Warrior legend Monty Betham is on the brink of Shaun Johnson's messy break with the New Zealand rugby club, saying "it's not personal".
Betham, 40, played more than 100 NRL games for the Warriors from 1999 to 2005 and said he saw a lot of stars coming in and out at the club.
"Look, it's not personal, I have seen guys carry the jumper for a long time, be admired and worshiped, and a step has gone," Betham said.
"Because they're not producing or the club wants to go in a different direction, I like the club and I like the players who are there and who have died for the club."
The New Zealand NRL club announced yesterday morning that Johnson was released from the last year of his contract and became an independent agent from now on.
"When that happened, I thought it was a challenge launched by the club," show me you're worth a million dollars, "what about someone? Another willing to pay this or Shaun showing what he can do on the ground.
"Shaun is 28. I am not surprised that he has also adopted this position because he has never been in this situation, he is normally registered at the beginning of the session, he has stability and longevity.
"He's not used to being interviewed by a club that he's been showing x-factor for so many years."
Australian reports indicate that he is ready to sign with the winners of the 2016 NRL, the Cronulla Sharks.
Cameron George said the club came first, regardless of the player.

"So, Shaun is in a position where he thinks maybe stability is what he wants and he can get this offer from abroad."
"Look, I do not think anyone, when they leave their home and go abroad, it's at that point that you have to test yourself and you have to get away from your comfort zone.
"I think in an Australian environment, it will be good."
Betham said he wished good luck to the former Warriors playmaker in his career at the NRL.
"But for me, just for Shaun of a former Warrior player and club fan, sorry for not having received your message as you should have done, that is, on the ground where many people would applaud, "said Betham.
"But I wish you all the best and I also wish all the best at the club, it's like a separation of two people that is close to my heart, but I wish them the best.
"And I understand both decisions."
