Why would he sign with us? I get it we love the club but as a player you have the storm chasing you or us I know who I'm choosing.
Taufua injury?

200k per club, not per player, irrelevant of which player/s it is assigned to. DCE qualifies too.

Our best hope is he doesn't want to move to Melbourne.
he apparently doesn’t want to go there..

If Jorge has done his achilles which is a 12 month recovery and won't see him back at all next year. This is NOT a pre existing injury. Surely a new injury that sees you finish your career means you should 100% qualify to medically retire.
Do an Inglis and keep Jorge on as a water boy

The thing is we would be paying a fair bit more for him than what Melbourne are used to paying, or supposedly used to paying

He's obviously intelligent

Thing is, i doubt it very much that Jorge wants to retire

i'm pretty sure we won't be signing Johnston AND young Hoppa and also sure that Hoppa would be the clubs' choice.

He would most probably do what is best for the club with a bit of "inducement".

Agree. That is his 4th major injury and as bad an injury can get. No NRL teams would touch him and with the corona virus he wouldn't go overseas so id say retirement is definitely the way to go
What!! He has the corona virus as well

Well, if he's hooked up to a respirator it would explain his struggle turning to chase down kicks.

Let’s all have a chew!
Because Melb is f$&@ed due to covid. He lives in Sydney, manly have a good list (when fit), Des is a good coach, northern beaches are nice, climate is better, Smith won’t be there, we might pay more $$.... Do you want me to keep going? I’m sure I can pull some more reasons out.

I would still think for us to sign Johnson we would need to offload say Walker. I highly doubt we will just add him to what we have.
I do think Johnson would carve up as left winger outside Schuster and teaming up with Turbo down the left. Schuster will create so much space that Johnson would benefit from with his sheer speed

Souths might offer him a 280k trainee admin position
