Warriors play hardball with Shaun Johnson

[Rich102]

TVNZ reporting SJ to the Sharks for 3 years.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

There is more noise coming out about Moses to Warriors

Yeah, I think this is a red herring.

Think it was Buzz that was saying the Sharks said f**k off to a 1 year deal, and rightly so...

Easy, just agree to 3 years, throw the toys again after 1 year and hey presto, pick up Rooster contract.

 

[Mr Angry]

Well it is very clear, the problem was player against Management including coach.

I am sure Shaun will still be welcome when he plays for the kiwis. Well by the players, fans I would hope.

He ain't Aussie Jim or joining Tonga.

He ain't no Thurston, Johns, Sterling, Kenny, Daley, Stuart, Langer, Fittler Mortimer etc either... nor a Stacey

Have you only seen his highlights?

 

[Mr Angry]

Still your (kiwis) best half.

 

[¿N. ig-mah¿]

I think this tattoo sums up the ego of the guy.

I have demonstrated another way he could have done it...

 

[JJ]

Still your (kiwis) best half.

yep, but not much competition there and only became that when Foran imploded

 

[WellsNZ]

Still your (kiwis) best half.

High praise with the long list of Kiwi halves in the NRL.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

At the moment it still looks like we're waiting to see how this Dylan Brown situation plays out (per a poster on the other forum).

High praise with the long list of Kiwi halves in the NRL.

Other than Nikorima, Foran and Marshall, none of those in that long list would've hit that level of superstardom that Shaun had. Shaun does deserve high praise over all those others until they start actually doing something worthy of high praise.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Hey now.........spell it right!

This is Shawn Johnson.

She is a Olympic gold medal winning gymnast (american)

 

[Mr Angry]

He ain't no Thurston, Johns, Sterling, Kenny, Daley, Stuart, Langer, Fittler Mortimer etc either... nor a Stacey

Have you only seen his highlights?

No I have seen him behind the shyte forwards you give him and backs who cannot defend, do you see the putzathon around him.

You make out like the above were one player teams like yours is, they all had quality help the year that they won.

Thurston --> MScott, Taumalolo, O'Niell
Johns --> Harragan, Glanville, MacDougall
Sterling --> O'Reilly, Price, Cronin and Kenny
Kenny --> O'Reilly, Price, Cronin and Sterling
Daley --> Lazurus, Clyde, Meninga and Stuart
Stuart --> Lazurus, Clyde, Meninga and Daley
Langer --> Webcke, Thorn, Renouf
Fittler --> JCayless, Ricketson, Hodges
Mortimer --> Tunks, Folkes, CMortimer

Meanwhile
Johnson gets Gavet, Blair, Kata

Yep bloke cannot turn turds into gold, you should get rid of him. HE is the problem.

nor a Stacey

Conceded.

Lets see how he goes with Fifita, Gallen and Morris.

At least SJ use to the travel.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Thurston --> MScott, Taumalolo, O'Niell

Thurston did have power forwards at his disposal but what separates JT from SJ is his ability to set up almost anyone in his team that ran a good line. I don't rate O'Neil but with JT feeding him, he's good. Thurston does it for Hess, Winterstein, Cooper you name it. Johnson doesnt do that as often enough.

Johns --> Harragan, Glanville, MacDougall

Glanville? you mean Buderus. Glanvilles suppose to be above with Thurston. Johns also fed Matt Gidley and Tahu a lot.

Meanwhile
Johnson gets Gavet, Blair, Kata

Well he had Luke, RTS and Mannering. After those names, it's pretty much downhill. Like straight down.

 

[Mr Angry]

Prop, Lock and Centre was the formula.

Star players in star teams.

Johnson has had the Warriors.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

You’re talking as if the Warriors punted SJ Angry, which wasn’t the case. He had a lucrative contract for another year and would’ve got an extension if he’d accepted a pay cut, which we’d have needed to be able to build a roster around him that could’ve done what you’re criticising them for not doing.
But HE chose to walk out out on the remainder of his contract like a spoiled princess. He wasn’t sacked.

 

[Rich102]

Or he could have proved in 2019 that he was worth $1M a season, in which case I am sure he would have been resigned. He chose not to accept the challenge. ( A bit of a recurring theme with SJ)
