Miller had been injured for most of his testimonial season in 1992, and played out his final game for the Sharks in reserve grade.

Though the Sharks won well in both grades, it was an un-fitting end to a great career.

Miller's injury occurred in Round 9, and he played virtually no football over the final two months of the season, only appearing in two games.

Coach Arthur Beetson had said in the lead-up to the match that he would pick Miller in the first grade squad, but Miller turned down the chance to finish as a fresh reserve because "he didn't want to be a bench-warmer for sentimental reasons," according to Rugby League Week.
