New Zealand Warriors player set for $126.3m exit rejected Rugby League transfer…

Shaun Johnson has called out the online trolls for their comments on his dipping form following the Warriors star’s sad injury. Warriors fans copped another blow this week as coach Andrew Webster announced Johnson would miss four weeks with an Achilles injury following the New Zealand outfit’s humiliating 66-6 loss to the Titans on Saturday.

Johnson looked hampered during the shocking result as broadcast cameras cut to the veteran halfback in the dressing room looking dejected after the match. And following the club’s record defeat, it was confirmed Johnson would miss a number of weeks after re-injuring his Achilles.

“He’s going to be out for at least four weeks,” coach Webster said on Tuesday. “It’s all around the Achilles. He had ice on his hamstring, he had some hamstring tightness on the weekend but Shaun rehabbed it, it felt amazing and we took our time with him but he’s just not come back the way he wanted.”

Webster confirmed: “We’ve made a decision, we’re all on board and we’re going to give him what the right amount of time is to get him back in shape … he’s just not physically there (at the moment).” Since the unbelievable defeat at the hands of the Titans, the Warriors have copped criticism for a lacklustre showing with the team fighting to make the top eight.
