Corey Johnson Is playing on Friday, looking forward to seeing him get a run out, I don’t follow the Academy very closely but I hear he looks like a great prospect?

If he lives up to his potential mate he'll be our best home grown 9 since David Ward.

Looking forward to seeing him action I presume this means the Headless one will be out and Lunt to start.

Id start with Johnson, we've literally nothing to lose, throw him in and let him have a go I say.

Just got to hope he doesn't get lined up early doors by Westwood, like Sutty was.

That would be a big call,i would bring him on at the 30 minute mark.

How do you know he's playing on Friday? They haven't even announced the 19 man squad yet

Terrific young player but we have plenty of those coming through. Excited for Corey but it's a massive step for him so let's not expect the world from him, he is only 18 after all.. It's about giving him a taste of it and a bit of an insight. It should have happened before now but at least his chance has arrived now.

Bit harsh on Matt Diskin to say Corey is best home grown 9 since David Ward to be honest but lets see how he goes. Should certainly motivate him and others to have a good off season.

As someone who has watched virtually every 16s and 19s game Corey has played for Leeds and championed him throughout I am chuffed to bits for him. Hope he goes well.

It's to be hoped that he's given the best opportunity to do well, starting with selecting 4 props.
