Opinion Sign Shaun Johnson

[Rassayri]

Other teams seem able to pluck forwards out of thin air and they do there jobs why can’t we

 

[flamebouyant]

Olapoopoo is rubbish. And he is to small for a lock.

This proves how pointless it is to read your posts!

 

[flamebouyant]

Money talks. I’d actually offer 1.5 mil per season. The situation is that desperate

Thank fuck gus manages our cap and not you!

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.

Ok so your solution is to go without a halfback for another few years. Great, thanks.

Yeah thank fuck. Because Gus has done such a terrific job with it lol

Gus has an eye on the future and invested in kids.

This will pay off in the next couple of years.

The instant gratification you crave hasn't worked over the last few coaches but you want to go back to it?

If you can't see the difference then I am sorry for you.

You’re insecure. You need daddy Gus don’t cha

 

[craigo]

The bloke is 34 and has forwards that can go forward.
What’s he going to do here kick a bomb.

We have been seeing that non stop since 2010. More bombs than the war

I'd be trying to sign SJ or Hunt next year followed by an experienced prop like McLean. I know hunt wouldn't come cheap but if we were sign SJ for 450-500k 1-2 year contract and sign McLean on 300-400k 2 year contract I think that would benefit the team a lot.

With no real argument you resort to insults.

Guess that says it all.

 

[Bulldog wazza]

SJ would fail here.. missed that Window 2 yrs ago.
Our Juniors are looking good..
We have Rajab coming through. KO is only 3 games in and will grow into great half in 3 - 4 years. Burton I can actually see as a great Lock in a few years.
My Spine in 2026
1 S Crichton 6. K.Oloapu 7. K. Rajab 9. R. Mahoney
I'd like 3 international forwards Aden Fonua Brown, Payne Hass and Tui Kamikamica with Max King V.Kikau J.Preston and toilers like Morrin - Edwards and then Pele off the bench.

1 Crichton
2 Fox
3 Wilson
4 Averillo
5 Kiraz
6 Oloapu
7 Rajab
13 Burton
12 kikau
11 Preston
10 Fonua Brown
9 Mahoney
8 Hass
14 Alomoti
15 Tui Kamikamica
16 King
17 Pele
18 Edwards
19 Morrin

Welcome to the kennel Shaun. Just have to say, it's no use trying to sell us on offering you overs for the retirement fund. Get in the ears of management. We don't write the contracts.

 

[TalDog]

Why you bagging out a kid in his 3rd game?

Why don't you bag out the centre pretending to be a HB?

Hearing rajab has been promised a crack at 7 and KO is seen as a lock by the club

This makes no sense.

We have 4 young halves we are starting to groom for FG

Can't hurt giving him a go.

This season is another write off and our best hope is to avoid the spoon.

 

[flamebouyant]

Your a fucking clown. He bought King in last year, Mahoney and Kikau here this year, with Chrichton and Xerri, plus a few more to come for next year. How is that bad? Especially considering how completely out of wack our cap was, and how poor we were playing!!
Gus has more understanding of how to run a football club and manage its cap in his left teste then anyone here on the kennel.
But you want to sign a 34 year old johnson for 1.5mil a season, for 3 years??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[TalDog]

What a stupid suggestion

Agree he is on 500 at warrior and tiger have offered 600 why would we offer 1000000 or anything at all

If this is real and the tigers are that daft then I hope they pull the trigger and get it done.

Can't see Johnson leaving NZ though

Ben hunt

 

[racin jason]

Nope.
