Sounds good to me. I dunno if 3 sessions are enough, but I'm sure he can still pass on something.

How to manufacture a hole for your hole-runner. Considering the crop of edge forwards, this is critical.

This is good.
I did hear whispers this was happening, but thought it was odd the media hadn’t really put an article together on it. Johns is a very good head with the little tactical things in the game. I think this will be great for both Milf and Niko.
I’m liking how Seibs has really taken these guys out of their comfort zones, and to some degree is laying down his expectations on our attacking men. I doubt he will be taking too many excuses from the boys this year, although I do believe we will need to be patient in waiting for the absolute best out of the boys.

 

[Super Freak]

Fucking excellent. I've been calling for this for years.

The Johns brothers, Matty especially, have mentored some of the best halves in the comp and I can't wait to see what he can do with Milford.

To me this is one of the main things a good playmaking half has to be able to do... not only does it make the man outside you become a weapon but as soon as the defence leans too much towards him does it then become a weapon for the runner. I think Kodi is already accustomed to this way of playing hence why we talk about his short ball so much, but it's something milf still lacks in.

Milf being able to utilise his edge second rower, run himself or dump it to the fullback will make him lethal. Not to mention that he already has a more than useful short kicking game

Isn't Johns also working with Ponga? I wonder if he's giving away all of his info to the team he doesn't support

Matty has worked with about 6 teams this off season.

 

[Aldo]

Johns is big on having the halves straightening the attack, which has been our problem for years.

Its huge thing in today's game, gives so much more room for outer ball running and buys more time for ball in play.

Then what the f*** is the great Alfie and Lockyer doing?!

These Novacastrian SOB's were schooled by Broncs halves for decades.
We don't need the enemy teaching us what to do.

Remember that Milf knocked back getting coaching from Locky

Was just thinking the same thing! But I'm sure they are getting support from Alf and Locky. And the more help the better I suppose. Its good hearing about how much effort is being put into these 2.

Being a talented player doesn't always mean you'll be a talented coach. The Johns brothers had success in the past, no reason we can't go outside the Broncos family.

I think Bennett gave him the choice. Dont think Seibold is.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Wouldn't it make more sense that one man (Johns) flies up here, instead of 5 men....flying down to NTLE?

 

[broncos4life]

Yep. And tbh he never should have been given the choice. Could you imagine in your job if your boss said to you that they need you to work on this area and to help I have organised one of the best in the business to mentor you and you said “nup”?

To be fair to Milf, being a big signing 6 the comparisons to Lockyer were unavoidable, and being mentored by the man himself would have made it an even bigger deal. I can get why he would’ve balked at the idea. A few seasons on though, he couke probably use help from Locky without the added media pressure.
