Did Joey Johns just knock back SBW on live tv?

In regards to helping coach Samoa?

Don’t watch 9. Do they have both those guys on their coverage plus Fittler, Lockyer, JT and co? If so theyd bloody need an interpreter, Auslan specialist and C-3PO just to decipher what they are saying.

JOHNS BROTHERS REJECT PARISH OFFER

Matty Johns and Andrew Johns have rejected Matt Parish’s offer to assist the Samoan coach with Matty declaring “we aren’t interested in putting out witches’ hat for someone else”.

Johns caused a stir on Sunday when he volunteered that he and brother Andrew wanted to join forces with Sonny Bill Williams to help resurrect the fortunes of Samoa.

Talk of unrest among the Samoan playing group has lingered in the past year.

Parish offered the Johns boys an opportunity to join his coaching staff but Matty said he and Andrew would flat out reject the approach.

“You can’t walk into someone else’s regime and just assume control and apply the principles which we believe need to be put in place,” Johns said. “Joey and I won’t walk into some regime where we don’t have any input or control.”

“You can’t walk into someone else’s regime and just assume control and apply the principles which we believe need to be put in place,” Johns said.

Is the the same Mat Johns in this article:

*The ABC’s Four Corners program on Monday night claimed a teenage woman had been left feeling suicidal after participating in group sex with Johns and other Sharks players in a Christchurch hotel seven years ago. Her emotional claims were devastating television.

The woman claimed up to 12 players and staff had entered the room over a two-hour period, with six of them having sex with her. Four New Zealand police travelled to Sydney to investigate the incident, but no charges were laid.

Last week on the NRL Footy Show, Johns commented on the incident as a pre-emptive strike before the ABC show could air, claiming it had caused a lot of embarrassment to his family. There was no apology to the girl involved*

@manlyfan76 @globaleagle gulp! That is so on the mark by both of you calling that one in.

It always troubles me when we ignore this abhorrent behaviour of those siblings and throw their toilet dwelling mate in too.

it may have been in the past but I remind my boys what these guys did in the past and then refer back to the likes of Beaver Kite and Jakey!

Reading between the lines,without any inside info, that is fairly obvious.

Nevertheless it's unusual for a would-be coach or coaches to publicly try to undermine a current coach. Usually there are plenty of others, such as 'journalists' and'unnamed sources within the club' who do that job. Not the bloke who wants to take over.
