Matthew Johns shows his class.

Matt wrote an acorticle this morning in the Telegraph titled "A PUNCHY NSW REPLY."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   He covered Madge's dig at Slater and then went on to surprise with his insight of the coming duel between the centres in the upcoming origin. Have a look.

  • Sorry guys just had a visit from an electrician to do a replacement wall socket so the power had to be stopped for 10 minutes. The appeal of the story was not just Johns knowledge of the intricasies of the match-ups but the picturres he painted in your mind of the skirmishes to come. Matt has just elevated himself to a higher level in my mind.

  • Definitely a classy guy, always brings wipes to a GB.

"Woo hoo!
Still massive defensive issues but there's a team in there... we're far better with the bench forwards + Walker on more. Not sold on Pezet at all but maybe more time... be fine if Joash came in there though."

"How many times did he look to pass the ball after catching it. He is clearly not 100% with his hand and not match fit either. He scores that try 99/100 times when he picked up the lose ball"
