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.
And yet you think that the recruitment of one player will have other contenders shitting themselves.

Excellent amount of butt hurt in here today.
All trying to sound like they are giving sound advice when all it really is , is pure butt hurt.

It’s a wonderful signing that any fan of any club would welcome with open arms.
The bloke is a freak who has been in a team full of bludgers who are coached by the worst in the business.

He will shine at the sharks,
Don’t be surprised to see him play fullback.

meh, I’m happy for you.

purely because it means you won’t be able to pay Val next week when he says ‘i’ve done a Wayne bennett, I wanna stay guys!!!’ and he comes back
to his rightful home in NQ........

Val will make it in The NFL now I’ve had time to digest it.

This is pretty much what you said when anyone dared question the Dugan signing.

How's that working out?

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.
Mofo will carve up opposition when needed. That's been the Sharks problem last few seasons finals campaigns.

Will be really interesting to see finally if it was the warriors holding Johnson back or Johnson holding the warriors back?
I don't think that was the real issue. The real issue is the dribbler coach and a team with no heart

Aus fans when Johnson was at the Warriors - “He’s a myth who goes missing all the time!”
Aus fans as soon as he leaves “he’s a brilliant player who was held back by his team and coach!”

I love watching the guy play, why couldn’t he have gone to a channel 9 team so everyone can be entertained by him. Has he had what 5 free to air NRL games in the last 3 years!?
