Castleford's Rangi Chase is unsure where he will be playing next season after confirming a potential move to Hull FC is now over.
Rumours
Chase described his drinking incident as "my little misdemeanour" but says the club's initial inaction followed by their failure to take decisive action added to his grief.
"It didn't get dealt with as professionally as I think it should have done," he continued.
"A lot of rumours circulated and it got worse and worse. What actually happened was bad enough but fuel was put onto the fire because it wasn't dealt with straight away.
"People were saying I'd been arrested and silly stuff like that. I had already let everyone down but people painted a picture of me that wasn't true and that hurt the most.
"It came to a point where I thought I was going to lose my job at Cas because they were pretty serious about the situation. That's when an opportunity came up and I had to get my plan B."
Chief executive Steve Ferres says Castleford will listen to offers, although Chase will only be allowed to leave if the deal suits the club.
"Any potential interest will be given due consideration and decisions will be made in the best interests of both parties," he said.
