Overview

• Since debuting in 2014, Johnston has amassed over 240 NRL appearances, won a premiership and multiple Dally M winger of the Year honors and sits six tries short of Irvine’s all-time mark of 212.
• An injury to Latrell Mitchell has prompted Johnston’s move from wing to fullback, potentially affecting his try-scoring rhythm this season.
• Veteran hooker Api Koroisau has extended his tenure at Wests Tigers until the end of the 2028 season.
• Parramatta Eels general manager Mark O’Neill arranged a loan for Ryan Matterson to join Super League side Warrington for the remainder of the 2025 season.
• NRL clubs are increasingly using mid-season extensions and temporary loans to navigate injury setbacks and support roster rebuilds.
