PAUL Johnson will miss the rest of the season after it was confirmed today that he will need a full cruciate knee ligament reconstruction.
Johnson was injured during the second half of Warrington's 40-34 cup defeat at St Helens on Saturday.
He is the second player Wolves have lost for the rest of the campaign from the cup defeat. Stuart Reardon will take no further part in this campaign after rupturing his Achilles' tendon in the sixth minute at Knowsley Road.
That was the same injury collected by another full back, Chris Bridge, at Knowsley Road in February to rule his season over.

I've got lots of time for all of them as players, but it just seems that their bodies aren't up to the stress of playing Super League. You simply can't afford to have one-fifth of your first team squad being hardly ever on the field.
The injury problems I think stem from when we lost Forshaw. When he was at Wire both injuries were a minimum and defensively we were sound that season if my memory serves me right..I agree with Simon something needs to be done as we seem to get far to many injuries every season and potentially long term ones at that - Johnson, Bridge, Reardon, Poss Wood, who next???
