No it isn't. Panthers owe Tigers nothing. The loyalty of a club is to it's members and sponsors.
Agree
Look I'll be gutted if Cleary goes and yes a part of me will be filthy at Gould and the Panthers. Whilst it is definetly unethical to approach someone who has more then 2 years to go on their contract with a Rival at the end of the day Gould is looking after his club. That is what I want my CEO to do. If it was in reverse I would have a lot of sympathy for the Panthers but ultimately be happy that he's done what was in my best interests.
The only person Tigers supporters should be filthy with is Ivan. When the Moses thing was going on last year he took a morale high ground and said QUOTE 'You sign a contract, you should stick to it'
As Brent Read said Ben Matulino packed up his family and moved countries to play under Ivan. A month ago he sat in Moses Mbye's living room and painted a picture of a plan he had for Moses career over the next 4 years.
He has signed aging Josh Reynolds, Russell Packer and Ben Matulino to big money longterm deals.
He made huge promises and commitments to the club, players and fans, said he has a vision and will make us a Premiership Contender during his time here.
If he packs up and goes it will seriously be the biggest dog act in recent memory for rugby league.
