WOLVES are set to benefit from Andrew Johns' coaching skills during his brief visit to Warrington.
The Australian Test legend, whose hopes of rejoining Warrington's playing squad in 2008 were ended when he was forced to retire through injury in April, jets in on Saturday as part of a holiday in Europe.
Joey will greet Wolves fans on the Halliwell Jones Stadium pitch at half time during Sunday's match against Wigan.
And the 33-year-old, who has done some coaching with Newcastle Knights and the Australian rugby union team in recent months, could also lend a helping hand in training early next week before being a guest at Lee Briers' Testimonial dinner on Tuesday night.
Wolves boss Paul Cullen said: "It will be a delight to see him and we're really hoping that we can get some coaching sessions with Andrew if his schedule allows it. That will be a great boost, not just for the first team.
"We'd like to think we can draft in some of our younger players as well from our Academy and scholarships, just to be in his company and to pick up a couple of tips from a man who's been the world's best player for a considerable part of his playing career."
Cullen has confirmed that Michael Sullivan has played his last game for the club, with the Australian hooker only able to have a cast placed on his badly broken arm on Friday. Despite being offered a contract by Wolves, Sullivan has agreed to join Canterbury next year and could return to Australia early.
Cullen said: "After what was a difficult start for Michael, he worked hard to get back in the side and this year I've picked him in every single game that he's been fit enough to play in.
"Players who are now out of contract, if they do leave the only reason is because we can't accommodate all players under the salary cap. We've obviously got Paul Rauhihi, Chris Leikvoll, Brent Grose, Henry Fa'afili, Steve Pickersgill and Ben Harrison out of contract.
"Those players are dreams to work with, they are very professional both on and off the field. I don't want to lose any of them."
