Everyone thought it was hilarious when Tedesco and Proctor did this to the Raiders. But it's suddenly a disgrace when Cherry-Evans (allegedly) does it to the Titans?
The only reason it was funny when Tedesco & Proctor did it was because they did it to the Raiders...

Who's fans took great delight in the fact the Raiders management got Papali'i to do a backflip on the Eels and they were also putting the pressure on Milford to backflip on the Broncos.

They sign a contract with the NRL and a separate contract with the club

Maybe the NRL contract has no recourse... But the contract with the club certainly does.

But not one club has taken legal action against the numerous players that have backflipped?

Frankly that fact alone says that this simply can't be the case.

It's obviously written in the contract that the agreement may be terminated without ramifications up until round 13. Not hard to see that.

That's not accurate at all
Te vast majority of raiders fans were on record as saying they felt for parra and the situation was f**king shitty. What we took delight in was when the signing was announced and a few fans said "don't pop the cork yet" and were shouted down as idiots by parra fans, we took great delight in reminding tj
We tried to tell them so

That's what f**king stumps me about this whole issue,..

There are 2 reasons that I can surmise that these clubs don't go further...

1 - The players haven't truly signed any binding contracts, maybe they just agree to terms or sign useless letters of intent. If that's the f**king case... The club deserves to lose the player because they shouldn't be announcing a signing based on that.

2 - Taking court action against the player/NRL would not be worth the cost... Especially considering that if everything goes your way... Your final prize is a player who's made it very clear publicly that he doesn't want to play for your club.

But there is most certainly scope for a club to take legal action if they wanted to.... And who knows... Maybe with the influx of private owners in the game a club might go through with it just to make a point and save face...

he said "nothing has changed"

the channel 10 interview was really awkward, hes so obviously full of shit, being evasive trying to answer in a way that he can later say he technically wasn't lying. Squirming about being 'uncomfortable in media spotlight', f**king coward!
