Fat Arse must relish the chance to be able to get paid a fortune for playing about a dozen games a season in which he has to do bugger-all...

Cheers,

they are raving about Johns, Tuquiri and Rogers being an unbeatable combo yet 2 of the 3 would be lucky to stay on the field

buying Johns is a short term solution to a long term problem, what a waste of money and lack of brains

considering how well Kidley has played in Newc at 7, there is surely only one choice for the Knights to make .... they could buy 2 or 3 quality players for the money Johns would be on .... then if the Gidley's, Kennedy, their Front Rowers and Tahu stay fit .... comp threatening team

i bet Johns would get fatter in rah rah also haha :lol:

Oink !

The Waratahs are a joke and haven't had a decent 5/8 since Mark Ella. If they want to waste their money on Johns, let them, but I would be appalled if the ARU contributed any funds.

I never thought id say this but Andrew Johns wont be missed that badly in Newcastle. The incredible development of Kurt has surprised me to no end and I think it would almost be in Newcastles best interest to let go of Mr Johns for the same reasons as highlighted by pigskin.

I never ever thought Id say that

That article looks like a press statement from Joey's manager.

I'd like to see Joey go to Souths.

Pay him 1/2 a million or more and he gets to play a game where the chances of him getting injured by the nancy Union boys are the same as the chances that he'll give birth.

See ya Joey, I don't think you'll be missed. It's not like we've had the pleasure of your company for the past few seasons.

I doubt Johnsy would ever lower himself and his career by going to these 2 minnows Union or Souths.

Rugby Union poach. Simple as that. Want want want, take take take...make up stupid rumours and the worst thing is they think they're going to get everyone.

Not nice when the shoe is on the other foot, is it?

What does that make the Reds?

The Reds have been pretty poor in the past couple of years, but you've got to remember that they still won the same amount of games this year as the Tahs, as well as beating them (again).

The Reds lost a number of highly experienced players in the off season, as well as having a horrific run of injuries to 5/8s.

If you look at the record of each team over the past 15 - 20 years, you'll see that the Reds have been far more successful than the Waratahs.

The Super 12 Final couldn't knock Origin off the back page, so I guess the union scribes had to think up something.

Its not like its new - this has been tossed up for a while re the fact union want Johns.
