You’re absolutely spot on mate. Jake is showing a mouth-watering amount of promise at halfback and just keeps improving each week. His composure and decision making has improved out of sight in the space of a month. Needs to be persisted with at #7 beyond this season. Best talent we’ve had in a decade, we need his hands on the ball as much as possible.
Johnson brings some experience but that’s about where it ends. He’s injury prone, well past his best, and there’s always been big question marks over his ability to game manage and deliver the goods when it counts most. Signing him on 500k/year as 32 and 33 year old in 2022/2023 will be a monumental mistake.
