How can the Warriors build the depth to fill the void left by the retiring Shaun Johnson?\xa0

The 33-year-old halfback will finish at the end of this NRL season. \xa0

Johnson has been an integral part of the club since debuting in 2011, helping the side to a grand final appearance that same year.\xa0

Chief executive Cameron George says they've been preparing for this moment.\xa0

He told Mike Hosking Johnson\u2019s 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\u2019s off injured.\xa0

George said that when the phone rang after Saturday\u2019s game, he felt in his stomach that Johnson wasn\u2019t going to press on. \xa0
