‘Absolute scenes’: Shaun Johnson seals comeback with final act on an NRL field
Shaun Johnson’s final NRL game has ended in perfect fashion with the champion halfback throwing the pass for the match winning try in the Warriors’ 30-28 win over the Sharks on Saturday night.
Johnson announced his retirement in early August before getting an incredible home send off that left him in tears last week.
But it was far from the send off he would have hoped for, losing to Manly and Canterbury heading into the Warriors’ final match of the season.

After a disappointing season where the Warriors were nowhere near the team that made it to the preliminary final in 2023, the side made sure to send Johnson off in perfect fashion.
Taking on the Sharks, who appear set for a top four berth in 2024, the Warriors looked to end their season with a whimper, dropping 22-4 down at halftime.
