Stink !!!!!! It will be legendary.
Man it's sad he retires without a premiership. He's talent deserved one.
He is the first club icon I've witnessed from their juniors where I have been convinced they're the "One"
You can see from the social media videos he's not come to terms with it
I guess it's back to waiting to patiently for the next "One"

It's a sad day, so many questions left unanswered for the legend in 7. I can't help but feel that his time here was wasted through terrible club management.
Oh what could have been if his debut season were 2016 or so...

We were robbed in the first half of the 2011 GF. George Rose should have been sin binned for the forearm in the face to a prone Aaron Heremia.
And such an obvious forward pass to get them downfield on the right just before half time when I think DCE scored.
Then we lost Ivan Cleary and thereafter SJ had a turnstile of coaches and halves partners and then some shit injuries.
He turned his defence around and IMO was our game controller for years and underrated at it.

Sad news, enjoyed watching him over the years and selfishly hoped he had one more year in him but it’s probably time- just a shame it’s in the current circumstances. Might have to make the trip out to Shark park now

He has given us so many highlights, it has been pure joy to watch at times.
I'm just glad we got a second dig, resulting in a 2023.
Cheers Shauny

If I can find someone to go with me I would fly to Australia for this. Surely the Aussie crowd will give him a great send off.
Your shout dude. I am there

As others have said, sad day for many of us Warriors tragics. My three young kids all became avid Warriors supporters and season ticket holders, starting with Shaun in the u20's.
All three are now fully grown and living their own lives away from NZ. Every one, and their overseas partners still avid Warriors supporters, all on-line NRL followers, jersey buyers. Who'd believe a male Irish doctor and a female Polish lawyer would become tragic's too, and NRL online subscribers.
Magic memories, traveling together to Hamilton, ChCh, Wellington, 2011 GF, Sydney of course, even Whangerei and Rotorua for pre-season games.
The end of a special era, special family fotos with them and you. I can't thank you enough Shaun. Go well in retirement. Stay close to the game.

Very articulate and intelligent guy. He could make a long career in the rugby league media if he wants it.
Magnificent. Best post yet.

But your journey is not over
Get into that commentary box. Your services and knowledge is needed.
Badly.
