RE: BREAKING NEWS : Andrew Johns joins Manly in exclusive deal

I think this is great. We have a great winning culture to attract good young players with a chance to win a premiership. Now we also have an immortal involved with the club. The only club that has an immortal actively involved. This will also be a great draw card for the club. Think of the extra exposure we should generate. The extra corporate sponsorship. I think it will do good for our halves/hooker especially, our team and club in general. We are a powerhouse on the field, now were working towards it off field as well.

Our attack should be awesome next year with Johns onboard.
With great attack we will need better Defence.I smell another Premiership.

I'd rather see soemone who is Manly to the core filling these ambassadorial roles. I've no problems with us paying him for his coaching expertise, but can't cop him marketing our club. The sooner Beaver gets back here the better.

Extremely embarrassing.

For the Knights.

I do believe i got there first!

Regarding the ambassadorial nature of his role, it probably wasn't the right term to use.

In his role Andrew will be involved in some of our events as host and special guest, and we will have access to interview him for website content etc. That's basically what was meant by 'ambassador'.

Such as at a Qld fan function after his commentary has finished for nein ;-)
I'd be lining up for a photo and autograph don't know about the rest of you
 
RE: BREAKING NEWS : Andrew Johns joins Manly in exclusive deal

Does not get any better than the addition of the latest immortal who knows the game better than anyone & has proven it imo.
Also a huge competitor who will also add steel with his attitude.
Johns knows how to win & has made some average players look very good in his career, so expect the already talented Manly side to hit a new level in 2013.
The signings have been huge off season & this is as good as any.

An extraordinary achievement.

For mine, there is zero doubt Joey will be a game changing appointment. The remarkable thing is that once again the Manly club has stepped ahead of every other NRL club to recognize that this initiative can make a massive difference in a tight world class competition.

Perry understood that while Joey previously consulted to various clubs with some level of success, if he focused full time translating his specialist knowledge exclusively to one club, he could link that knowledge directly to premierships.

A fantastic appointment and one that I hope lasts a long time.

I think this is great news. DCE and Foz (and manly of course) should benefit heaps from joeys signing.

It is strange he is a club ambassador, but hey, if it brings in the cash for manly, why not.

I don't think Johns has ever confessed to using performance enhancing drugs

Last time I looked recreational drugs were on the banned substances list. Who's to say the uppers and downers he took didn't help him cope with his mental condition, then by definition they enhanced his performance.

Very positive news for our club. This will give DCE, Foz, Ballin etc a real shot in the arm.

Thanks for the clarification Larissa on Joey's off field commitments. Is Fatty still going to be the face of the MWSE recruitment drive?

So he's "Andrew" now? ;) Not, Mr Johns, or "your immortalness", or God?

Great result by the club and well done once again to P-Plater Perry :)

I have always felt that he and his brother were closet Manly fans.

I feel the same way. They live in the area now, they help the club out whenever they can...makes you think that technically we won in 97 because they thought they were playing for Manly at the time ;)

So Yow-Yeh should be banned for 2 years for taking a procedure that will improve his performance after what happened to him?

I'd let him take ghb if it was to help depression, but good way to make depression seem like a cold
 
RE: BREAKING NEWS : Andrew Johns joins Manly in exclusive deal

And i think the fact that we hired Brad Arthur to look after the full time assistant role will prove to be a masterstroke also. Well done Manly Football Dept.

I think Matt was a Manly supportter as a kid - although I could be wrong on this one.
 
RE: BREAKING NEWS : Andrew Johns joins Manly in exclusive deal

Pretty sure i've heard that too, Wheel.

There is a good chance of killers rate of slotting them from the sideline improving too.

He has a football brain second to none.

Have you ever listened to his commentary when a game is on. he reads it so much better than anyone else and our play will improve out of sight this year.

I bet the team are thirilled to have him work with us especially all the new signings.
