Agree, Johannsen is such an awkward tackle! Reminds me a bit of Heilum Luki - you wouldn’t know if to tackle him if he ran those lines. Would love to see him start this season in the backrow! Defensively strong, runs hard and got a great offload! One of the those blokes that would never let you down and huge upside 🔥

they havent grasped their opportunities..simple as that
and cant see how anything will change

Because they aren’t good enough as simple as that. It’s not by choice.

I wonder who we will go after if Bateman is gone? We really need some 1 to fill that role

if he goes soon we should have some big dollars to shop with. And his top 30 spot to fill.

Tim Johanssen going to win the 2025 Dally M and play SOO by the sounds of it

Even odds by mid season after a few losses he’s labeled king of the plodders

We will be paying half his salary, so not much left after we sign the remaining finau , currently on a train and trial contract

I reckon Losing Gibbs and Ellis from the side around the same time killed our attitude in D,
We've never had a bloke that lead it since.
We've never had a hard man in D, But those blokes where about as good as we've ever had.

Gareth Ellis was probably our best ever in terms of consistency, wish he was around longer.

Why don't you give the bloke a chance before you start bagging him in your usual fashion.

No idea how the magpies were the worst with all these ready made first graders mentioned.

No idea but why don't you post something positive for a change It won't kill you.

God man, if you think this is bad, you should have seen me last off season 😅

Im considerably more optimistic this off season. Except it’s a given that at some point during the season that the defence and coach are going to major talking points. And not for the right reasons.

I have stated previously that i would love to see Tim Johannsen turn into a good player, but the way he's being talked up around here is a bit ridiculous and very premature.

He's not even in the top 30... He has 6 props in front of him in the pecking order, 7 if you include Seyfarth. I honestly believe its more likely that he doesnt even play a single NRL game next season than him playing 1.

The best forward WT have ever had.

He is not getting bagged ....if anything Tim is getting too much smoke blown up his ass
..... same as Sukkar ......how many minutes of NRL has he played ......25 ....it's just ridiculous sometimes ....

As Bellamy would say with his little wry grin, maybe ask me about these guys once they’ve had a season or two in first grade.
