Wouldn’t argue with that BR. Johnson had some great games for us but was dominated in others. Not through lack of effort. As you say, just his size meant that he couldn’t always get on top of his opponents.
But we knew he could do a job and that isn’t yet known about Dupree. I suspect the coaches would rather have kept Johnson and bring Dupree in with an eye on next year but either we couldn’t afford both or Widnes would only do a swap. Out of all our props I guess Johnson is the one we’ll miss the least so the right call from that point of view

Always wondered with players like Johnson, who’s trying to play as a prop, if it isn’t better to get them to mould themselves into 2nd row Bateman type players ie work on speed and stamina as opposed to bulk. Wells another for me seems to have bulked and slowed this season. As BR says tremendous heart and tackling ability but sadly never a SL prop.
Mind you I always think Bateman a bit overrated.

Couldn’t make the match but the tackling, inc Brierley’s seems to have improved looking at some clips. Was that the improvement over the past 3 games?

As you say Pkayers like lannon who play SR but personally I think he is a better middle has he is very strong etc and not to much to think in middle 😂
