Anthony Griffin going from coach to commentator seems weird. Some excellent insight no doubt but he just doesn't sound fit for the job.
ahahahahah that they got GI to do it is even better
Wonder why they still have it tbh. Typical of the nrl not to attend to actually stripping the trophy from the team they supposedly stripped it from.
I was a kid so this could be nostalgia but Jones had a longer peak and is one of the greatest of all time. Johnson could be the Johnson of League though. Insane talent.Is Johnson better than Stacy Jones?
Bloody good question mate that was a tremendous performance. Made tough work of that game though but credit to the 12 man Titans completingIs Johnson better than Stacy Jones?
I’d be inclined to say no, even though I’m a much bigger fan of Johnson than I was of Jones. Johnson has all the skills whereas I always felt like Jones was pretty much a nippy, run-first guy who wasn’t really a well-rounded playmaker like the top Aussie halves and was probably a bit overrated by NZ fans.Is Johnson better than Stacy Jones?
Hoping the Eels give them a hiding so the Sharks still haven't actually beaten a top eight team.With the missus (eels fan) and Kraken snr (even bigger dragons dribbler than me) at todays game. This has dragons by 2 or parra by 20+ all over it
Yeah Johnson is a genuinely odd player for a bloke so obviously gifted. He really does seem to mail it in for whole seasons at a time, but when he’s switched on he’s next levelI’d be inclined to say no, even though I’m a much bigger fan of Johnson than I was of Jones. Johnson has all the skills whereas I always felt like Jones was pretty much a nippy, run-first guy who wasn’t really a well-rounded playmaker like the top Aussie halves and was probably a bit overrated by NZ fans.
I still want to say no though because Jones was basically Jones for a decade, whereas Johnson has had some good patches (2011, 2014-15, 2020, 2023) and also been really **** a lot of the time. There’s an argument as to whether he’s genuinely been **** or just **** relative to expectations, but to me Johnson has actually just sucked quite a lot.
