Warriors managing director Jim Doyle says: "We've got all the players, all the football staff and admin staff and it's a very sad day when a legend like Jonah passes away so a club like ours needs to pay our respects.
"He had a big impact on a lot of our players over the years when he played.
"He was at the club on a regular basis and have Manu Vatuvei his presentation for his 200th game, so he's got a special place in our heart, Jonah, so it was really important for the club to come out and support him."
