If this is true it suggests the club f..ked up in some way and they knew it. Did they release him with no real compensation because they were frightened of what he might reveal about their performance or lack of ?
If they would rather release a great player just to avoid him criticising them then that's f..ked and really sucks for fans.
Don't get me wrong I think he's a f..kwit but it just makes me wonder.

Bulldogs and Corey Harawira-Naera agree to secret ‘play nice’ deal
THE Bulldogs and Corey Harawira-Naera have agreed to a secret clause which will prevent either party from rubbishing the other as part of the back-rowers release to sign with the Raiders.
Harawira-Naera has agreed to a two and a half year deal to join the Raiders immediately as a replacement for John Bateman, which could be announced as early as Friday.
The release not only prevents Harawira-Naera from playing against the Bulldogs in round 16, it will stop both him and the Bulldogs from criticising one another.
The Bulldogs officially released Harawira-Naera on Thursday but will keep winger Jayden Okunbor at the club.
“Jayden expressed his desire to remain at Belmore and apologised unreservedly to the club and the wider rugby league community for the harm he had caused to all parties,” the Bulldogs said in a statement.
“He has since undergone counselling as part of his rehabilitation and has pledged to offer his time to be involved in a full reintegration into the Bulldogs community program.

“Corey also apologised for his actions to all parties concerned, however, after further discussion with the player it was felt that in the best interests of both parties he get a fresh start away from Belmore.”
Chair Lynne Anderson said “at the end of those conversations it became clear that while Jayden very much wanted to be given a second chance at Belmore”.
“We totally understand that the behaviour that took place was unacceptable, we also looked at the opportunity for a second chance and for the ability of the individuals to redeem themselves,” Anderson said.
