Cronulla coach pulls his Johnson during loss to Brisbane.

Warriors may be having a mediocre season but looks like they dodge a bullet by releasing Johnson instead of extending his contract.
-
Welcome to the rocks and diamonds show!! Something we 'enjoyed' for many years. When he's on he is pure fire, but when he ain't...
Was he ever pulled at the Warriors? can't recall that happening from memory. Plus I guess you've got to have someone to actually replace him with lol
-
@Paekakboyz Yeah I think he was pulled from a game in favour of Thomas Leuluai who was on the bench. I think the excuse was he was injured but he was crap in that game.

Not NRL but have just been watching the Fiji v Tokelau Rugby League 7s from the South Pacific Games at Apia Park. What a glorious mud bath the field has become after what must have been plenty of recent rain. For Wellingtonians the playing surface is very reminscient of Martin Luckie or Prince of Wales Parks on a bad day. Fantastic stuff.
-
SJ and his huge contract catching a lot of heat this week. So i guess he's not a freak talent being wasted in a dud team like you thought when you only watched him every 3 weeks?
Soft downhill skier.

That's on the sharks for thinking they could get a tune out of him. Weekend after weekend warriors fans knew who he was all along
-
I'm off to the Wellington game so I hope they haven't dropped him for that... or do I!!?

We're passive, he'll run riot against us. Perfect downhill slope
-
Another controversial disallowed try by the video ref.
Extra time on now.
-
who Can execute under pressure ?
Looking like neither atm
-
You could probably play another 10 minutes and it would still be a draw
-
Least we didn’t lose....
-
Two identical teams, good pieces to build around but can't figure out how to win games. Pretty much eliminated each other from playoffs contention with that draw.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck ran over 367 metres tonight while Jazz Tevaga made 72 tackles and had the Warriors stuck to just dummyhalf running instead of the one and out play they like to do, the Warriors probably win this game easily.
Ken Maumalo going off early in the second half with a concussion didn't help things.
-
Also #CAM400 happened tonight as the Storm pumped the Sharks. Easily the best player of all time.

Been plenty of great players but don’t think we have seen anyone be as consistent, for so long, it’s like you have to scratch your head thinking if and when did he ever have a shocker .
I don’t think he ever did ? and that isnt normal.
-
@kiwiinmelb totally, at worst he'd just make his tackles and chime in with the odd assist or three!! When really firing he just runs his team over the other team. Best game manager we've seen I reckon.
-
Benji Marshall brings up his 300th game today. While Cam Smith is the greatest player of all time, Benji is up there as one of the most influential. I would say it is between him and Joey Johns.

@Sneakdefreak Thurston? Langer? Freddy?
