FYI if anyone was interested

What is clause 9.1?

 

[the_eel]

Wow....thats very interesting. Geez they must really dislike McDougall in Bunny territory.

 

[fish eel]

Changing the culture of the club for the rest of the year?

So you ditch the most competitve player you have.

JT will be their first grade coach this time next year.

What is clause 9.1?

In the old days it was known as D C M....
or Don't Come Monday :lol:...

 

[Twizzle]

I wonder what sort sort of culture he fits into

 

[Gronk]

What is clause 9.1?

Dickhead policy. ;-)

 

[forward pass]

What is clause 9.1?

In the Souths contract it is

9.1 Players with ability shall be released as early as possible to ensure they do not interfere with the established culture of the club

 

[Kornstar]

He is an arrogant pig who doesn't belong in any club!!

I agree, But i feel he will be Souths 1st Grade Coach by Round 10, McRae is rubbish.

 

[gustarny]

who cares

 

[JessEel]

if you don't care why did you feel the need to post a message that says : "who cares" [-(

 

[Hurriflatch]

Luke MacDougall signed with the Dragons isn't that a breach of clause 9.1

 

[Hurriflatch]

I wouldn't be surprised to see JT start the season as coach.

If Souths don't win another game and Parra make the top 8 (even if they drop out in the 1st week) JT will be coach before Souths play a trial match

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

You think it would be hard for JT to arrive at Souths and take a back seat after having the head gig here for 2/3 of the season.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Considering his past indescretions, I don't think he belongs in the game.

However, considering that Souths did sign him to a contract, they are absolutely stupid to let him go. He is always in their top 3 players on the field and they are just shooting themselves in the foot with this one.

 

[number8]

Steriods McDougall is going back the Knights next year isn't he? Is there a registration cut off date for this years signings? If not, maybe he'll head across early...

 

[V1er]

I think the date for joining another team this year was June 30, so mad dog will have to wait till next year.

 

[number8]

Meanwhile he just gets older & older! I know he's got good footy ahead of him but fair dinkum....... His body is cactus! He's had his best & now seems intent on limping out of the game a broken mess!

...... With a healthy bank balance.

Is it worth it though?
