Warrington coach Tony Smith is thankful for Andrew Johns' help as the Wolves continue their Super League build-up.

The Australia great had a brief spell with Warrington on loan back in 2005 and has been a regular visitor to the club since.

Johns, 41, is currently with the Warrington squad at a warm-weather training camp in Tenerife as they ramp up their preparations for the first Super League game of the season against champions Leeds Rhinos on February 4.

"Joey has been brilliant with all the boys," Smith said of Johns, who was named as Australia's eighth 'Immortal' in 2012.

"They all get a bit out of him but particularly our young half-backs. We have some talented ones coming through and learning their trade but he's also got some great tips for older guys too.

"He's been terrific; just to have a legend like him in the midst of their training camp. We've had him before at our training camps but it can't be understated what he gets through and the tips that he comes up with."
