One of the worst kept secrets in Rugby League, i agree good deal for both parties, resurrects Johnsons career, if he is injured as unfortunately he has form for its only a year contract, if he plays well could look at offering a further contract.

Top signing

Jono is a good player just blighted by injury. I personally hopes he goes well for you. Can really raise his game when he wants to. We have Solomona who you could also say is a gamble, but hey who dares wins!

Jonno on a 1 year or Soly on a 3 year?

Which is the bigger gamble? Hmmm i think i know but i'm not sure!!!

I think he could go alright.
The test for me is if we were to hear his name read out in the opposition starting line, would we fear him.
Well, I wouldn't think we'd "fear" him, but he could certainly be one to keep an eye on as he could change a game

Obviously much depends on his fitness but IF you can get him playing he will be a cracking signing.

He is a real tough lad with surprising power and he runs some very clever angles, his power and angled running will open up most defences at one time or another.

He won't go far wrong in defence either, will be interesting to see where he plays either in the pack or in the centres.

One thing that can be frustrating is he does not have the best skill set, prone to the odd dropped pass and loose pass, but he always has been.

He will not be on a huge wage and for a year is a risky signing but the risks are heavily weighted in your favour.

I hope he goes well, always liked him, i personally think a combination of injuries and tragedy at an important time in his career conspired against him ever reaching his full potential but still been a very good player and i wish him a great swansong at Trinity.

A pleasing bit of business by the Club. Let's hope with a good pre season he is capable of giving us a good run of games.

I have a feeling he will partner Millard in the centres. Nothing against Gleeson but his head on defense could be better. Like all of us though, will wait and see!

interesting one is this as the lad has 4 metal plates in his body and pretty much finished but yet JK is not stupid so the lad must be fit and raring to go. I have allways thought Johnson to be a quality player if he stays fit it is good but once again I beg the question why didn't we keep Snitch?

I'm sure we tried.

I know we tried.

Move on!

To be fair to the lad isn't every player a gamble, with or without a previous history of injury. I think he is a very good player, he does the small things right that makes the likes of Brough into the players they are. I see him as a Henderson type player but with more experience and dare I say it skill.

Yes they are, just seems like Pauls had bad luck with injuries just like Kingy. If they stay injury free they will both do a good job so fingers crossed.

Not for one minute doubting his quallity its just a slight worry on my part.
