Hayne signs with Gold Coast

[GongPanther]

Already addressed by the NRL this morning as people have been repeatedly telling you - https://www.nrl.com/nrl-welcomes-jarryd-haynes-return/tabid/10874/newsid/99875/default.aspx

You have it the wrong way around. He is not a registered rugby league player. He is not transferring from one club to another considering he has not been under contract to any rugby league club for 2 years. If I want an example to use, I don't recall any "clearance" being given by Canterbury to the Roosters when they signed SBW.

I don't think clearances apply in the way you are interpreting them. If they were, they would run afoul of restraint or trade laws and would have been struck-down like transfer fees were in the Tutty v NSWRL case.

If everyone has a closer look at the last sentence in that link from the NRL.

"The decision required NRL approval which was given in "this case" in the best interests of the game."

So how can this be taken? In this Hayne case,have they made an exception to the 30th June deadline for the interests of the game?

Any approval of a non-contracted player signing up after 30 June is down to NRL discretion.

The 30 June deadline only applies to currently contracted players, which Hayne was not.

 

[Last Week]

Did anyone watch the full press conference ?

it started with this big intro about how a company, private flights (or something similar) , owned by Trip a Deal, helped to make this dream of signing Hayne a reality...

That screams to me, that Trip a Deal are paying Jarryd a 3rd party deal on top of his contract..

As you will see on the back of their jersey Trip a Deal is a direct sponsor of the club, and has a current relationship, hence,

How is this any different to what Parramatta were doing ?

Club sponsors are allowed to pay players a total of up to $600k per club.

oh look whos throwing him $300k a year...

A current titans sponsor...

Better make sure that 300k is counted in Cap .. .

Club sponsors are allowed to pay players a total of up to $600k per club.

in cap or outside ?

 

[Last Week]

in cap or outside ?

Doesn't matter does it? All clubs have access to it.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

how doesnt it matter... if the cap is 7.1...

Can you spend 6.5 + 600 sponsor or

7.1 + 600k sponsor

?

 

[Last Week]

I'm not certain. I believe it's on top of the $7.1mill cap.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

sorry i dont think that would be it...

If that is the case,

Then the cap is 7.7M .. . every team would just siphon 600k off their major sponsor,,,

In order to spend 7.7M ...

On top of the cap

What players can earn outside the salary cap:

$600,000 - Marquee Player Allowance - any or all of the Top 25 players at each club can share in payments made by club sponsors seeking to use a player's intellectual property. These may be guaranteed in the playing contract by clubs.

So how can this be taken? In this Hayne case,have they made an exception to the 30th June deadline for the interests of the game?

The case by case allowance is there so the NRL can block loan type contracts which would not benefit the game.

If Hayne wanted to just play the the rest of the season to fill time before starting on a French Rugby contract next year, for example, the NRL would no doubt block it. Since he has signed up long term, it is in the game's interest to approve the deal.

Just about the biggest name in Aussie sport is rejoining our comp for the rest of his career and people are complaining.

NRL National Clearance and Permits Policy

2 a. A clearance is required when a player and match official is moving from one Club/Association to another regardless of whether it is a new season or during a season

And

3 A Clearance may be initiated from the 1 November to 30 June within the same season


------------------------------

He is moving from one club to another. It is after June 30.

Unlike the registration rules there are no clauses allowing for associations to alter these rules.

no he isn't moving from one club to another. he hasn't been at the eels for a while. if he was still under an eels contract, then you would be right

[coolsteve]

just woke up, what did I miss? can ect update me on the clearance policy again. hope the nrl didn`t change it overnight

 

[alien]

He's going to be a train wreck this season. No way he has the right fitness to step straight into an NRL match.

maybe he has been training hard

 

[Card Shark]

i love how people harp on about fairness but the same whingers don't bat an eyelid when said team competes in the competition for roughly the full regular season 1 million or so dollars under the cap and a million or so dollars under every other team.

the titans have been brought up to everyone elses standards. it isn't unfair unless they are over the cap.

It's got NOTHING to do with the salary cap.

I'm sure Titans are well under after DCE screwed them, it's about sticking to rules that have been in vogue for forever.

If it was the Broncos that signed him because they got 3 3rd party deals & got a spare $100k in the cap, is that ok? Well it bloody well will be now....

 

[Card Shark]

After June 30 though players are not normally added to squads

Not ever.

Now the can of worms has been opened, what is to stop a rich club signing guest players for semis? Has the time honoured June 30 date been moved to August 30?

Hayne only wanted a 2 year deal in case he wants to play for Fiji at the 2019 RWC? Lol. I bet he won't be playing for Fiji at the RLWC next year though

Hayne just wants to follow in Brad Thorns footsteps....multiple codes for multiple countries. Let the man live his dream.

Yes he is. Parra to Gold Coast.

It doesn't matter if he played NFL, union or tiddlywinks over the past year.

He is moving clubs as far as rugby league is concerned. So he needs a clearance.

I really miss the head against brick wall emoticon... It fits so well here.
