Warriors powerhouse Addin Fonua-Blake, who is set to depart the club at the end of the season, has found himself sidelined for this week's game due to a "breach of club standards," as reported by news.com.au.
The departing star was left out of the upcoming match after leaving the dressing room early and missing the team's post-match rituals following their impressive victory over the Penrith Panthers last Sunday.
This unexpected turn of events has put a damper on the recent high of breaking a six-game losing streak with a depleted Warriors squad.
The decision to bench Fonua-Blake for the upcoming clash with the Dolphins has challenged the team's unity and resolve, as they look to maintain their momentum in the midst of a challenging season.
The club's statement regarding the star prop's suspension has sent shockwaves through the league community, highlighting the importance of upholding team standards both on and off the field.
The Warriors will undoubtedly feel the absence of their influential forward, but they must rally together and show resilience in the face of adversity as they prepare to take on the Dolphins in a crucial match during Indigenous Round.
