Alex Johnston Contract Discussion

[Mossman]

Word around town.

Well if this is the word around town , I'm glad I told the Mrs / kids to get me a BCF voucher instead of membership renewal

Yep , I’m tending to be happy my out of town membership auto renewal stopped as well.
Been waiting for a X factor signing to renew!!
.......waiting..... leftovers again??

 

[The-moP]

what's even worse is we are taking a player which allows them to sign Latrell Mitchell...wow

Surely this can be real?

exactly .. why should we help Souffs out .. take their unwanted players at top dollar to ease their cap up so they can sign LM .. screw them lets help ourselves first and get the player we want .. !!

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Perhaps the Roosters knew he would not re-sign because he had committed to another club? He wasn't interested in our offer which was a large one so he must have been happy with his future plans. AJ is a good buy and if we can get JAC we have done well. I would happily trade Nofo for JAC to get him from the Storm. We have very good options for right wing.

If aj is available you would think melb would be interested as a jac replacement

AJ wants to play FB.

No way he gets a shot at FB in Melb.

If aj is available you would think melb would be interested as a jac replacement **if they thought aj was any good**

Fixed

can we please give nofo the fb spot, good acceleration, hard ball running option, fantastic finishing ability, would be lethal in attack coming of magic benji balls. come on madge lets get this guy Learning how to organise the d line and hed be a gun fullback similar to RTS IMO...also has a good short kicking game.
a back 3 of NOFO, AJ, JAC would be awesome!!

 

[Mossman]

If we come out of this with JAC and Souths paying most of AJ that’s not too bad.

 

[Dyloh]

Tiges have made some bad calls over the years but surely were still not stupid enough to take AJ from Souths. If we end up with AJ and Mitchell goes to South's will be absolute proof that the club is run by a bunch of jokers. We got enough skirts playing in a tigers jersey as it is without another clown just here to collect his bad contract.

No idea how to defend himself let alone organise anyone else. Yes great idea, let’s do it!

Imagine if we took AJ so JAC and LM can fit in at Souths.

defending at fb is very different to on the wing...he was originally a fb....reminds me of Isaako, good attacking weapon but just cant seem to defend on the wing....imo we've been using nofo wrong for the past 2 years, kids talent under the right coach.

 

[new smoking gun]

Not possible. Arrow should be announced officially soon for Souths. They have replaced like for like money to get him.

AJ should be announced tomorrow if not this afternoon. JAC needs the release from storm. Once that’s done he will sign with tigers.

 

[marzie]

Tigers dont need both though. Signing alex johnstone makes zero sense. Not a smart buy if it happens

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Nofo cant defend at all scores a great try per game yet lets in 2 or 3 himself
im sure he is a nice bloke but over payed for his position AJ on the wing would be better

Webster spoke the other day about KPIs they all set for themselves at the beginning of the season and track the progress of these "KPIs" throughout the season Ha. I believe this club likes to do a lot of talking and thinks that if they say the right things, us supporters will eat that rubbish up. The club as a whole need to have a good hard look at themselves and their KPIs as either the bar must be set very low, the KPIs are just made up or it's ok to not hit your targets. Our recruitment is terrible and has been for many years, our lack of finals football is a joke, our facilities are only now about to get a lift (1 KPI I'll give them) and the list could go on. Our club appears to be heading in the right direction financially, but it isn't improving others areas of the club (so far). We appear an undesirable club to many players and God I hope this improves soon as we will be bottom feeders forever. Sorry, just my opinion and venting of some frustration.

A lot of people going off half cocked, and jumping to some very emotion fuelled conclusions. Most, if not all, without a single shred of evidence as well.
Condemn after the fact but before anything is made official then its a waste of time and energy.

 

[diedpretty]

Everyone keeps banging on about " if we get JAC". He has 2 years to run on his contract at Melbourne. Bellamy has already said he is going nowhere. Players might be able to walk out on contracts at our club thanks to weak kneed administration however I think its a big ask to expect Melbourne to let JAC walk out on his contract.

It's what we do best on here
