Shaun Johnson won't head to Canberra for next year's NRL season, even if he does successfully gain a release from the Warriors.
Johnson reportedly requested an early exit from the Warriors on Tuesday, after being told by the club they weren't set to offer him a new contract when his expires at the end of 2019.
According to a New Zealand Herald report that request was unsuccessful, with the Warriors holding firm on their desire to keep him in Auckland for at least next year.
