I think the Dogs have stuffed up here and will probably be forced to settle out of court.. They knew all along he was a dickhead, he asked for a release and they refused.. Then in the offseason they decide to sack him.. I think they wanted him out all along but wanted to punish him by waiting until the other clubs had nothing left in their salary cap.
He could probably successfully argue that the trouble he got into in the off season was no different to what had happened in the past which they deemed not worthy of being sackable offences..
Rubbish. The difference is he did it again, and again. All his 'non-sackable offences' add up after a while
He did it again and again for 7 years.. What are the Dogs going to say in court.. Breaking the teams code of conduct for the 23rd time warrants dismissal but not for the 22nd time.. It won't wash..
His misdemeanours were never officially recorded under Noad's CEOship. When Greenberg assumed the helm, one of the first things done was those indiscretions being recorded on player files and warnings issued.
Maitua fugged up more than enough to be punted. Anyone arguing the Bulldogs shouldn't have terminated his contract deserves to have him at their club, and then I'd love to see their opinion.
Timmah, it is not about their moral right to terminate his contract.. It is the legal right.. Legality and morality very often are 2 different things.. That's my point.
They would have never terminated him if they had no legal right to do so. Just because 50 previous indiscretions were overlooked that doesnt make this sacking illegal.
Hes been on atleast 2 public "last warnings" aswell
Id like to see him resurrect his career at another club, straighten up and work hard...become.... Reni Mature!
Ill go now.
So no players are ever sacked illegally?
