The former Newcastle and Cronulla star, 53, will see his lucrative contract with Fox Sports end later this season and there is no word yet to know if he will extend this agreement with the television channel.

But rumors have circulated in recent months that Johns may have been operated by an LNR club for a potential return to training.

During an interview with the Daily Telegraph, the former player of New South Wales and Australia was not free to reveal the club which had contacted him but told Phil Rothfield that they had been in contact to assess his interest.

He then added: “If they are stupid enough to pay me what I would ask, I could be stupid enough to do it.”

Johns had recently been linked to the vacant publication of South New Wales after Michael Maguire jumped a ship to join the Brisbane Broncos at the start of the season, with Laurie Daley being then confirmed as her successor.

But Johns declared in October that he had gone out of the race for the vacant role declaring that he had chosen to follow the media route, instead of training, after his player career and that he can There are better options in comparison.

But when he was in a hurry by Rothfield if he was one day going to descend the road of coaches, Johns said: “ It’s long but, I would absolutely like to do it.

“When people go out and tell me” Matthew Johns for the South New Waler coach “.

“I will be perfectly honest, it feels good because it caresses the ego. In me, there is a part of me who thinks that I should take it and show them how good I am and win three or four in a row, “he told Podcast.

“(But) I chose my way and my career was in the media and it was incredible. The best thing I have done in my life in the past 15 years is to make my life very low.

“I have a lot of fun and it’s a life with low stress. I put money on life like that, spending time with you (family) than having to feel special by dragging.

However, it seems that it would take a lot to attract the former Newcastle and Cronulla star from his current role in the media, with Johns Reissue of Rothfield how much he likes to work at Fox.

“The people I work with – Fletch, Hindy and Gorden – are very fun,” said Johns.
