End of his career? You can only burn so many teams before people tire of you. The NRL can be an unforgiving place as Chris Sandow and others have found out. I can't comment on his potential because I never see him on the field- but Russell Packer is example of someone who has turned his life around and is now a player in demand so it can be done.
"AXED Titans forward Chris Grevsmuhl was let go by the club over accusations he sold a number of his jerseys on Facebook but never sent the goods out to fans who had already paid.
The Titans has confirmed reports by The Courier-Mail that the former South Sydney and Penrith forward had been released by the club, but would not comment on the reasons why.
However, it is understood it was due to the fact the troubled Grevsmuhl — who only joined the Gold Coast in March — took payment from at least 10 fans for jerseys that he never delivered.
In a message exchange obtained byThe Courier-Mail, Grevsmuhl told one fan he needed the extra money to help pay for his wedding.
The Titans were then contacted by those who had been left out of pocket by the 24-year-old and have worked to pay back the fans from Grevsmuhl’s own salary.
But now they have released him from his two-year contract over the incident.
Grevsmuhl has battled a number of personal issues in the past, including depression, and it is understood the Titans are extremely concerned for his welfare.
The Gold Coast did everything they could for him and his health while he was at the club but agreed to the release with his management earlier this week.
Neither Titans CEO Graham Annesley nor Grevmuhl’s manager Col Davis would comment on the situation, but it is believed the once promising youngster will take another break from the game until his off-field issues are sorted.
A spokesman for the NRL said they would not be conducting their own investigations into the matter as they felt it had been appropriately dealt with by the Titans."
