Since he asked to come back here, probably not.Doesn't Shaun want to win a premiership?

Listening to him on the recent 'Bloke in a Bar' podcast, he said that the premiership was a priority.Doesn't Shaun want to win a premiership?
The article says he wanted 1.6 mill over 2 years (800 a year) and the sharks offered one year on half of that (400 a year). Am I reading that right?
If so, lets offer him 500 (which is more than the sharks) and see what he says. Probably wont happen though if the senior players are dirty on him (and rightly so).
He wont win a premiership, but I reckon he will go to the broncos on a big payday.
Yeah, a bit like gettin back with your ex, never works out great
Ah yes, I meant Foran rather than Green. The years following this team have becomes a hazy mist of disappointment, bitterness, and regret. Imagine the pleasure of being a genuine roosters or storm supporter? Us, it's relentless self-flagellation.
Just on the bring back old Warriors, saw Wairangi Kopu in the local Countdown, he is playing for Taniwharau....(Huntly for those who don't know).
Gee we had some local talent back then, guys that came from the boon docks and done good.
Good to see the brother back home and representing grass roots.
First truly fit locally developed NZ NRL player. He had a huge motor. Not surprising Melbourne took him on in his twilight years.A love a good blast from the past. When my old man was a bit fitter he used to fly up to Auckland for the annual clash with Manly, and meet up with his brothers and cousins. We used to roll Manly and I get sentimental thinking of dad up there in the stands having a ball.
One game stands out, we won about 26-12, and big Wairangi stormed up the right flank for his part in an exciting try that went most of the field. So cheers to Wairangi. He may be wandering around supermarkets like the average Joe now but, gee, players like him brought a lot joy to loyal fans like my old man.
And Luke
I truly thought we had it made when we got Luke...
Luke - Green - SJ - RTS
Could have been a premiership winning spine...
(if we had a better forward pack)
(and Luke was from South's vintage)
(and SJ wasn't such a f**king ego princess)
(and Green wasn't the world's 3rd slowest professional sportsperson)
(and RTS didn't have to be a battering ram)
(and our coach wasn't a potato head).
I was happy enough with SJ leaving, but I’m a bit surprised everyone has turned against him so much now? Last year was one of his best seasons, and getting SJ on the cheap would be the best value half available on the market
I thought we had it made with RTS/Foran/Johnson/Luke
Watched an interesting clip on nrl.com the other day. Asking players who they'd give the ball to on their team in the clutch moments. SJ was first up & he wanted to say himself. Interestingly, none of the other Sharkies interviewed said they'd give him the ball in the clutch. Think they all went with Moylan lol
Yeah, but a lot of the time he stalled and went into neutral.I’ll give SJ his due, for his entire time with us he was still the clutch guy.
