DCE vs Johnson

[ALinda]

DCE’s physical toughness is often overlooked. Even when his attack is off (and it was at times this year), he rarely shirks his defensive work and puts in a lot of effort plays like leading the kick chase.

Spot on and I think his defence and his speed are often overlooked.

On current form there are much better half backs out there than both of them!

Maybe, but I thought I'd go for a couple that are much maligned.

Both can be brilliant and both can be poor on any given game
I’ll back DCE as both can win you a game but I think Johnson cam loose you a game

Dce bye a mile . Johnson can be brilliant but goes missing to often .

My opinion is id prefer neither. Not about talent as such but cap. Both can be devasting on the day but neither provide the consistent approach a team needs to challenge the top sides.

In a cap free world where the could compliment a playmaker they would be almost untouchable.

But complimentry wages should be applied

**** id love to have a flashy mansion on the north shore and id really remember the great parties overlooking the harbour once i was bankrupted and realise how long it would take me to get back into my own more humble existence

I might be able to afford the payments until it needed repairs, the car **** itself, or the bills started mounting

Its me i am a little conservative, have plans, aim for them and rarely get tempted by overindulging in something that sways me from the ultimate prize no matter how appealing they may be

I just like for our team to be competitive in every match ,and i dont believe the cap bite for either player and the consistency they bring would allow that.

A lot of compelling posts stating why people think DCE is better. I think DCE is a better 5/8 but Johnson is a better halfback. DCE better overall, a more complete player but positionally I still think it’s fraudulent that he’s worn the 7 on his back his whole career. Controversial I know but I have my reasons to form that personal opinion

Shaun Johnson is an absolute myth, is the biggest flat track bully in the game
