At the age of 30 & whilst being a utility player (wing/2nd row/centre) my personel opinion is no. Pay the players coming up from the reserves - Harrison, Mitchell, Blythe. Tyrone more & let him go.

Richard Henare..............Nuff Said:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42237.jpg



Johnson is a very good player, but unfortunatly is too injury prone. You could have the best player in the world, but if their sat in the stands every week it's pointless.

I'd maybe keep him in a coachin role for a couple of years to try and teach his running lines and his style to up and comers.

Unfortunatly he is no where near earning a full time playing contract, which is a shame, because as said before, i rate his ability quite alot

Purely goes on fitness assessment. I bet Johnson is quite a big earner, so he's not cost effective if he's injured all the time. Like you say there's no problems with his ability and he's always had a good attitude, so its a shame.

This is a really good question, when fit Johnson is a top quality player with real class. But that is the problem he is never fit. I would have to say no, sorry.

i'm fifty fifty on this one,his form prior to his last injury was outstanding but i'm not sure we can keep him injury free for long enough for him to be of real value to the team on the pitch or financially.
i would expect him to be moved on though.

[quote="Eddie Hemmings said not ":1h9um51j] "Remember last time they were here, the Huddersfield Giants, they lost to a Luke Walsh drop goal. He's only scored four drop goals in his St Helens career has Luke Walsh and each and every one of them have been scored by Luke Walsh"[/quote:1h9um51j]:



It all depends on the figures involved. If he wants £130k then no chance, £30k definately yes. The reality will be somewhere inbetween and if it's somewhere near the bottom of the pay scale then I would give him another year. If he wants to hold out for his final big fat juicy paycheck then perhaps he'd be better in cherry and white!

He doesn't get into my first choice 17 as a back.

He doesn't get into my first choice 17 as a forward.

On that Rationale, I'd say get rid. That said, if they let say Vinnie Anderson go, I do think you need some athletes in the pack, so then I'd be more inclined to keep him. If it was keep Vinnie or PJ, I'd keep Vinnie, assuming that they earn similar.

It all depends if his wages hinder our attempts to sign a player who is younger, fitter and a better prospect.

I have mixed views on Johnson, he's a good player to have in your team because of his versatility, although he hasn't got the speed for Wing he is a solid 2nd row or centre.
I'm sure he will do a good job on Sunday instead of Westwood but he does visit the the treatment room far to often, if he can put in some solid performances and stay injury free from now until the end of the year i would give him a years contract but if another team was to make a bid it would be worth some serious thought.

Tony Smith: "I thought the fans really made the difference on Sunday. At times I looked at the South Stand and thought WOW those guys are rocking in there, I like that.":35453.jpg



I've said before I would rather us keep Vanderson or Johnson, instead of them both. On current form, I would keep Vanderson...but I do like PJ's attitude.
