Masterstoke great news.

A great player won't always make a great coach, but I must say, I am quite looking forward to what he'll bring to the team next year

Warrington must be taking this off-season seriously! Year of the Wolf 2010?

you wish, joey is a wire!

more tha a great player, hope he stays for longer than just the pre season

Just like 2009

How IS Bernard?

Arguably the best halfback of the last twenty years, one of the alltime greats, coming here, to work with our 19 year old, talented, still learning his trade halfback, brilliant.

I'm sure Richie in particular will go into sponge mode, learn lots, and the whole atmosphere around the camp will be boosted, not to mention the vibe around town having him in town.

It's great news.

now now thats enough of that

It would be great if the club did an open training session for fans at the HJ to give us the chance to see Johns in action again. Even if the club charge a small fee, people would attend. Roll on next season.

good idea mate

Great idea, I'm sure a lot would pay a few quid to see that.

Andrew has battled Bipolar disease for many years. From the highs playing in big games with off the cuff moves to the lowest of lowe's where is options included suicide. He describes "Joey" as a sort of alter ego the face you see on TV etc. The wild side. "Andrew" side is the loving father and husband the family man side. Got his book superb read should anyone buy it.

What are you laughing at? The lowest Lowes are pretty unbearable.

Lowest of lowe's ha ha you know what I mean!

It'd be nice to see him again but I think this would just be a distraction.

yes a few weeks coaching off the best player of his generation will be a massive distraction won't it,i'm sure richie myler isvery unhappy about it.

the money collected could be donated to charity

It would be a distraction having the fans at any training sessions held by Andrew Johns.

I'm not saying that the fans should be present during tactical matters but basic warm up and basic Ball skills etc. Just think about the amount of revenue that would bring to the club?

It's strange that all of this came out after Johns got caught with an ecstasy tablet, sounds like media management to me, playing the card that he was forced to turn to drugs because he had such a miserable life. I reckon he was just a bloke who liked to party and had a bit of chemical assistance every now and then like half the population of the western world, and when the media started demonising him he got advised to start telling the world his sob story.

Remember when Gareth Hock got busted this season and one of his teammates (think it might have been O'Loughlin) was in the papers saying the game shouldn't turn its back on him, he needs the support to help him with his 'problem'....yeah right

Kevin Brown at hudds wasnt it?
Arent they brother in laws or something

The thing that got me with all that was he said he didnt know he had the pill in his pocket!

oh come off it.

compared to the avarage working class person he had it made he was a superstar on top of the world. he had no exscuse but to play the sob story card. most of these players are at it or have dabbled. there young lads that are allways in a group and like to go out and party.

could be a dodgy comment that one
