There is a chance that the Cronulla Sharks will fold in 2019 because of financial problems. Where does leave Shaun Johnson?

In my humble opinion Shaun Johnson will finally and belatedly have to move to London for the rest of 2019, to play for the London Broncos. Then he will have to sign up with the Sydney Roosters for 2020 and beyond. He will have no other attractive choices.

A touch footy Comp somewhere? OzTag?

London Broncos would provide a good experience for Shaun Johnson. It would give him a chance to explore cosmopolitan, cultural London on his days off, and Europe on long weekends. It would be most educational and uplifting for him.

He could go there for a holiday one day then.
You couldn’t live there.

Ace Grand Final winner (2010) and Grand Final winner predictor, Jamie Soward, went to London to play half back for the London Broncos on two occasions. He lived there and loved it.

There is no reason why Shaun Johnson could not do the same if Cronulla collapses financially.

Was that when no team wanted him or no group of players could stand being In the same squad as him?

So he doesn’t live there.
Right.

Why would he?
It’s heaps better here.

Soward lived in London for a season or two. It was not a problem. In fact he loved it. That is all that Shaun Johnson would be doing, living in London for a season.

It is better in Australia for sunshine and beaches. But for culture London is much better. Shaun Johnson, with his deep Laotian heritage, is like Jamie Soward a "culture vulture."

My favorite Sowie moment was at Shark Park just a few years ago.....To the raucous chant of "Sowards' a wanker" 'lil Jamie missed 3 second half conversions including one after the bell to win the game.....Good times.

You keep missing the point.
You don't have to live in London forever to enjoy and be able to live there for a short time.

Ace half back and Grand Final; predictor Jamie Soward enjoyed living there for a short time. Ace half back Shaun Johnson can do the same.

No he can’t.
It’s a shithole over there.
You can’t live there.
Ask Sowie, he got paid to go there and still bailed out.
