Cooper Johns

[Not Paul Kent]

Per Buzz Rothfield’s column today. Don’t mind this as a depth signing if the money is right.

Has looked alright when playing first grade at Melbourne.

“If the money is right”Silvertails favourite expression.The right money for him is to pay Manly to play.Like Kyle Flanagan,he is a stand and pass halfback.If the Storm don’t want him,what does that tell you?

Interesting. Who would you target as a depth signing in the halves?

Storm not interested in keeping him so not sure he is that good. I was more interested in this bit

SHOOSH

There is very strong mail that the Manly Sea Eagles recently sounded out Melbourne Storm’s general manager of football Frank Ponissi about the possibility of him returning home to Brookvale. A close mate of Des Hasler, he declined.

Would have been nice to have Frank home.

 

[mutley]

surely our development players offer more than johns

 

[Red Pill]

NO

Humphreys is already better than Johns imo

I’d trust the alleged pathways program the club raves about.There’s a distinct lack of quality halves in the game,let alone back ups.Only difference between the likes of Flanagan/Johns and the players currently at the club that could fill in,is that those two have actually played first grade,but not at a good standard.Adam Keighran is available

Johns is a manly junior, probably just wants to come home.

 

[maxta]

Would have rathered Frank Ponissi just quietly

sign cooper then try to get matty involved

 

[Sheikheagle]

I actually think this would be a good depth signing. No world beater but solid and wouldn’t break the bank.

sign cooper then try to get matty involved

Why?

 

[Shoe1]

Wikipedia says he’s already here. Played junior reps at manly.

At least if we sign Johns we won't get Flanigan

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Flanigan

Flanigan is at least a pretty good defender.
Know nothing about Johns

 

[2830 Eagle]

Pretty sure one of Mattys kids was a ballboy for us and used to see Matty at Brookvale quite a bit when he was banished from the media a few years ago.

I know he wouldn't be that expensive, but surely with the cap issues we've had we would be better off using the youngsters we already have and giving them a go when needed. I don't really see the value in it. Put the money towards a better player rather than filling the squad with mediocrity

We have to fill a squad of 30 anyway, good insurance if the kids aren’t quite ready.
