Under the new rules, which will come into effect on February 1 and were agreed to by both the NRL and the Rugby League Players’ Association, clubs and agents have been informed they will face sanctions if they make “certain public and private statements that could be seen as attempts to lure or entice a player to join another club”.

Penalties for breaching the new rules may include financial penalties for offending clubs, players and agents along with salary cap penalties and, in the most serious circumstances, deregistration of club officials, agents and players.

As long as it's policed fairly & consistently, then good move.

Does that mean the unscrupulous managers like Moses have an indemnity prior to February 1st for their back alley deals?

The system seems too complicated. If a player is on the free market it should be posted on a bullitin board.
Players should only need an advisor to help wade through a contract. They already have the RLPA to help them.
Players pay an annual membership fee which involves the Collective Bargaining, contract and legal advice, welfare, education, and mental-health programs. Career transition and post-footy support and advocacy in disputes with clubs or the NRL are services they also offer.
Surely that's enough to get your name out there and get a contract without paying money to the unscrupulous ones.

Can we please leave the fabric of the game alone. It worked fine for 95 odd years and now all we do is change shit and it never works. Look at the game from the mid 90s to now. Back then the game was a super model now it's a crack addict.
