Where did you hear this?
If the offers involve big money it's unfair to stand in his way. But unless it was huge money i'd be very reluctant to let him go. He's first grade quality and in a position where you want that kind of depth. Especially for us, with The Duge being an origin player and a touch injury prone.
As Brissy Red V mentions, replace unfair with illegal, but proving it is the difficult part & I'm sure all clubs do it....It is unfair for another team to contact a contracted player and destabilise his relationship with his current club. If he is part of the clubs plans for this season and the next, another team cannot come in and bump up his contracted price. At this point, our players that are capable of playing in the halves for next season are widdop, witt and quinlan.
Canterbury after our boy?
Surely this is some kind of mistake.
Yeah, it's usually the Knights who come after our players.
doesnt sound right to me...
Bulldogs are going after Tedesco..
Cowboys have lachlan coote signed to a decent deal, and although he is injured most of this season they have a couple of players that can fill in until Coote returns.
Quinlan would be crazy moving to a club where he would still be second fiddle..
If Cowboys offer him what he's worth, let him go, kid deserves better than to languish in reserve grade. If Dogs offer him a contract, get a big neon 'HELL NO' sign made up...
It happens, even our own club does it. For example we tried to grab Sam Williams before June 30 last year (lord knows why, now), and we've signed other players who needed a release from the final year of their deals (Bronson Harrison is one)Why should we let him go.It's a squad game and we now have depth in most positions,f#*k any club who think they can throw cash around to lure a player who is under contract,this goes for any club and player.
The NRL should get on top of this crap and make contracts worth the paper it's written on.
