Raiders express interest in Shaun Johnson, he signs with Sharks
Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
CANBERRA are preparing to make a play for unwanted New Zealand Warriors star halfback Shaun Johnson as the November 1 silly season begins.
Raiders officials have unanimously agreed Johnson would complete an already strong Canberra spine.
While no official offer has been tabled, Canberra have started discreet moves to pursue Johnson for next season — not 2020. New Raiders assistant coach Andrew McFadden is behind the push, having coached Johnson at the Warriors.

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
Good to hear us mentioned as chasing a star at least.
Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
Have been hearing the Raiders are chasing a big name half... I'm happy if Johnson is the one.

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
Would be a very exciting signing. But I keep thinking of what he said about Canberra before.
I bet he signs with the Roosters, Storm or Broncos

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Would seem strange that we would be going for Ryley Jacks and Shorn Johnson..

With Tapine and Rapana in the NZ squad it could be some help in getting it across the line.

One isn’t a first grader and the other is a marquee player I mean.. I suppose cap can be shifted around

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
If they are to sign Johnson... they'll have to shift players probably... or find a big TPA.

Imagine having Croker, Sezer, Johnson and Williams as your goal kicking depth

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
Big question. Would you lose Rapana for SJ
Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
Shaun Johnson would be a massive signing. He would fit in brilliantly to our squad.

Don't forget the influence of Cappy McFadden who has essentially been his coach for last 5+ years.
Norman to warriors as per rumours; gutherson partner with Moses in eels halves and....they re sign Hayne to be fullback. Boom.
Welcome to Canberra Mr. Johnson

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
I will say one thing if we sign Johnson we won’t run out of things to talk about. He is a classic match winner but will fit in perfectly here as the classic scapegoat if things don’t go well.
Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
Would be an absolute dream signing. He is literally the missing piece of the puzzle, an elite half.

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
Guys it’s the same old story, article comes out. Bigger club comes in and signs the player.
We are not getting him. You can have Rapana, Tapine and McFadden but that won’t mean a thing when it all comes to money.
I’m not a party pooper, I’m just over it.
I would honestly like us to do something stupid like make him the highest paid player in the game just so we buck the trend but it won’t happen.

Things haven't been well in years bar that one year in 2016. He will improve our squad dramatically.

Whilst this is all true, we are bucking the trend in the sense its Shaun freaking Johnson and the Raiders in the same sentence. And not the sentence 'Shaun Johnson brilliance upsets Raiders in final 10'.

I suppose it looked like we were signing Jacks and TPJ at one point, could be throwing more of that into Johnson and having a ploder as the forward.greeneyed wrote:If they are to sign Johnson... they'll have to shift players probably... or find a big TPA.

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
I mean, he will sign with the roosters but if there’s a remote possibility that we have A spine with Hodgson Johnson Sezer and wighton, than get it done.

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson
He'd be a considerable improvement on what we have ATM but I think it's unlikely.
Hopefully he'll join the Panthers and the Raiders can pick up Maloney.
