The bloke is 34 and has forwards that can go forward.
What’s he going to do here kick a bomb.
Yes spot on.
SJ will be largely ineffective behind our forwards whom are going backwards & leaking points up the middle for most of the match. He will spend too much time tackling.

Johnson won't do shit for us other than being a deadwood like most of the signings based on "talent", I'm certain if we sign him it will be another "sack, move, we are stuck etc" abundance of threads.

He peaked and will begin to decline, should have moved on others when we had the chance but that ship has sailed so all we can do is work on a better pack and that will help who we have be better.

How old is Sherwin???
Lol - he’d be an improvement… he’d be turning 45 this year, played with and against him, scored plenty off his kicks and short passes… he’s a freak

If we’re serious we should be opening the cheque book and signing SJ to a 3 year deal, 3 million dollars should get it done.

We need a bloody halfback. He’s in the form of his life and can turn us around.

Oluapu doesn’t look like much of a game manager and his kicking game looks piss poor. Keep him in reserve grade for the next couple years for development purposes. Reynolds needs to retire and Flanagan should probably retire early.
What a stupid suggestion

100%, only if he didn’t have Johns, in front of him he would have played representative football!

He would be worse than he was at the sharks.

Let’s hear yours
Signing a 33 yo who doesn't want to leave NZ?

Why not. Lets just repeat the mistakes of the last few years because they worked out so well for us the first, second and third times we tried it.

How about we develop our own.
