If we could get him cheap, Burton and SJ in the halves (just for his experience). I posted this awhile ago, but he is definitely leaving the Sharks. Get him Baz. We can't score points and Shaun Johnson can! DO IT
Johnson has at least 3 good years left in him, he is only 30. He is coming back strong from injury and had a solid game last week. Experience in the spine is something we need.
He's no band aid. I think he has 3 good years in him.
FB Avo,
Wings JAC, Cotric, Oken
Centres Shoupp, Naden,
Halves Burton, Johnson, Flanno
Front row Thommo, Hetho, Ava
2nd Row Jacko, Renouf, RFM
Hooker.....We are fucked!
Usually I'd be against the idea due to his knack of going missing and not being consistent enough as a marquee player but with the lack quality halves available, I'd be happy if the club got him for cheap for 2 years..
it is a pity about Johnson that he spent the majority of his career at the Warriors and Sharks (with all due respect)... could have been one of the best in the game
past his best now and we NEED FORWARDS!
the Sharks may be willing to want Flanagan back having lost Townsend and now Shaun Johnson
He's a talented player but he's almost always injured, he'd be after 500k plus and would want a 2-3 year deal..
That's a lot of risk for a half who's best footy is behind him and who is a defensive liability, goes missing in key moments and misses a tonne of games.
I know he gets injured, but we haven't had anyone like that video footage since Barba. How could you not want that attacking potential in our side. CRAZY!
