The club won in all those case, as the player couldn’t just leave:

Ask SBW how much it cost him to get out of his dogs contract, Mundine had to lend him a shitload! The dogs actually got an injunction to prevent him playing French rugby due to there being a contract in place

Lyons wasn’t able to play NRL for a few years, eels only let him play country footy and then in the UK

While Tallis sat out a whole year as the dragons refused to release him.

Those examples show just how much NRL contracts are actually worth, not one of those players were able to break their contract and actually do what they wanted to do!

Obviously they are the rare cases (3 cases out of thousands) and most of the time clubs and player negotiation something.

And with these cases the player was actually happy not to be paid, so they were happy to sit it out. The majority of NRL players wouIdnt be able to do that so they actually play even if they want out but are refused.

ok

Just tell Matagi and Vave (as I doubt they will be here next year) they are free to leave now. Didn’t the sharks want Matagi? While there is rumours of a UK club looking at Vave.

Frees up 2 spots and we have Evan so he can provide cover in the middle. Just not sure what effect it will have on the cap but.

Davis be another who would open a spot. King perhaps also.

The club can't force any contracted player to move on though. If the player wants to stay, they stay.

EG Greg Eastwood getting paid masses to play NSW Cup. Dogs tried their balls off to shift him but apparently that contract was worth the paper it was written on and about $800k more

Yes. If a club doesnt want you best to go but in Eastwoods case its maybe his last real payday so stays.
Norman maybe better to take a hit if offered 3yr contract elsewhere. Eels could throw him in Wenty if wanted and his value would likely dive.
