Treated him like a fool
He was only saying last week how well saints looked after him and he loved the club. He also said how grateful he was for saints giving him extra time off for family reasons.
I know a current saints first team player, he's said in a ideal world TP wants to go to the NRL for family reasons but if nit he'll be a saint next year.
I guess the reference to "treating him like a fool" could be related to Saints only offering a one year deal when he wanted two and then changing their mind and making it two when they were worried that he had two year offers elsewhere. Mcmanus might think that an accpetable negotiating tactic but perhaps Pelutua didn't take too kindly to it.
As for point two "current player praises current club" shock. I bet a quick google search finds the same stuff from Eastmond a couple of months back.
I guess its possible that Pelutua signed for Saints with the intent to round his career off with a couple of winner medals. Only having a couple of years left of his career he perhaps thinks a move away from Saints to Warrington will still give him an opportunity to acheive this.
