    @bovidae Vossie this morning didnt paint the picture of him being the next big thing.

    Listened to him talked about the Brisbane Broncos having an abundance of halfback talent and thought he was hinting that the Warriors need to do a raid on the Brisbane roster. The RS crew didn't seem to pick up on that.

    We've had success in the past picking up players in the Nth Queensland catchment area too

        I like SJ as a player but him and the Warriors should’ve parted ways a couple of seasons ago for both of their good.

        SJ needed a new scenery and away from NZ. The Warriors needed to breath some new life into their game also.

          I agree its a good move for both parties . its not working

          But its also one where Warrior fans could end up watching on with a bit of disappointment , got the feeling SJ could get himself into a different environment and go to a different level ,

          Like the ex girlfriend who looks so much hotter after she leaves you .

            Based on all the reports in the last few days SJ will need to change his attitude and training habits at his new club.

                  That’s true , it’s almost like he needs a new role,

                  A freewheeling 6 rather than a playmaking 7 , behind a dominant pack , he will slice you up ,

                  I think a club who has that pack, and the 7 already , could look at him as a bit of icing on the cake , without that pack , probably a waste of time

                    Can the Warriors restructure some of their longer contracts to take advantage of the new cap room this year?

                      He's like Benji-lite. Got all the fancy moves but yet to deliver on the big stage at the right time (unlike Benji)

                          pretty divisive player from fan POV.

                          Been a big topic on Radio Sport obviously, plenty in support of the Warriors getting rid of him, plenty thought it was handled poorly, but I think majority thought the end result is best all round.

                            It frees up cap space and that is more important than having Shaun Johnson on the roster. Although they finished only two points behind first place, anyone who watched them all season long could tell it was still a seriously flawed roster.

                            SJ should do alright at the Sharks but they look to be in trouble both in terms of the salary cap (which they have apparently breached already) and financially. Don't think SJ sees out his three years there tbh.

                                The speed of that signing suggests it was well planned before he handed in his resignation

                                  Or his negotiation window for 2020 opened up in November so he would have known the shortlist of interested teams and the framework for some potential deals.

                                    Did any other team apart from the Sharks have enough cap space to sign SJ?

                                    And would the Sharks if Holmes hadn't left?

                                      Having cap space available has not stopped other teams in the past.

                                        Wayne Bennett is ggooonnneee as coach of the Brisbane Broncos. Only a matter of time before the Warriors do a raid on the Brisbane roster and acquire Kodi Nikorima.

                                          No surprise. Bennett was waiting for his payout so was never going to resign.
