SJ was last here for senior players to care about a sour taste? I think only Bunty, Jazz and Fus were even around then. Edit: I did a re-check and Tohu was there as well.

Actually, come to think of it who are the Warriors senior players? Tohu obviously, then who? AFB and BMM on experience? DWZ is probably automatically a senior player due to experience and test captaincy.

2 years at $450k per year -

Good point, was just going by the report in a newspaper a while back when his manager asked about coming back.

 

[Leber]

Amazing. Super duper cheap as well.

Yeah Tohu was there as you've updated, and Rog as well.

Which tbh are the only two whose opinions I'm really interested in lol. And one of them is leaving so...

There's definitely been a gulf of senior players/leaders in the team for a while. I guess SJ helps fill that "void".

Honestly we need to act pretty f**king quickly on putting a good team around Walsh before he gets "home sick" after losing all the time, so hopefully, this is a step in the right direction.

Yeah, I left him off as he's leaving.

Now to find a hooker ....

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Can we get an exchange on Townsend for SJ?

Where is the NRL Customer Service desk?

 

[Rich102]

Could we see a move to hooker by CHT?

 

[Leber]

Now we need a 6 and a hooker

 

[Tongue]

Wow!
I mean, Wow!

Does that mean Nikorima's gone?
