Good honest interview, interesting insight into how professional the players are at the club

Nice to hear him talk about having confidence with the blokes either side of you when defending your try line. seems to have been lacking recently and not just defending we seemed/seem(dont know wether its past tense yet) to be the same going forwards esp in the backs.

Yep, best player interview for a while, very frank and honest.

Great interview, refreshing to hear somebody unconcerned with toeing the line.

17 players with that attitude, we would be unstoppable, nice on johnno

Outstanding attitude, the guy talks a lot of sense.

17 Paul Johnsons we would struggle to make the play offs.

His most intersting comment was about a lack of professionalism and intensity in training. Spoke about dropping the ball on a regular basis.

If you train poorly, you play poorly as we have all seen for some time.

Indeed, superb interview I thought.

and yet forever and a day we've been told it's all done right and worked hard during the week, during training.

Yep, what a con. i can't describe how angry that makes me.

Regular forum users will recall me saying the player interviews don't attract as much interest as the Head Coach ones - Well this one certainly has broken the mould!
While Mr Gatcliffe and Jimmy's return were well viewed Paul Johnson outstripped them both and wins the award of last weeks most viewed topic!!!
Lets hope it is not the only thing he wins this season.
Just got back from this week's round up with Tony Smith back in the hot seat and young Chris Riley.
Mr Smith hit some of this week's rumours for six while Chris talks quite openly about how being dropped from the team has made him bounce back a better player - in his opinion.
