If we could swap JR for Shaun Johnson, we would fix several issues: 80% goal kicker and x factor!

i can't see how that would benefit cronulla in any way.

Shaun Johnson a bit like benji rocks or diamonds

 

[walter]

Leading the NRL in try assists this year. Quite easily too. In current form he’d be our best half by a very long way. In fact he has more try assists than all our halves combined.

Try assists are a pretty poor stat, you can get one for a bomb which is just hope, or for passing to another player who does all the work.

Johnson is playing well, they’d be a lot lower down the table without him there.

This talk of Saab being a dud is absolutely ludicrous. A 19 year old kid, with 6 career games playing in a lackluster side...

For sometime now it's been very clear what we need most is a winger with size and speed. Saab fits the bill just as good as any.

With some solid coaching Saab will flourish into a Daniel Tupou like player over the next few years.

I hope you're right and having seen his defence he's going to need it. There's more to wing than just size. Not saying he can't develop but at 20 years of age (he is almost 20), you should have worked most of those things out by then. If we do get him, then let's hope Madge can turn him into a Tupou - that would be wonderful.

Look at Luciano who could be in the running for rep selection. You need to look more deeply than what he is displaying now. Get him in a tough environment where he needs to work hard. Think of basic training in the armed forces.

Yes agree but given our record signing people who are prone to getting out of their contracts early in the past (when we didn't want them to - it seems he has been trying to get out of his?) and the fact that St George aren't pushing him for first grade, I can't really say this gives me great confidence that he is up for the hard work. His highlights are ok but there certainly isn't any of his defence.

If we sign him, would love him to prove me wrong and I hope he does. Will be first to admit I made the wrong call.

Re Burton, his too small: 🙂
Re Sonny Bill. Roosters have filled their 30 for this year and will need to move on a player to fit him in...

Yeh Burton is 190cm and 88kg, that is not small, SBW is younger than Benji

^ I know mate. Was joking. Quite Lanky but has solid skills considering. Penrith apparently want to turn him into a backrower...

All good, why turn him in to a backrower, he will leave for sure

If we could swap McQueen for David Fifita it would solve some issues too!

see that Suali 16 year old from Kings has knocked back Souths to sign with Rugby Australia 3 million for 3 years wow.
My mates son olayed against him for Joeys and Joeys beat them but he carried the Kings team

I'd say Illawarra wouldn't use an NRL opportunity on a player potentially leaving. Illawarra have the Fergai bros (both Aus School reps) and the young speedster from Molong, Cody. Ramsay to develop.

Yes I’m sure the struggling Broncos would jump at the chance to swap their extremely talented young, game breaking back rower for a broken down 30+ back rower past his used by date ?

I thought Rugby were broke... but i'm happy scummy souffs missed out

 

[Don Kershane]

Wussell will be fuwious!

 

[Goldust]

Suaalii is an absolute gun
My neighbor coached him for a few years.
A freak athlete,many sports were chasing him .
The Panthers also missed out on him big time.

 

[The_Patriot]

Whose that guy picked in the 14 for the Broncos. He might be a good signing 😂

Rugby getting closer to oblivion.Spending big dollars on a young bloke will not save them just make them even more of a basket case
