Andrew Johns is a flop

[Lydon]

That will actually work. They have played together before at Souths so they understand a bit about how the other plays unlike Keary and Cleary. It appeared to me that Cleary was supposed to be the dominant half on Wednesday night and control the general play and Kez was supposed to play the second fiddle, run the ball role. Unfortunately when we were under the pump Cleary did his best Mitchell Pearce impersonation and Keary was left trying to pick up the pieces. Freddy needs to bite the bullet, punt Cleary and tell Keary he's the man, and let him run the team. You only have to go back and watch the 2018 GF to see how he thrives with that extra responsibility

Yes I definetly agree that Keary and Walker combination is the best option we have moving forward, they will thrive and NSW will be better for it!

What I don’t agree with is Andrew Johns continual brain dead statements at the end of games with no thought put into it...

The fact channel 9 employ him and allow him to embarrass himself says it all.

Nathan Cleary is rubbish and has always been.
Luai carried Penrith all season

Suggesting NSW should drop Luke Keary.

The ch9 punditry is seriously at an all time low.

The drugs have fried his brain, he’s been saying for 2 years that Keary is the best half in the game and is an automatic selection plays one mediocre game and now we get rid of him?
Get off the drugs Johns seriously.

[The Skeez]

It’s no coincidence that Gould and Johns are making brash statements. It’s seems to a Nine directive to be more shocking whether it’s through their tv broadcasts or their Fairfax papers

Oh no. Freddy has done it.

There's no way NSW lose the series so he will look vindicated but Keary is comfortably the best half in the game at the moment. The 2nd and 3rd best halves don't even play for NSW and he still can't get a gig!!

Please tell me how you arrive at this . NSW are a mess, and if they think Walker will save them, well that's a losing bet. So Lomax will save them... don't think so either. With Cordner out they lose a lot of soul. The entire forward pack lacks punch. RCG and Brown have to come in plus Papenhausen, which will improve them, but I can't see them winning the series.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Keary out....lawsuit back on, I double damages!

Well said 6.

lmao good stuff.

[Kingbilly]

Keary was much better than Cleary. Some of Keary's issues related more to Wighton not giving him anything. He plays and looks better when his outside players run proper lines.
Cordner was was back to form in terms of good carries on Wed. But I am glad he is giving it a rest.

NSW also had massive issues with work rate in the middle

Johns seems to hate us since we got rid of him as a consultant, which maybe a valid reason
