We've just heard the news on Newstalk ZB; Steve Price has played his last game for the Vodafone Warriors.
Price has been battling a foot injury since the end of last season, and despite off-season surgery, he's simply run out of time to get on the field in his retirement season. He's scheduled for more surgery at the end of this week; season-ending surgery. That's a huge shame for the Warriors. Price has been a breath of fresh air both on and off the field.
It would have been great if the Warriors faithful could have the chance to give him a proper farewell at the end of his last game, but that's not to be. We're sure that Price will not have made the decision to have further surgery lightly.
But time marches on, and a career beyond the playing field beckons. All we can do is salute Price for the fantatstic contribution he has made to the Warriors since crossing the ditch. He leaves a hole that will be nigh on impossible to fill.

Agree Iv2, Price brought a believability and substance to a team that has all to often battled for credibility on and off the footy field. There was zero showpony here just "the real deal". Sadly he was unable to end at the Warriors from the feld but sadder for me is that he was denied being part of the continuing era of domination of the Queensland State of Origin team this year as they took the Blues apart for the fifth time in five years.
Farewell Steve Price, from the footy field, a true Legend,Thankyou
