    "I remember he looked at me and asked what’s wrong. I said, 'You obviously don’t trust in me because if you did, I would have played a lot more minutes,'" Curran recalled."

    This is the key quote.

    He was a very good player for us but it is more than that. This quote shows his petulance and quite frankly a real lack of professionalism.

    Perhaps a better response is more along the lines of..

    "Hey coach I'm getting a lot less minutes and it feels like I'm being pushed aside. What do you need from me to be a key part of the plans?"

    To then chew the coach out for contacting him after he left, just classless.

    I can't see any other scenrario than Curran tossed the toys and we said goodbye.
     
    That article makes Curran look like an arrogant, self entitled immature flog.

    Still hungover 2 days after mad Monday

    Didn’t take coaches feedback professionally

    Instead of getting better instantly pulled the “I’m out of here card” because he knew he had options.

    Proceeds to talk shit about the coach even when Webby is extending the olive branch.

    Didn’t fight for his position in the team just throw a tantrum when we recruited Marata.

    I was a big fan of Curran but that article makes me think we made the right decision. What a fucking cancer. Imagine him around our younger guys. That’s before we talk about the drinking, his weight, fighting teenagers and doing cocaine.

    Some more learnings for webby. I would take Curran All day over Niukore right now.

    Wonder how much Curran shot himself in the foot? Found that line about being at a review hungover and wondering what was going on interesting. Remember his off field incident of being at club punching a kid and breaking his phone, admittedly the kid shouldn’t have been there by the sounds. Interesting that this type of figure was let go and a figure like Capewell recruited. Think a big part of this is the type of figure they want bringing this next lot through. Something I’ve noticed a bit from Jazz this year about hitting the piss after a game or two after deciding to lay off the previous year

    Ash Taylor was a shiny toy as well. He was beaten up and dropped from his old team but we leaped at the fact he was on minimum wage with a high upside if we could resurrect his career. We thought we had a diamond in the rough.

    Strange events all round occurred during those weird covid years based at Central Coast Gold Coast ( briefly) and Redcliffe
    We were a hollow team no back up grades just a shell
    Nathan Brown and all those others that didn’t want to be in Nz after covid ‘stopped’ talk about no commitment.
    We are still recovering from that era but making good progress
    Cam George had a rough time through that silly Walsh having that cocaine rap and there was other controversies
    Cam George looking back did well to hold it together

    Now we have these gun nsw cup players coming through jersey flegg etc the future looks bright
     
    Berry and Leiataua. Hoping to see Ali's defence pick up during the offseason. His attack is sound. Berry IMO is the first centre chosen.

    Everyone else is a backup. CNK i cant see moving from fullback under Webster. Happy for him to be given the opportunity to keep that spot based on how he starts next season. The team played busted most of the season because many of the players were.

    wouldn’t it be great if he showed up for Hibiscus Coast next year?

    Fuck how good would that be for Auckland rugby league. Players be flocking for a chance to run around with SJ.

    Blake Ayshford was never my favorite player but I've come around to loving him through how much he's giving back to the local game. He's even playing for Bay Of Plenty in the national comp this year.
     
    So many highlights, and will go down as one of the greatest (not fair on the handful who deserve it to label any single one as the greatest IMO) Warriors and Kiwis of all time!

    One of the telling things for me was him stating his passion for bringing through the next wave of halves - which is awesome in and of itself, but because he never had that. Given one of the other greatest Warriors and Kiwis, it is an interesting indictment on the other Stacey... but also shows how great a player SJ is that he has created his legacy without that kind of guidance. He was phenom in his youth, but it took him leaving the club and going to the Sharks to turn him into a Hall of Fame half who got to finish his carer in the way he did.

    In the lead up to that last set, Mick Ennis said in commentary on Fox that the RL Gods are giving him a final chance, and SJ took that with both hands! The RL Gods haven't always looked up SJ favourably (what could have been if Hank Scorpio hadn't broken his leg/ankle...), but I'm glad they let him close out his career just like that - with how it all started, a bloody f%$king fantastic "touch highlight"!

    Well done SJ7 - and all the best for the next stage of your career and life, we'll all keep following one of the best to do it!
     
    Had our Moko here yesterday, he's 12. Sat down 9pm preparing to watch the game but somehow the fu(king TV wasn't hooking up with the sky box!? Checked HDMI1 then 2, 3... WTF?! Rang sky prompt and got the "We're having technical problems etc" auto-bot BS... Hough!!!

    Quick as hooked up the lappy-TV and jumped on the site that I have Always followed till the Very fuc(ing End.

    Sup NZWARRIORS.COM. You guys/gals kept us all in the mix and up to date (I've never had to do/read the "Game Day/Thread" thing before. Ever!) It was really refreshing but, I got to say, I'd asked my Moko to read it out (not only does he love the NZWarriors, but it was to keep him aware and more so involved.) Lol, that first to the eightenth page had us Up then All worried, as he had free reign to read it "Real" (he did ask if he could swear, bless him, we all agreed that because it was Shaun Johnsons Very Last game as a NZWarrior... Go On Son!!!)

    Sing when you Win!

    After DWZ scored his last for the hat trick... I reckon Stacey Jones would've been grinning from ear to ear and shaking his head in Proud disbelief, "WTF Again," watching the Prince of Penrose lead The Warriors one final time to another epic win. Only The General Knows how Good it Is.

    Day's almost done, I hope you All had a Happy Fathers Day. Btw sky box's still on the blink, pfft.


    Up The Wahs and Go The Mighty NZWarriors!

    After listening to the post match, it’s extremely clear that SJ will be involved in a coaching role with the club.

    Likely as a halves/spine coach & likely as soon as this off season. He’s also expressed interest in setting up a system or academy of sorts coaching up and coming halves.

    He’d be a huge asset to our club moving forward. Hope he stays on board in some capacity.

    Setting up an academy would be huge for young up and coming halves. Might also help with recruitment.
