Shaun Johnson's triumphant return to the field has hit a minor speed bump, with the veteran halfback facing a slight delay in his comeback from injury.
Originally scheduled to make his return this week, the NZ Warriors star is now eyeing a showdown with the Melbourne Storm in round 15 on June 15.
The 33-year-old sustained a pesky pectoral strain during a clash with the Sydney Roosters back in May, forcing him to sit out the following matches against Penrith and the Dolphins.
However, after a period of intense rehab and recovery, Johnson is now aiming to make a grand return against one of the top teams in the league.
Despite missing out on the recent showdown with the Dolphins, Johnson is now one of seven players who have made their way back onto the field, providing a much-needed boost to the Warriors lineup.
And with his sights set on taking on the Storm, Johnson is ready to give it his all and show why he's considered one of the best in the game.
As the Warriors gear up for their upcoming battle, fans can't wait to see Johnson back in action, guiding his team to victory with his signature skill and determination.
With his return on the horizon, the Warriors are sure to be a force to be reckoned with on the field.
