Yeah I am sure when maloney leaves end of next year Issac John will step straight up and lead the warriors to a premiership.
At least we've exposed him to the NRL. He got a bit of a shot. And Maloney hasn't lead us to a Premiership yet, why expect John to do it.
The fact is, the Broncos have known for a while that Lockyer was retiring soon and they haven't done a thing about it. It wouldn't surprise me if they threw a shitload of cash at Maloney.
They sure haven't been proactive with nurturing their own backyard, to replace King Locky. You know, the great Queensland backyard, that the Broncos have the first dibs on. And don't go on about the NZ scene. Our players come from park footy grade, compared to your well-drilled juniors systems, that Australia has in place.
