He was an interesting one Johnson, you mentioned he was older which was the only factor against him, otherwise had a solid year.

But we are really light on for nsw cup centres, I think it'll be Buchanan (other than perhaps sg ball period) and one of Allan or Feagai..

Showed the young fella can read the play. He went to the line with his chip kick to make it a hi percentage play. So he may well turn out to be a beaut.
I don't buy it but we will see. I'm just saying, I'm glad we have Reed rather than him.

Corey Ackers new injury to his knee,
I recall two things while watching Corey smashing himself into the defense and pile driving guys into the dust as a 15/16 year old, firstly what a weapon this kid is and secondly that if he did not curb his almost manic aggression he'd be in for a lot of injuries over his career. My prophesy has come true as he has suffered injury after injury the past two seasons.

Last 2 injuries weren't suffered on the field.

I am a big fan of Ashton Ward.

You'll need to follow him at the Rabbitohs

I'm not the best judge of halves. A few years I would have sworn Bud Sullivan was going to be a our long-term halfback and a very good one.

Not sure where Amone went wrong. I mean on the field. I thought maybe Griffin told him to become a playmaker to compliment Hunt's running game.

Amone was a bit of a 1 trick pony with a poor long kicking game but promising short kicking game. I don't think he had a big upside.

Sullivan got done with injuries, fitness & then poor coaching. Honestly think going to the tigers with a rookie coach was a bad decision for him. He should've taken the Alamoti/Blore route take unders but go to a club that's known for good development. Although the tigers $$$ were great.

Kicking can be taught but he only had that big, greatly exaggerated step. I would have liked to see if Flanno could have gotten a bit more, or a lot more out of Amone.

St George Illawarra have denied any interest in Adam Doueihi, Daniel Atkinson and Brayden Trindall.
If Flanno starts next season with Kyle at 5/8 might go crazy. It will be confirmation Flanno puts the RL career of Kyle over the interests of the club.
