Crisis meeting called after $1m star's exit plea

The Warriors aren't about to give up on the game's most expensive prop Addin Fonua-Blake without a fight.The giant front-rower has put the club in a difficult position, requesting a release from his rich deal on compassionate grounds to return to Sydney.It is believed that Fonua-Blake's parents, who live in Sydney, are in poor health and the star forward wants to be closer to them.One official from a Sydney club interested in signing Fonua-Blake told Wide World of Sports, "It's no guarantee they will release him"."They want an equivalent trade. There are not many options available to them."They are Zooming with Fonua-Blake from England tonight (Thursday) and the general feeling is that he will stay in New Zealand for at least another 12 months."The Dragons have already put up their hand for Fonua-Blake, while several other clubs are also keen to secure his services.The Warriors put out a brief statement on Thursday stating "chief executive Cameron George said the club is considering the request".
