Until the truth comes out many scenarios are plausible. I said in the pre season I was concerned about him staying invested for the season though was shot down pretty swiftly that no way would he do that. Looking back though, he committed himself in the pre season publicly to try all he can to leave on a high and show the young guys the ins and outs, so what’s changed between then and now? Being that our maiden premiership looks unlikely this season, would he be hoping to go to the top of the table teams that he’s going to next year early in hopes of a premiership? The older these guys get that haven’t won a title must feel like time is against them to pick one up

While we're coming up with scenarios I've got 1 myself. Taking into account everything I've heard on social media and everything that's played out since last season etc. I believe he has a highly influential (to him) person in his ear not related to NRL. I think you guys can all figure out who she is .
I'm sure we've all had a friend or associate with a partner everyone else Snickers about .
This is the only thing that would make sense for him to have signed a contract extension at the warriors, ask for an immediate release sometime later to move back to Sydney on compassionate grounds (public story was family member is sick, which I think is true but only part of the reason) and then agreeing to see out this season at the warriors.

If this is the case I am sympathetic to him as I'm sure he knows or hears what people are saying about him and could be trying his best to stick to his commitment but personal/at home issues aren't making it easy especially with children involved.

Before people say I've gone off the deep end, I don't deny that but just for context his wife has publicly posted negative comments about the warriors when he didn't win the club award last year and about Manly when he was leaving there.

Totally unrelated but I remember back in the day when he absolutely clothes lined Marc Ellis at MSS.. I heard Marc’s soul leave his body for a split sec… still remember that bone crunching hit to this day..

Gordan was one of my favourite player's back in the day. Absolutely monster! I do remember him cracking Mark Ellis in half. Poor guy caled rugby to take him back

My best memory of him is dragging Hodgson like a baby across the turf then dumping him over the sideline like he was trash.

It’s worse than a gossipy housewives club in here …

You're as bad as the rest of us bitchface

[WA Warrior]

One of my favourite Warriors to put on the jersey.
Webby and the club were nothing but supportive and letting him leave with our blessing.
Just shithouse to see this go sideways.
Be good to find out the details eventually but I have a gut feeling that it’s his side that’s letting this relationship go down the toilet.

Michael Burgess: Why the Warriors demoted AFB and why he won’t leave

Dropping a player, especially one of your biggest names, in this way, isn’t done lightly

Any help with this?

I’d be shocked if he isn’t granted an immediate release within the next two weeks

The writing’s on the wall. The NRL needs to do more to protect clubs in these situations. Contracts becoming more and more meaningless

Wonder if the hold up is the Warriors seeing what they can get for him?

They won’t get anything for him.

It’s probably just posturing at this point, giving him some time to change his mind or working out the T&C’s (i.e. not playing in games against us etc)
