Gutted. Just seen the announcement via my Twitter feed.
Didn't make the Magic Weekend this time, so watched the Warrington game on tv. I could tell there was something 'not right' at the final hooter. He didn't seem as happy as he should have been and had a sort of detached look about him.
Plenty of mileage in this one yet. All seems a bit wishy washy at the moment. I heard the Scotland rumours a few weeks ago. As we now know, Sam's off to the south of France, I'm sure Shaun will have sat down enough times with Sutton and Bateman to know what's going to happen there, Lockers can't be far off retirement now, is IL as commited as he has been in the past (not suggesting he isn't, by the way) etc. etc. Sometimes, professional sportsmen can gauge the feeling around a club and know when the time is right to move on. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, there is plenty of silverware to play for this season before we wish Shaun well for whatever avenue he goes down. Let's hope he leaves on a real high.
