Shaun you f@#kwit

[Meth]

"I'm here for the money and I don't really care where we finish on the ladder"

That'd play better

 

[Meth]

I watched the interview with Johnson. The media were digging for something and he didn't give it to them. To be honest, I think Cameron George looks more like the f**kwit here.

 

[Meth]

Bloody Weidler the needler. What a germ

 

[Mr Angry]

Agree, decent chance at Cronulla, minimal with us - and at Cronulla it's not all on him, but the media won't be so friendly...

Well if he does stupid stuff like piss in his mouth, fake root a dog, they will be there.

No off field drama previously, that I can recall.

But realistically has gone from big fish, small pond, to big fish, huge pond.

When they have finished hating on Dugan, Fifita and in QLD Gallen, they might chase the kiwi.

As for Media, how much pressure will be on Kearney, after you are 2 and 8 or 0-10 after 10 rounds?

This jumped out at me:

https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/leagu...rrior-shaun-johnson-knocked-back-the-roosters
""I know deep down that I gave it a crack," Johnson said. "Regardless of what the CEO says, who has been there a year or two, it dates back a lot longer than me.

"I've been there eight years and had six coaches. So the sixth coach didn't like me. So what? You know what I mean? I rode the tough time, I gave it a crack. I tried to keep fans engaged in their seats, I tried to play a style of footy that was going to get kids excited every week."

That petulance sneaking out again, and hint of an issue with Kearney?

Cannot be more clearer.

Shaun does not believe in the 'process', like many workers, has no problem with his fellow workers, just management, which he quite rightly points out, changes quite often, they love a scapegoat.

Many goats have been slaughtered. Voodoo not working.

Kearney lost one player in the dressing room, how long before full revolt?

In ten years this will be known as the "potato revolt"

Interesting that George seems to be simply implementing the coach's wishes and taking the stick for it

I can perfectly understand why Kearney has lost patience and perhaps interest in Johnson, but they should have been well aware he'd react this way, and while I'm not a big Johnson fan it certainly wasn't the time to let him go

Will watch the Sharks with interest

I think it was exactly the right time. The Warriors have drawn a line in the sand and may actually start to live up to their name. This "I'm not coming to training till I've had my six weeks break" b*shit shows what effort and leadership he was really putting in. When does he start training with the Sharks? Away from home he may finally grow up.

 

[Mr Angry]

Early Jan, same with Gallen.

It is not like Shaun has ever looked like he ate too many Burgers.

 

[Rich102]

No, agree Mr Angry.
But the Warriors asked him to attend training before the Christmas break, with extra time after the break, and he said no. Not what you would expect from a "leader".

 

[Mr Angry]

No, agree Mr Angry.

Yeah poor form.

I suspect the conversation that happened not long after last years exit, (as it would with every player and every coach)is the catalyst for all that followed. Some words just cannot be taken back, both sides.

I think this is where both player and coach realised they are not on the same page, perhaps even different books.

Turns down early training, CEO backs middle management, Warriors play hardball, parting of ways, signs elsewhere for less.

 

[Mr Angry]

Any one heard from Kearney?

Coach is rather quiet.

Heard from CEO, Smiffy, player.....................

 

[Rich102]

Kearney's busy with the "process".

Agree on that, just no replacement

Short memories some have got. Remember the SBW, Benji, JWH debacle year of the Kiwis when SK was first in charge, he took charge then they were gone. If I recall the Kiwis didn't do too bad with him in charge after that. Pretty damn good in fact.
Guess who was SBW's roommate at the time of all that? Slipped under the radar a bit that did at the time. Guess two people may not have forgotten and one didn't ever change...

Kearney will not lose this dressing room either

 

[Iafeta]

Ho hum. I really now couldn’t care less what Johnson says. He’s a former player. Time to move on.

Need something else to take the headlines, which will probably be a big signing or season kickoff before it disappears.

Hopefully it's not a Dylan Walker style headline to shift focus.

I'd like to think and hope that we don't have any players at our club that would do a dogshit thing like walker did

 

[Rich102]

How about Blake Green injured at training, needs full knee reconstruction?


Spoiler alert. This has not happened.......................yet.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

How about Blake Green injured at training, needs full knee reconstruction?

What? Is this a hypothetical or have I missed something?

 

[One Warrior]

What? Is this a hypothetical or have I missed something?

Rich is giving a hypothetical example of a story that would temporarily take the media's focus of Johnson. I for one wish they would stop focusing on him too.

 

[MKEB...]

Didn't go because of the money...30 pieces of silver would suffice.

Just my opinion on the matter.
