Any truth in Paul Wood being sacked on Friday, due to clash of personality with new conditioning and fitness coach.?

He was on social media at his 'leaving party' over the weekend. Not sure what has gone on tbh.

Word is he has likely been offered a 2 year deal elsewhere.
Wire had offered him only one.

Like Carvell last season, it seems TS may have taken issue to this and he has been released.

Surely if it was/is about contracts this would of already been dealt with before squad numbers were announced.

Pettybourne leaves Wigan and Wood (if true) leaves Warrington!! Home town club to finish career?

Have also heard Leeds are interested .

Paul Wood has 1 year left on his contract.

Does not mean he cannot have it terminated, or ask to be released from it.

He contacted Wigan himself about a move at the weekend but was told that Wigan aren't interested as they have better options. Not sure if that will change with Pettybourne leaving suddenly.

He has requested to be released from his contract due to a fall out with the physio, his request was granted

There is grounds for the physio story.
And also about a 2 year deal elsewhere.
And perhaps a bit of each.
But for sure the club have released him from his contract whether it be requested or not.

If this is true what a poor way to end his time with the club...

If he has gone, then that is a pity because he has been in the squad for ? 14 years. But last season he looked all of his 33 years and unless he has found some magic pills, I suspect this would have been his last season anyway. From the clubs point of view it should provide Ben Evans with plenty of incentive to build on his strong showing last year, and with Asotasi pushing Chris Hill to be our number one prop, we look fairly comfortable in the front row - barring an injury run.

Absolutely no loss at all for me if true, sentiment aside.

a shadow of the player he was, and last season more often than not, a liability... probably not in the 17 when everyone would have been fit.

no loss at all for me either.

wut?????

Agree with Wirefan, no great loss for me

He had a poor season last season but the year before was one of his best, he certainly not in my top 17 but still a sad way to leave the club.

+1
except for the whether he leaves. I have no emotional care either way.
It's a job and he had other opportunities now.

Could this be one of Woody's pranks?

How harsh are you lot? He has been with us from being a junior player and always a loyal servant to our club.

Think he deserves rather better than just to be dismissed like this by both the club and supporters.

Does this not sound a bit..well... as rumours go?

a senior player has a falling out with the physio? I'd expect tony to slap them both on the head and say grow up.

I have seen the social media pictures and text and it does appear that he is on the way out. Unless it is some elaborate wind-up on his behalf.

fb or twitter?

I understand he’s resigned pretty much as set out initially by Vectrabest.

With Hill, Sims, Asotasi, Harrison and Evans in front of Wood and a drop in performance last season I guess there wasn’t the desire to change his mind this time. It will also free up a bit of salary cap to balance the squad better with a third dummy-half to support Clark and Higham.

A bit unfortunate how it has come to pass as Wood has been a consistent performer for us for a good number of years. Like Briers last year he hasn’t had the opportunity to say his goodbyes and receive the applause of the supporters with a traditional lap of honour.

wouldnt be surprised to see him join widnes now.
