Warrington's focus has been on the positive contributions Sandow made at the club whilst understanding the personal challenges and reasons why he's not returning to the club. They've been proactive and moved on.
Leeds focus has been spiteful, with little acknowledgement since of the positive contributions Segeyaro made at the club last season. There's been little attempt at reaching an understanding. The club have been reactive, they've not yet moved on and are threatening legal action instead.
Sorry Dude but you are wrong on this assumption about Warringtons focus on Sandow being only positive.
Quote from BBC Sports website 23-11-2016
" Australian half-back Chris Sandow's exit from Warrington was not a shock, says Wolves head coach Tony Smith.
The 27-year-old did not report for pre-season training on Monday and his agent told the club he would not see out the final year of his contract....
"The timing of it wasn't great, but Chris is erratic like he is on the field," Smith said.
"I wasn't overly shocked. The timing and the method of informing us was poor, but aside from that there were no grand shocks."
Warrington have retained the player's registration if he wishes to join an NRL club. HENCE THEY CAN STOP HIM PLAYING OR DEMAND A FEE... ( Same as Leeds with Segeyaro ).

Karl Fitzpatrick, Head of Rugby Operations, said: "Chris is contracted until the end of 2017 and should have reported for pre-season training today (21 November).
"This is a clear breach of contract. We will be retaining his registration until further notice.

“He was OK for most of it, and at sometimes he was a pain in the proverbial. He was a fair mix, he was certainly a character, as everyone had worked out.
“He brightened us up at different stages and was exciting to watch for a while, but he became a bit unreliable.
The two clubs have very similar reactions to these players walking out, the big difference is Segeyaro just signed a new two year contract and was looking to move to an NRL club for more money, nothing to do with homesickness.
Leeds have understood very clearly why Segeyro has failed to return and are just following through their legal right, we are also moving on with looking at other options, but I am sure they can multi task by enforcing a contract and also looking to hopefully recruit a replacement.
