Josh Addo-Carr has reportedly reached out to the Rugby League Players Association to help him split with player manager Chris Orr.

The Melbourne, NSW and Australian winger is said to be disgruntled with his management due to the fact he’s only earning about $300,000 at the Storm this year.

As an Origin and international star he could be worth as much as double that figure on the open market.

Melbourne has already granted him permission to cut his contract short and move home to Sydney at the end of this year on compassionate grounds.

But there remains a chance Addo-Carr could sign with a Sydney club ahead of the 2020 season, if the Storm grant him permission.

The Daily Telegraph reports a sticking point in those negotiations is his fractured relationship with Orr.

The player has now engaged the RLPA for help in handling the situation, and is reportedly prepared to pay $30,000 to Orr to finalise their split.

Storm boss Dave Donaghy on Thursday told RSN Melbourne the club wasn’t prepared to let Addo-Carr walk any time soon.

“Josh is contracted for two years and he’s fully aware that we’re not going to be providing a release and let a player of his talent walk out the door,” Donaghy said.

“Those conversations, they’re going on behind closed doors and will continue to go on behind closed doors just given our free-agency model.

“We’ve made those conditions clear for Josh, his agent and for the industry as well.”
