How can the Warriors build the depth to fill the void left by the retiring Shaun Johnson?

The 33-year-old halfback will finish at the end of this NRL season.

Johnson has been an integral part of the club since debuting in 2011, helping the side to a grand final appearance that same year.

Chief executive Cameron George says they've been preparing for this moment.

He told Mike Hosking Johnson’s been thinking about it for a while now, and prefers to make these kinds of decisions while out on the field instead of while he’s off injured.

George said that when the phone rang after Saturday’s game, he felt in his stomach that Johnson wasn’t going to press on.
