Will be really interesting to see finally if it was the warriors holding Johnson back or Johnson holding the warriors back?

Seems like a square peg in a round hole signing to me. Johnson is a quality talent and we've yet to really see the type of form he's capable of at rep at club land, but he doesn't quite fit the whole Valentine Holmes is about to leave.

One of the edge's Cronulla had over the competition was their ability to work the ball out of trouble. Presumably, Moylan is going to have to move back to 1 and if there was one deficiency in his game, it was his kick returns. Dugan could possibly fill that role, but the Sharks are skinny in the backline and they have a surplus of halves.

I suppose Cronulla had to sign somebody and Johnson is one of the more appealing risks in the game, I just can't help but feel it's a short term gain for what could be long term pain.

With that said, it's going to be interesting to see what Johnson can do behind a pack with Fifita, Woods, Graham, Gallen and Prior involved. It's time for him to prove himself as an elite player in the NRL and if he can't make the most of it with that pack, I think it will always be a mark against him. He'll be remembered as a handy representative player who's biggest highlight was tearing an understrength Australia apart in 2014. A far cry from the projection many had of him in 2011.

He pretty much just stepped off the plane and signed. Probably the club weren't really prepared for such a sudden move. Anyway, sweet as, bro.

You have to admit the jersey looks like a Chinese knock off...

Johnson could improve the sharks, but I think you should settle down a bit.

All of those other "actual contenders" have managed to nullify Johnson when it counts year in, year out.

Iffy, the lot of em. Wade is a quality backrower but he's out for half the season and how he goes after a knee reconstruction is anyone's guess.

Buy a clue.

Respect lost in opinion.

I just laugh at all, who do not understand it is a team game.

Johnson is not god, we will not expect that.

Fools think it a one man game, like you.
