It does make me wonder just how long he hasn't been 'happy' off the field. But by accordence to what many of you who were at the after match function last weekend say; it' is some pretty poor public apperances by Sione.

Nah - my info says he was off his face when he arrived at the game - the bit about Ivan is on the money - and he also failed to carry out a request to do something for the Club.
This is not the thinking of a conspirator as there are easier ways of getting out of a contract - like asking for instance. This is the action of a guy who has a huge chip on his shoulder. He needs to exorcise his demons, including failing to live up to expectations at 6, get on with life and stop blaming others for his predicament.
Management have tried to rehab him but it is now entirely up to him how he copes into the future. I hope he does, I hate seeing such talent go to waste, whether or not I like the person. I do happen to think Sione is not a bad bloke when he is sober.

I can only assume, then, that he has a fairly high tolerance for alcohol. I only say this because when I saw him he was walking perfectly fine with good balance, and he wasn't slurring his speech. That's not to say things didn't get worse as the night wore on, though.
And I agree entirely with your last two paragraphs. Spot on.
hey all youy missed obvious connection drunkin misbehaving ex warrior bring in the sharkies they have lost vagana, phil bailey and signed no one except missi plus they have a big hole in the halves and could use his ball skills at lock they also took lance thompson and rumoured to be talking to brett seymour talk about low standards at your club. Main area i'm annoyed get rid of him 2 months ago and no testimonial required Awen could have stayed using his money
Probably not his real name.He is of greek origins anbd a lot of them shorten their name to make it easier for dumb Aussies.you would probably find his real surname is Peterdouloupolous or something and he just shortens it to Peterswarriors4life said:

:lol: nice work, actually my sister's boyfriend has a friend whose name is Peter. Easy but his last name is just way too hard to pronouse especially if you do it really fast. I can't and I don't even try!! Haha
Fine Jess Bass - I can sink plenty before I get the wobbles - well thats my opinion obviously - and anyway I didn't see Sione at all. Spent too much time at MBL on the kava!!!

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, there was no altercation between Cleary and Faumuina:
It has been alleged that Faumuina, who was sidelined with a wrist injury, was drunk at the game and abused fans. There has also been speculation he abused Cleary - however, the coach denied this.
"He didn't abuse me, unless someone else saw something I didn't," he said. "I spoke to him at one point and it was pretty amicable. But it's disappointing. We're pretty strong on values. We just want people who want to do the right thing, off the field and on it. Unfortunately Sione just doesn't fit in there."

KWyword in that sentence unfortunatley. If only his attitude was good he would still be in the team, but UNFORTUNATLEY his attitude was all wrong and sione sealed his own fate.
I am told that good old Mick Watson is behind this.
Faumuina has been getting "advice" from Watson and his mate this agent guy by the name of Lopez. By all accounts, they have been trying to get Faumuina a deal in Sydney and told people that he would be out of the Warriors about a month ago.
Maybe the theory behind this is that in Faumuina's mind, the Warriors mucked him around by swapping him from the back-row to five-eighth and back to the pack so he figures he will muck the club around before heading off.
Watch out for legal action from Faumuina as well.

Legal action from Faumuina? Why?
Its pretty simple really.
Sione Faumuina is a raging alcoholic.
The Warriors have given him opportunities to sort out this problem but Sione has taken little notice of any advice given.
Good riddance that he's gone.

The more I read about it the worse Faumuina looks. The guy seems to have a serious attitude problem, he's arrogant, and doesn't want to take any responsiblility for his actions and finds it easier to blame others. What's worse is I don't think 100% of that can be blamed on the alcohol. Good decision by the Warriors to cut him loose. It was the only decision they could've made in the end.

Exactly. It's all speculation. Both Faumuina and Watson have posted on this forum before, so they can come and clarify this all if they want.

I for one believed him from the get-go, having already seen Faumuina's behaviour on the weekend. But hearing about a player being sacked, which was posted up after the event, doesn't give credibility to the conspiracy theory operating behind the scenes. Only Faumuina and Watson know if those claims are accurate.
