Shaun Johnson consolidated thread

[_G-Dog_]

If we miss out on Sean Johnson will be a stuff up.. who knows when another good NRL level half will become available..

Hard to get the best half when you want it.. as long as hes an improvement on what we have which he is in a big way.. we need to try and get him..

Experienced YES
Good Attack YES
Goal Kicker YES

Sign him Up..

Smith is no guarantee now.
Burton can’t do it on his own.
I’d give SJ a 2 year contract 450k. He would improve us and also allow Burton to not wear ALL the responsibilities.
He can still play

Lol johnson will not accept 450K after initially asking for 800K from the sharks

Part of the problem of attracting good players is we don't have a solid halfback, hooker or fullback for 2021. If we get a halfback like Shaun Johnson, good fullbacks and dummy halves who are on the market might be more interested in coming to us. But if we just have Burton then it doesn't look as interesting coming. Burton 6 and Johnson 7 would be the best complete pairing we have had in a LONG time.

Maybe not now he kicked that field goal, but for 2 years he may have taken that.

Funny we have dud halves.. yet some our fans say we shouldnt sign Johnson.. meanwhile teams like Souths & Raiders want to sign him..

He'll get 500-600k wherever he ends up imo.

Not if we are the only club interested

Raiders? Rabbits would probably take him if he drops below 500k. Norman off contract at the Dragons. Broncos if they want to keep Staggs in the centres*. Titans likely not re-signing Taylor. A few options.

No one actually linked so that’s speculation

So is us being linked with Johnson tho? His manger will say those clubs are interested anyways. A few of those clubs technically been linked through the media too.

Ready is one of the few journos with good mail so I hope he's right

 

[QLDdogsfan]

I reckon Shaun Johnson would be a key to getting Brandon Smith to the club aswell, they have played for the Kiwis together. Definitely won't hurt our chances

Brent Read said on Rush Hour that the Dogs are in the box seat for Johnson. They have had a meeting this week and expect to get a deal done early next week for around $500k.

Would be a great bit of business if they pull it off.

Wouldn’t mind him for this year we could drop Wakeham and SJ could partner Averillo

Good to hear Read normally is on point with these things. Great business by the club SJ for DWZ essentially

Sharks wouldn’t release him
