Griffin Logue is the one earmarked to take over from Johnno, it appears.
Nyhuis and Duman are also battling it out amongst themselves so there are three for one position. Dont forget Spurr is also in the wings.
I was originally a big wrap for both Cox and Luke Ryan. Ryan is a star but the jury is still out on Cox, mainly I think due to lack of speed and agility. I may be mistaken on that. Either way our back line is looking great I think.
Johnno needs to be treated by the club with the utmost respect. This player was once the best back man in the League, along with McPharlap and All Australian. He wasnt fussed to play on this year in fact wanted to retire but the club asked him to to help cover in case the youngsters werent up to it or Alex Pearce broke down. Then Logue got his growth plate injury and Johnno is loyally serving us again. He will do whatever the club asks of him. I just hope he gets a right royal send off when that time comes.
