REGRETFULLY, NZ WARRIORS STAR PLAYER HAS DELINE NOT TO PLAY AGAIN

“I think there’s an opportunity for all our halves to have a role at some stage and – when and how that looks – I’ll decide at the time.”

At the moment, the best foot forward is through the boot of Martin.

“Webby’s made my role really clear, and its nice and simple,” said Martin.

But while Martin might have his feet on the field, Johnson’s still got the brains.

“He tells me a lot of the stuff even at half time – said just to look for Roger [Tuivasa-Sheck], when I did the early kick.”

“People are probably saying I had made a good kick there, but they had it all planned out .”

The reigning first-choice halfback is still clearly making a massive impact and, upon return, could provide a selection headache for the head coach

“He’s a gifted player and he’s very smart, so I’m glad he’s around,” said Webster.

The rest of Webster’s squad is unchanged from that which beat Brisbane, as the team eyes another leap up the NRL ladder.

Warriors: 1-Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 2-Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 3-Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 4-Adam Pompey, 5-Marcelo Montoya, 6-Chanel Harris-Tavita, 7-Te Maire Martin, 8-Addin Fonua-Blake, 9-Wayde Egan, 10-Mitchell Barnett, 11-Marata Niukore, 12-Kurt Capewell, 13-Tohu Harris
