Blog with Buzz Rothfield: Was leaving Shaun Johnson out of my top 50 NRL players a mistake?

YOUR columnist left Shaun Johnson out of the top 50 players last week because he has been so inconsistent for years. On Saturday night’s form - and on a consistent basis - the Warriors halfback would make any top 10.

Shaun Johnson had a cracking match for the Warriors in round one.

Your columnist left Shaun Johnson out of the top 50 players last week because he has been so inconsistent for years.

On Saturday night’s form - and on a consistent basis - Johnson would make any top 10.

It was an electrifying performance from the Warriors halfback, who had racked up two try assists and two linebreaks during the 32-20 win over the Rabbitohs in Perth.
