Anyone else glad we didn't sign Johnston?

I must admit I haven't seen a whole heap of him this year but the last two games he's been at fullback he's been average at best. He's still a couple of seasons off being a FG fullback. Dodged a bullet there if you ask me.

  • He's a poor mans Luke Burt, without the goal kicking.

  • I agree that we need a playmaker at the back. I don't think we get that with Gordan there either. I still think our best bet is trying to retain Sandow and playing Norman at fullback. Look at all the top sides, they all have fullbacks that can throw a good long ball or put in a good kick.
    • Norman doesn't want to play fullback. The main reason he left Brisbane was to play 5/8
    • Norman might have to put team in front of his own ego
    • I think Norman has matured a lot since his time at the Broncos. Now that he's a leader in our team I personally think he would play where ever BA and the team need him to play.
    • Put him at Fullback and give him the Co-captaincy with Foran. That should alleviate some of the "pain" of being made to play FB.

    • After last nights game I hope we make DWZ an offer he shouldn't refuse
    • If this was even a remote chance we wouldn't have signed Gordon. Sandow is gone guys, we don't have the money or a position for him.
  • Yes glad we didn't get this bloke as always said he is over rated. Always caught out of position and can't read the play and poor defensive reads and defence in general. Gorden is a great support player and will go well at the back for us.

  • Aye, very glad being a good winger didn't mean your going to be a great fullback
