Surprise target as Sharks go cold on Johnson

Cronulla is reportedly chasing Brisbane's off-contract five-eighth Anthony Milford, in a sign the club is likely to miss out on the signature of Adam Reynolds. The Broncos are considered the favourites to land Reynolds for 2022 and beyond, while the Sharks are believed to be prioritising the signing of Milford ahead of finalising a new deal with Shaun Johnson. Johnson is at the end of a three-year deal with Cronulla, but questions have been raised about his form in recent weeks, with the Sharks currently on a five match losing streak, a slump that has coincided with the axing of coach John Morris. "We seem to talk about Adam Reynolds all the time but there was a rumour going around that he would make a decision in the next 24 hours," The Australian's Brent Read said on NRL360. "The Broncos believe that it's just about over the line in Brisbane, I'm dubious about that. "I don't think that's the case but I think a decision is imminent, I think Brisbane can consider themselves frontrunners. "Speaking to Cronulla today their optimism is waning. They're considering some other targets, one of those is Anthony Milford.
