      If we want to see ourselves back in the playoffs on a regular basis we can't have any disease of me at the warriors. If that article is true, thanks for the memories Shaun but don't let the door hit you on the way out

            @mariner4life caught that on the news today. Did get to listen to the whole interview with Vossie, but suspect they talked a bit about that. Sounds like he has another year in the junior system under contract with the Eels?

            That might be good longer term but very keen to hear more than a stopgap option for 2019. I do keep wondering how on earth the Warriors thought SJ would stick around for 2019, no matter how much glitter they rolled that turd in. Dude has shown that he doesn't handle criticism, or even being challenged around performance, very well at all.

            Still bemused that aside from being sad to see SJ go people can't see how petulant he's been/being.

              Does he know how to use Yous in the correct context?
              I assume his contract will state he only has to perform 40% of the year, be absent during the big games and make no effort to increase his skill set over a long but unfulfilled career..

                  Listened to him talked about the Brisbane Broncos having an abundance of halfback talent and thought he was hinting that the Warriors need to do a raid on the Brisbane roster. The RS crew didn't seem to pick up on that.

                        I like SJ as a player but him and the Warriors should’ve parted ways a couple of seasons ago for both of their good.

                        SJ needed a new scenery and away from NZ. The Warriors needed to breath some new life into their game also.

                          I agree its a good move for both parties . its not working

                          But its also one where Warrior fans could end up watching on with a bit of disappointment , got the feeling SJ could get himself into a different environment and go to a different level ,

                          Like the ex girlfriend who looks so much hotter after she leaves you .

                            Based on all the reports in the last few days SJ will need to change his attitude and training habits at his new club.

                                  That’s true , it’s almost like he needs a new role,

                                  A freewheeling 6 rather than a playmaking 7 , behind a dominant pack , he will slice you up ,

                                  I think a club who has that pack, and the 7 already , could look at him as a bit of icing on the cake , without that pack , probably a waste of time

                                    Can the Warriors restructure some of their longer contracts to take advantage of the new cap room this year?

                                          pretty divisive player from fan POV.

                                          Been a big topic on Radio Sport obviously, plenty in support of the Warriors getting rid of him, plenty thought it was handled poorly, but I think majority thought the end result is best all round.
