Final Season Strength

Warriors prop Steve Price, 36, has announced he will retire at the end of the season. His battle-weary legs may have forced his hand, but it is a simple message inscribed on his wrist which will act as the inspiration for Price’s 17th and final season in the NRL. While he remains at a loss as to just when he will return to the field, Australian-born Price said the mantra ‘Finish Strong’ which adorns a wristband he wears every day would help motivate him during his final campaign. “It’s something that you think about a lot, but if it’s there present on your wrist you’ll do it,” Price said. Price moved to the Warriors in 2005, where he was immediately appointed captain.
