Alex Johnston

[loyalotiger01]

We've all seen Johnston play and how mediocre he can play as a fullback and how great he can play as a wing. I think we should go for Johnston as a potential fullback replacement for Tedesco. However, we can also put him on the wing if Lolohea signs.

 

[Nelson]

We shouldn't go anywhere near him. Too crap as a fullback and too expensive for a winger.

 

[TSupps05]

The only thing he offers is speed and nothing else surely Cleary steers away from him.

 

[MightyTiger]

No. Need to stay well clear of him he is hopeless especially at fullback.

Can someone start a thread for every player in the NRL ESL ISP Intrust Super (QLD) PNG (Local) NZ (Local) Super 15 French Rugby Japanese Rugby SA Rugby EPL and even as far as the Bundesliga who we should sign..thanks..

Oh…. No to Johnston...

Apparently we are closing to signing Alex Johnston. What are your opinions and will he be a good asset for the club. I reckon he will be used as a winger.
:sign:

 

[Harvey]

Horribly overrated and not a first grade fullback. Every signing is a question of how much are you paying them, he would be value on a minimum contract, but think we would be paying more

 

[GNR4LIFE]

This needed its own thread why?

 

[hobbo]

If he's signed to play on the wing ..sweet
If he's signed to play fullback ..Nooooooo !

As a winger a great buy if true. He can fill in at fullback in an emergency. We lack genuine pace on the wings and he has plenty of it.

 

[earl]

We need players like this.

 

[WT2K]

For wing - Yes
Would definitely add much needed speed to the backline. Good finisher too. Might be the one Gus was referring to?

He's only 22\. He scored 21 tries in his first 18 games. He's won a grand final. He represented his country. Quality winger, average fullback. Good signing if true.

Yep I don't know what some of the whinging is about. He would be a great winger. I agree, would be disappointed if he is signed for the permanent FB role however this is surely going to Lolohea. He can cover at FB which is great.

Is young and does bring big game experience. Sometimes a change is all a player needs to rediscover past form…

Agree mate, we need plenty of players, they cant all be elite ones, Johnston would be a huge upgrade on what we have now

 

[Demps]

Id take him for sure as a winger…

Crazy unco style like Nightingale.
Knows how to score a try.

Not a fullback tho.

 

[Muffstar]

Better than what we have so seems like a good upgrade to me.
