Rumour is he has gone to the Gold Coast so much for being home sick lol
I honestly dont know how anyone could say with a straight face there is no cause for skeptisicm here.
he says he's suffering mental health issues and needs to go home... but when presented with the opportunity to return home asap and relieve him and his family of this mental health issue, he is upset at the club and instead of organising his affairs and getting on his way home, he reportedly heads to the GC...
Perhaps his need to get home isnt actually as he's portrayed it be.
You dont need Sherlock Holmes to figure out what is going on here.
George wants to go home, the Raiders were denying a release until they had secured his replacement. Both of those positions are entirely reasonable. The Raiders should want to secure a replacement before granting a release, that's standard fare for clubs. George is entitled to take his changing family situation and decide he'd rather be home in England.
He wasnt happy, he wasnt getting what he wanted quickly enough, he was impatient, aggitated and upped the ante with his no training/no playing and the club said "fine, go now if its that bad" and he's went "WOAH! hold up. I'd like another 3-4 months of pay at 600k+ AUD before i break the terms of the contract"
The Raiders then follow suit and throw their toys out of the pram and create a PR disaster.
But make no mistake, this is now nothing more than a dispute about money. This is not a mental health matter.
