Alex Johnston Contract Discussion

[Geo]

Here we go ..if we are signing him it's spelt Johnston..similar to Clark but with a T..

It is good to have your input SG. It would be a pretty lacklustre off season without your information.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the info and thoughts of securing some of these names. But there is a difference between dreaming and what actually occurs. This morning LM and JAC were signed up. Now out of left field we have signed Johnston (can do a job but effectively the slops) and only a chance now of signing 1 of the 2 ‘definites’.

 

[new smoking gun]

If we do get him I sincerely hope it’s only as a winger ... average player at best ( like the ones we already have).

If the rumour is true that we are getting JAC and Johnson, then you'd think Johnson is going to play fullback.

At fullback, I'm not keen...hell...I don't even rate him as a winger!


Why do you not rate him he as speed and does know how to finish I think he is a good player

He's poor defensively and he's really only a support fullback - he can't ball play and I don't see him break tackles...we already have one of those in Thompson.

Secondly, I'd imagine we'd be paying him around the $500k mark...maybe more? He's no better than anyone we already have and for that money is expensive for what he offers.

Tigers would be paying more than his current contract worth? Weird flex. But ok.

Yippee Alex Johnston, Josh Addo-Carr and Latrell Mitchell all in the one week..

be still my heart..

Forgot to mention Arrow

I prefer Fifita..

Can't argue with you on that one. Sign him up.

Not a great signing but not terrible. He’s a better fullback than Thompson. I can live with it given we’ve missed LM.

Think Johnso nmn is a much better player then many om here give him credit for and def a better winger then our current and a better fb too for that matter.

I see him playing fullback.

Flex? I have no idea what his contract is worth...hence the question mark.

Easy up big guy...why don't you enlighten us?

LM skills or not.....AJ sounds like he is keen on playing for us, and he would have a point to prove....

Oh Geo....I think you need to have a lie down

Word on the street seems to change pretty quickly.

Under normal circumstances it would be a solid signing. But ts a hell of a let down from almost having LM.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

82 tries in 122 games. No way would this be a bad singing. Just as long as he’s a winger.

 

[Viking Warrior]

Madge loves him and rabbits need the cap space so they can get Lattrel. Talk about coming off second best.

No if geo. Sorry mate

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

If we missed out on LM we need to try to get something out of the situation (improves our roster). At the right price it would start to solve the speed issue we have in the back line. I think he improves the team.

That comment hit me in the feels
Imagine your club actually helping another club get a player we are all wanting 😭

But you also guaranteed LM was coming didn't you?

 

[Viking Warrior]

I would of rathered keep Marsters then Johnston if it's true
