Alex Johnston Contract Discussion

[Tiger5150]

I've got to say this new smoking gun has a vastly different tone to the previous one. Participates in a lot of childish banter that the old one didn't.
I still don't understand why they haven't reclaimed the old profile if they are indeed the same. All they need to do is reset the password.
Until then it seems obvious they are 2 different people. Coming up with all kinds of rumours within hours

FWIW I had exactly the same issue and had to change my username.

You want to judge him on one full pre-season his plan looks ok to me and a lot better than Ivan’s

He’s signed a bench prop from st George, potentially a Rabbitohs reject (so they have enough cap space to buy the player we actually wanted) and a guy who’s played one nrl game. I’m
Not convinced.

He could sign a corpse and some people would defend it.

Matterson was a bench player as well we let him go because he was a potential reject so ever player that is released by there club is a reject.The player that we actually wanted did not want us is that to difficult to understand , and no I don’t always agree with every signing decision

Couldn't hook up with Angelina Jolie(Latrell) so settled for Rebel Wilson(AJ)

I shouldn't post here as I'm potentially feeding the smoking troll.

However, I feel for the fans doing it tough with all this up and down hysteria.

Firstly you are being played for the benefit of some anonymous person's ego. Even if AJ signs, or JAC or whoever, when you read every rumor on the internet and then say ""done deal" eventually you get one right.

Secondly, when assessing whether we could use player X, Y or Z, don't compare them to Mitchell. Instead, ask whether they would have improved our 2019 squad and I believe in many cases the answer is yes.

If they come with half the skills of LM at half the cost and risk then so be it.

The bloke has won a premiership haha

With a roster that Richardson & Lang built. 2 years later he was battling to avoid the spoon.

Someone talking sense. High five to you Elderslie!

It’s the equivalent of me pursuing Angelina Jolie for months and then after the 100th rejection saying ‘I’m now drawing a line in the sand’

Angelina Jolie is like Alex Johnston
There are many more better and sexier actresses to pick from then Angelina
Think Natalie Portman
Keira Knightley
Amber Heard
Scarlett Johansson
If you can't get the best you move on

So why didn't Lang win it?
As a fan I'll cop battling for the spoon if he delivers us a Comp first

AJ would not be my 1st preference but he is still a good signing and I am happy with this signing
At least he isn't kicking stones like LM
He will do a good job for us and create more competition for spots which can only be a good thing
LM is a risk for anyone at the moment
I think the Media attention and Social media gets to Latrell
Why do the Roosters really want Latrell gone ?
It's not the Money
Roosters wouldn't let Latrell go unless he was high maintenance as he certainly appears to be that
Or he has some other issues that are just to difficult to deal with
Sure he can be a great player on the day the Roosters know that
But they still want him gone
I will call it now but I think we avoided a bullet with LM
Give me AJ and Jac and still money to spend
Be interesting to see just how the season plays out

Have to agree about the Roosters and Latrell. They never let anyone go that they want to keep.There must be something apart from money involved.

I have said all along, the roosters pulled his contract because he was talking to souths much like Matto was with Parra before he was allowed to

Everyone needs to get a grip Madge knows what he's doing whats the use of chasing LM if he wanted to be here he would be here now.There has been so much BS in regard to LM that it's smack of double standards he saying Souffs are good to the Indigenous players however to get to Souffs three of his Indigenous brothers have to be shafted go figure remember MADGE HAS A PLAN and if we can get players of 1st grade and SOO standard go for it we have spots to fill in our Cap and there's not to many options out there and if Souffs are contributing to their contracts happy days and also we are all keyboard warriors not RL Coaches

Another phrase I’m sick of “Madge has a plan”. Every coach has a plan.

Some are better than others

His one isn’t looking too crash hot at the moment though is it?

Retrospect means nothing in regards to Ivan. I’ve never seen a bigger man crush in all my years on the forum. At the time I’d hazard a guess and say you were on the bus as much as anyone else.

You and JT ring a bell

Hmmm.
I’m also sick of being told to have faith and confidence in our management and coach.
They delivered diddly squat for ten years.
You gotta earn that faith I’m afraid.

I don't think that's how faith works

I'll take Angelina if no-one else wants her 🙂

 

[Mossman]

So We pull our LM offer because we want to be aggressive in the market!!
Then Souths want to sign LM so we say ohh you need cap space?
Hay we can help with that !!


A lot of people saying we are helping Souths to sign LM, if he wants to go to Souths they will find a way someone one else will take there players.People need to move on from LM he is not coming was never coming

AJ wasn’t in the Market!

 

[Tim Sheens]

He could sign a corpse and some people would defend it.

Trusting that it was part of the plan.

That's funny - might I recommend spec savers.

 

[TillLindemann]

The bloke has won a premiership haha

He's won two!

 

[Russell]

AJ has speed, someone said he is only 24 - surely he has something else to recommend him.

Jennings is only 23 - look what happened there.

AJ would come here (couldn't wait I would think) because Souffs don't want him and neither do anyone else....except maybe us (The Plodders Retirement Home).

Some people on here are saying - there are no really good players available now so you have to grab what is available....That sounds like what Cleary did in his recruitment. All we have had since then is complaints Reynolds, Packer, Matulino etc. etc.

Let's not do that again eh!.......well, only if you want to set the club back another two years.

It sounds like you’ll be disappointed to see a back three of AJ, Nofo and Robert Jennings next year?

Nobody seems to want to be coached by him except plodders and retirees just saying !
