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.

You’re mixing two different things again, player value judgements and how contracting actually works.
Saying “Guymer is replicable and Tuivaiti isn’t” is just your opinion on player ceilings. That’s not proof of recruitment failure or proof a deal…"

"Ooh, can I help? So, Chiefy wants Daniel Anderson back as GM so the Eels can go spoon, 10th, 12th? Oh yeah, also so that the Eels can breach the salary cap, get fined half a million, and get docked competition points.
