But the thing I don't get is that he was named on Tuesday. All of this was known then. So what's happened between then and now for Webby to say he needs to address this?

Nice thought process bro, 4D chess on that point about the delayed reaction from Webster.
The other way to look at it is that it at least informs us that Webster is not a reactive decision maker, most reactive types would have emotively told Addin get Farked Son..youre ridding down the back of the plane before he even reached the holy land Aotearoa NZ.

It seems to me with such an important player and such scandal that Webster probably chose to let the Warriors club - her Staff - her fans - the media enjoy one of the most epic wins in the clubs history without being derailed by a smutty story about a petulant star player that threw his toys out of the cot.

For that....as a fan...I say I am truly grateful to Andrew Webster for letting us all have this week, and for letting his players have the positivity at training until calling Addin into his office this morning like Mob boss and saying 'I know it was you that hit a made guy without asking permission, go with Tony da lip....he has a job for you out in the Arizona desert digging holes.....


Smart fish. Not Letting Addin take the attention away from the team by walking off, Addin tried to make the narrative all about him. Webster took that ground back this week by not rising to the bait, and when Addin was feeling comfortable boom hit before he blinked.

Be prepared for more Bull shit from AFB, he is testing Webster, trying to get the release he so dearly wants without pushing it so far that it negatively impacts his Salary entitlement.

A walk off is a passive aggressive act.

Thoughts on the AFB stand down - People have questioned why Addin was named when they had all of the information from the weekend already. I just watched Webster‘s press conference this morning and he didn’t mention anything about it either or questioned about it therefore I’d say this is a very deliberate plan to let the boys and the club enjoy the great win last week …… and it allowed for the emotion to die down, While they choose what they’re gonna do with Addin. If they always were gonna stand Addin down, Well it hasn’t dictated all of the league shows. And Webster and Addin haven’t had to answer any questions about it in the press either. The team would’ve known it probably right from the start so it won’t be disruption to them. It’s just great control of the media leading the narrative.

If The Warriors are turning into a great club - then we won’t find out the whole story just as we didn’t with Lodge. Results are the main thing with me - I don’t need to know all the dirty laundry as long as it’s been dealt with appropriately for the betterment of the club.

Furthermore - we are a better team with Addin - as long as he continues to put in like all the other games before the Panthers - I hope there aren’t people wasting their energy with boos around the ground as that won’t benefit our team either! (I know you are all free to choose and act how you like - just my take!)
 
The club had the choice of keeping it in-house and blaming injury or outing AFB. The reasons they went public could be:

- this is the latest in a series of incidents and they have had enough.
- embarrass him publicly to force him to step up or step out (bring it to a head).
- highlight him as a trouble maker forcing him to either pull in line to counter that perception or act more petulant and pull public support behind the club if it gets messy.

Whatever happens from here the club has ramped up the stakes.
