Shaun Johnson

[QWERTY]

Why on earth are we even discussing this ? We have one of the best, if. Not the best 1,6,&7 in their respective position, and we’re contemplating shifting players and signing a 29 yo who has proven to be talented but inconsistent! Lam & Lamb have a year to show if they can reach their potential, otherwise we’ll look at someone else midway through next season, and it won’t be SJ.

im pretty sure SJ's warriors contract ends after the 2019 season, so we'd just shift most of cronks salary to johnson if we did invest in him. Alas, d prefer giving lam a chance-if Robbo thinks he is good enough

[mattyh]

i guess one advantage cronk has is he is manufactured, so he can explain what he does and teach it, whereas a johns or fittler or thurston or alexander were more naturally talented but probably would respond with a shrug of the shoulders and yea just play , although some of johns breakdowns on 9 are pretty damn good , and he can explain it well, im sure cronk could do it better

What's next? Jake at Centre? Has Ricky Stuart from 2005 invaded this forum?

I am thinking you grabbed the wrong end of the pineapple mate.

There is NO way I would advocate anyone replacing our spine players. Especially a 1/2 moving to FB as has been ass-u-med.

What was discussed, and years ago under the influences of course, was the opinion the SJ/Mundane style 1/2 or 5/8 would/could have been good at FB.

At that stage FBs were more like Mini or early Slater, freakish attackers but not 2nd/3rd ball players.

I also thought the same about Daley as a player. I reckon hed have ripped at FB. Nowadays as the game is played.

Just a personal observation, not advocating that here and now with our team.

SJ to replace Cronkite in 2020, well that is another proposition all together. I could see it happening and working IF the club choose to go that way.

I'd like to see Brock Lamb's chops before going after an aged Sheep.

Shaun Johnson just received a release from his contract with the Warriors, the Sharks/Eels/Dragons are among the favourites to sign him.

Have to wonder if Uncle Nick/Robbo would of been interested in Johnson if he just saw out the final year of his contract and was available next offseason, would of been fun watching Keary/Johnson/Teddy/Latrell in the same attack.

Fletch it's interesting reading the reasons for the "divide" between the worriers and SJ that have ultimately led to his release, one of which is that he's not a clutch player. The Roosters don't need a 6 or 7 who isn't considered one by the club with whom he's played his whole career.

[Kelby]

He will sign with the sharks this week.

Shaun Johnson saga after Warriors release takes intriguing twist

The Shaun Johnson saga has taken another intriguing twist with revelations that he is only available to rival clubs for 2019.

Wide World of Sports has learned that Johnson’s management has told clubs they can only sign the Kiwi Test star on a one-year deal - suggesting he has already come to terms for a club for 2020.

WARRIORS RELEASE JOHNSON AFTER TENSE MEETING

If that is the case, the Roosters would seem Johnson’s eventual long-term home, given that Cooper Cronk is retiring at the end of next season.

Sources at the Roosters say they want more of an organising halfback, but they may also find the lure of a world-class player like Johnson too great.

Parramatta is another club that may be interested in the talented playmaker for 2020. Johnson was released by the Warriors effective immediately (AAP)
Johnson was released by the Warriors earlier today and is in the sights of several clubs, with Cronulla the favourites to gain his services.

The Sharks have money up their sleeves following Valentine Holmes’ shock decision to try making his name in the NFL.

They plan to move the versatile Matt Moylan to fullback to replace him, leaving a vacancy in the halves.

See Horry above. Interesting.

[Headless Chook]

See Horry above. Interesting.

After Keary's GF performance, and also with the benefit of another 12 months alongside Cronk, maybe the Chooks are starting to think that Keary could develop into that steady, organising half role and Johnson becoming the attacking spark with ball in hand

[Thirteen]

He will sign with the sharks this week.

It's been well publicised the last 24 hours.

[fletch]

See Horry above. Interesting.

I think Keary's performance in the GF would of given Robbo confidence that they don't need a pure organizer as his halves partner after Cronk retires.

Like I mentioned above I would love to see an attack with Keary/Johnson/Teddy/Latrell so much strike power, how would opposition teams begin to try and contain that.

Which club would sign him up for one year? It seems a bit bizarre to ask for an immediate release unless the Sharks don't think Flanagan Jnr will be ready for another 12 months.

It would also be disheartening for the Souvlaki brothers if we got SJ for 2020.
