It was anticipated Johnson would also be back from his pectoral injury but he is now set to return for the round 15 contest against Melbourne at Go Media Stadium on June 15.
I actually like the back row. Seeing Niukore there makes a huge difference. Barnett and Niukore gives us more power and tackle busting ability in the attacking 20 as opposed to Capewell and Ford. Ford has less thinking to do with decoy runs and what not in the front row, can just do his workhorse stuff without trying to catch hospital short balls and bust a line. He’s been good these past few weeks
