paul johnson anyone?

[- psycho -]

heard from a a teacher at school that he will be at wigan by the end of the week. it's a very reliable source considering he knows the wigan physio. it's supposedly going around the wigan camp that he will join by the end of the week.

well like i said he heard from the physion i think and he is a good mate of mine. maybe putting him in the centres? or will he play in the pack

[GeoffN]

He's a decent utility player, a bit like Stephen Wild, but I don't think he's worth using a 20/20 spot for, even though we're crying out for a centre.
Unless it's a short-term deal just for the rest of the season.

[Cruncher]

I'm dubious about this, but I'll tell you something: if it happened it would resolve our 'weak tackling in the centres' problem.

Why would someone who wanted to get away from wigan as much as paul, want to come back?

[chrisJJ]

i think he should just get over wigan he is established at bradgord there is no need for him to come back we have enough SR

Perhaps he likes playing for Noble?

Perhaps he does, but there's other players i'd have over him at wigan who like playing for noble. He seems to have hit form these last 12months or so, i reckon it would be stupid moving to wigan when hes established at Bradford.

I think Noble could be the key rather than Wigan. I used to question Noble's selection of Johnson for GB, but he never seemed to have a bad game.

Despite still having some weak points in his game (dropsies and penalties in the tackle), he's continued to improve at the Bulls and would bring some size and defensive steel to the centreline.
