AFTER constant speculation, South Sydney have finally granted young star Chris Grevsmuhl a release, with the Emerging Maroons second rower expected to link with the Panthers.
Grevsmuhl earlier this year signed on to join Penrith from next season on a lucrative two-year deal but a recent decline in his relationship with Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire ensured he was ushered out the door early.
Its understood Grevsmuhl was criticised by Maguire after the Rabbitohs round nine loss to the Tigers and it was the last straw for the 22-year-old who didnt turn up to training early the following week.
That put the wheels in motion for his early release, with Penriths decision to release Elijah Taylor to the Wests Tigers key in accommodating an early move for Grevsmuhl.
The Panthers are yet to confirm that they have picked up Grevsmuhl after the Rabbitohs issued this statement: The South Sydney Rabbitohs have agreed to release back rower Chris Grevsmuhl from the remainder of his contract effective immediately.
Grevsmuhl played 29 NRL games for the Rabbitohs having made his debut in round one, 2015, scoring eight tries for the club.
This was to be Grevsmuhls final season in the red and green having already signed a contract to join another NRL club (the Panthers) for the 2017 season.
Rabbitohs General Manager of Football Shane Richardson said: Chris has developed his skills into an NRL footballer at our club since making his debut at the beginning of last season.
We wish him the best of luck in the future.
