      Puts a smile on my face to see NZ going well in the comp and SJ finding his form again, but the Broncos will end their streak this weekend

      SJ has really mastered his game, it is amazing how good halfbacks work hard and play for years, and then suddenly transform into geniuses.

      I look at SJ and then wonder wonder what bonehead at souths decided to let Adam Reynolds go after nearly a decade at the club?

      Not going to lie, i thought he had a terrible year last year and wasn’t playing well at all. I was expecting hime to retire at the end of 2022 and was maybe even thinking it would be better for the team if he just hung up the boots. I don't know exactly what the catalyst for the change in his playing style was but he is really turned things around. He's gone from being a one man super star in his youth to being a vetran tactician that guides the play all over the paddock and brings out the best in the team around him. Whatever else happens this year he and Andrew Webster deserve all the praise they are receiving for giving the warriors the best season they have had in many, many years.

      Johnson in his career has had one good coach until now and that was Cleary for only half a year. No half would ever reach their potential playing under the duds he's had to deal with over his career. Mclennan, Kearney, Elliot, Brown, all duds and having Mclennan as his second year coach was probably the worse of the lot considering they went from a well drilled grand final team to a just go out and have fun mess of a team the following year

      The Warriors are playing a more clinical brand of league, there error rate is nonexistent at times. And they believe in one another. Shaun Johnsons maturity has made him a better all-round player. Andrew Webster also needs a huge pat on the back the things he has instilled into the playing team have turned them around. HOLD ON AND DOMINATE THE BALL BOYS. 2

      Absolutely Unreal! He is playing better than he ever has…and it’s not even close. He is now the player we all longed for him to be throughout S career…..and man oh man has he done that..and some.

      Many people coaches under estimate how much making a player comfortable and happy to be part of an outfit inspires them to perform. SJ was great early in his career because it was a joy to be where he was, the sharks was the opposite and back with warriors with a coach that make a player comfortable to try again has SJ at his best again.

      KIA KAHA Shaun Johnson – led the way once again, stay focussed, stay strong and safe hands always. We love how you work and keeping work mates busy – just a wonderful years achievements.

      Nah he's no good unless the forwards who have made the Warriors go ahead they are full filling there role and SJ is doing whats expected from him .They all have to work hard to put the team ehere they are SJ is part of that puzzle which has come together.
