Storm, Rebels share Joey Johns

[beige]

Melbourne Storm have put out the welcome mat for their cross-code rivals Melbourne Rebels, agreeing to share rugby league great Andrew Johns.

The Rebels, who will join the expanded Super rugby union competition in 2011, will piggyback on the Storm's use of the former NSW and Australian skipper.

Rebels head coach Rod Macqueen approached Storm football manager Frank Ponissi and asked if they could use Andrew Johns as a coaching consultant on his visits to Melbourne to work with the NRL side.

He will be a huge asset to both teams. Great defensive player, excellant attacking vision and a very good communicator.

.... and really good at sourcing 'certain substances' too, I hear.
