'It’s heartbreaking': Johnston resigned to leaving Souths as rival clubs circle

[Accept]

$2 million for 4 years. You can probably negotiate it down to $2mil for 5 years. He's only young with scope to improve, so you're paying for potential. Unlike Johnston, he's an actual FB specialist, they don't come cheap. Staines will be an upgrade to Boyd, Isaako, Niu, MILF.

A two gamer is an upgrade on the players you mentioned? That's a big statement. You must know more about him than I do obviously.

 

[Wolfie]

He does look extremely promising.

The player to get from Penrith is Matt Burton. He is going to be some player and would be brilliant at 6 for us.

Totally agree, would love to get him.

 

[Wolfie]

Totally agree, would love to get him.

I think he would be realistic. Behind Luai and i think because he has such a good combination with Cleary, Burton wont be in the frame for 6.

What do you think of:

1. Staggs
6. Burton
7. Dearden
9. Grant

I really don't see Kotoni in any of the spine positions that with you. We do need a fullback and hooked desperately

Brian Foley an ex Super league player and coach who mentors Herbie insists Farnworth's best Positon is fullback, I didn't even know he ever played the position but I'm unsure on it, he has been moved around alot lately and I think he would be better staying in one positon for awhile.

Burton would be a really good signing for 6 I think. We also need think about 9 at the moment, Turpin has had his fair share of injuries lately and I'm still not convinced of his ability, I think a really good 9 would fix alot of our issues with line speed that we have been having and it could completely transform our attack probably more then any other position.

For sure and this is why I want the club to everything and more at Grant. I don't care if he is contracted, just tell him we have more on offer for you than anyone else when you become available.

If Smith stays on I would go for a player Swap option and then it would be much easier to convince him to stay long term, give them Milford or whatever.

Agree. He never, ever passes the ball.

 

[Mustafur]

Agree. He never, ever passes the ball.

He passes the player instead.

 

[Kyall]

I would only take him on a winger he's not a good fullback in the NRL.

 

[Unbreakable]

Alex Johnston has re-signed with Souths for 2 more seasons.

 

[gUt]

I've never rated him as a fullback. He's a winger. We don't need another Josh Hoffman. But if we can get him as a winger, sure.

 

[Sproj]

Amazing what happens when a club doesn't let a player hold it to ransom.

 

[Dexter]

How is it johnson takes a 200k haircut and it's a good news story about player loyalty sticking with a great club blah blah.
IF Fifita had have signed with us Kent and others were calling for an investigation.
