Centre Dane Nielsen is set to be granted a release today from the last year of his Warriors contract with reports suggesting he will join the St George-Illawarra Dragons on a two-year contact.
Nielsen's formal release had been held up while all required paperwork was completed but this is expected
to be signed off today.
"As we did with Feleti (Mateo) and Jayson (Bukuya), we've reached a decision to let Dane go so he can continue his career in Australia," said Warriors general manager of football Dean Bell.
"This is all part of the process we're working through as Cappy (coach Andrew McFadden) seeks to reshape the NRL squad the way we believe will best serve the club's needs."
Speculation has swirled for several months that the 29-year-old could be on the way out of the Auckland-based club.
