LOAN OUT | Corey Johnson - Bradford Bulls : Fri Mar 01, 2024 11:05 pm  

Just seen he has gone to the Bulls on a season long loan... not sure what to make of this.

Any thoughts?

I never saw in him what some other fans did. That said I hope he makes me eat my words and eventually gets a gig in SL. Won't be at Leeds though.

I suspect he's played his final game for Leeds. Good luck to him.

Got all the skills. Never really got a decent run did he. Wish him wellness

I can see him getting a SL gig next year for one of the Yorkshire sides. This is the last year of his Leeds contract. Good luck to him, he has some class but he needs a consistent run.

Had he not decided to step away from the pro game for the best part of 2 years, he may well have been Leeds' first choice 9 by now, but he'll struggle to be a starting SL 9 in the long-term, I think. I hope I'm wrong though.

He’s an interesting case. He is a very balanced player but maybe lacks one stand-out attribute. Injuries haven’t helped him early career either but he looks in better physical condition now.

The fact that it's a loan gives him hope for a future at Leeds.
Full year playing in the Championship could do him good.
He needs regular uniterrupted game time in his natural position.

Maybe but he’s out of contract after this year and Ackers is bedded in with O’Connor and others behind him. I can’t see Leeds standing in the way if another club comes in for him.

He either has a brilliant stand out year at Bradford and has a good chance of coming back, or he just goes ok in which case he will move on.
