Million dollar halfback Shaun Johnson's time in a Warriors jersey could be coming to an end.
The Kiwi test star has a year to run on his contract but with the NRL player transfer market opening on November 1st, the Warriors are yet to make an offer to re‑sign the 162 game veteran beyond next season.
The 28‑year‑old has been the Warriors chief playmaker since he first burst on to the scene in 2011 and retaining him has always been the club's number one priority ‑ until now.
In a move that would previously have seemed unthinkable, the NZ Herald understands the Auckland outfit have told Johnson to explore his options and test his value with rival clubs on the open market.
Johnson last year re‑signed with the Warriors on a two‑year deal worth seven figures making him the highest paid player in the club's history, however he has struggled to live up to his huge price tag.
