Guy needs to grow up.....if this is true about him returning to Taree rather than back to Sydney to play for the Roosters this weekend, certain rumours doing the rounds are up may be closer to the mark than we think...

Mystery surrounds NSW and Sydney Roosters centre Latrell Mitchell's decision not to return to Sydney after his shocker in Origin I.
There is agreement among Blues and Roosters officials that the 21-year-old returned to his home town of Taree with family members on Thursday.
Beyond that, things begin to get murky.
What remains unclear is whether Mitchell bothered to tell the Chooks about his change in plans, with the boom centre almost certain to miss Sunday's Round 13 clash against Penrith.
Blues senior adviser Greg Alexander claimed the Tricolours had signed off on Mitchell's road trip in a testy interview on Fox Sports on Thursday night.
Earlier, NSW coach Brad Fittler took a swipe at Mitchell's commitment levels and conceded the Roosters are far from pleased with Mitchell.
"I know they're not that happy at the Roosters and there's a lot going on in his life at the moment with managers," Fittler said.
"There always seems to be something other than footy. He obviously needs to work on his motivation.
Wide World of Sports' The Mole also reported on Thursday that Trent Robinson and co are none-too-pleased with the superstar back.
Mitchell started the 2019 NRL season among the form players in the competition but has fallen out of form in recent weeks amid speculation of off-field issues.
He was arguably the worst player on the field at Suncorp Stadium as the Blues surrendered an early 8-0 lead to suffer an 18-14 loss in the series opener.
Fittler is almost certain to stick with the centre for Game 2 in Perth on Sunday, June 23.
It remains to be seen whether the Roosters will sanction Mitchell if it is true he failed to notify them of his trip to Taree.
