He told NRL.com that switching to the 15-man game with a stint in Japan's Top League is appealing but that league remains his preference. "It's not heading back to New Zealand to play rugby or anything like that," Johnson said yesterday. Johnson is set to return from a hamstring injury and play his 200th NRL game when the Sharks meet the Titans on Sunday.
