Andrew Johns believes Shaun Johnson<\/a> could make a positive impact at South Sydney as a potential replacement for the outgoing Adam Reynolds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to recent reports, the Rabbitohs are interested in signing the 30-year-old playmaker, who could be available at a discounted price after his injury issues.<\/p>\n

Johnson enjoyed a prolific 2020 season before rupturing his Achilles in Round 19, and Johns backed the Kiwi star to regain his touch next season.<\/p>\n

"Even though he's coming off an Achilles injury, I think he's still got a couple of really good years in front of him," Johns told Wide World of Sports' Immortal Behaviour<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Shaun<\/p>\n

"Last year he was right up there in the Dally M before he got injured.<\/p>\n

"It surprised me that Cronulla let him go, but obviously Craig Fitzgibbon has got a plan there.<\/p>\n

"He'd definitely be a good signing for Souths, but Adam Reynolds should be there."<\/p>\n

After winning a thriller for the Sharks with a long-range field-goal last night<\/a>, Johnson told Nine he hoped it would prompt some NRL clubs to pick up the phone and make him an offer.<\/p>\n

"If there are any clubs out there after a halfback, I'm your man," he said with a smile.<\/p>\n

When questioned over whether the Rabbitohs' faithful would approve the club replacing the beloved Reynolds with another ageing playmaker, Johns said it would all come down to winning.<\/p>\n

"It must be a price tag thing," he said of Souths' interest in Johnson.<\/p>\n

"If they're winning I don't think they'll be jumping up and down too much."<\/p>\n
