Bloody great example, Lyon couldn’t play in the NRL for a few years because the eels refused to let him break his contract. We forced him to play country footy then go overseas. I am pretty sure that wasn’t Lyon’s preference.......
We could have forced him not to play footy at all, but we were being nice...
Can’t see contracts being favourable to the player, it’s just like any situation when someone wants to break a contract.....
Mate you’re missing my point.
Parra signed him to play for the eels. Not for a bush team. There is no way the eels could of forced Lyon to play for them. So in that instance when Lyon has the dummy spit nothing but eels could do but grant a conditional release.
Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot? Imagine if the eels just decided to stop paying Lyon but still expected him to play. The nrl would be absolutely livid and the player welfare association would be up in arms too. Gronk would of got her knickers in a massive knot!!!!!
