Player Transfer Denied - Avenues of Appeal?

Was wondering what the process is for this? If say a player is dropped from Bundy or even Shield to A-Grade, stays there for say 4 or more games and wants a release cause he's not getting opportunities, what avenues does he have if a transfer request is denied by the current club? I know the NSWRL ICCC has a committee that can rule on this for A-Grade or below, but how would this scenario work? Thanks.

Found what I think is relevant. Shouldn't matter whether it's A-Grade, Shield or Bundy, if a request is made, a club needs to show strong reason why they wouldn't want to allow a transfer. Am curious though how it works with a contracted Bundy or Shield player who has been stuck in A-Grade, though

BTW, how dumb is this site; need to have posted 20x + to be able to post links. Like, WTf? lol :roll: :roll: :roll:

Anyway, on the NSWRL site in the Documents section there is a Clearance Policy article...

my understanding from my time doing regos at my club is that you can only deny a transfer if the player owes money to the club or is serving suspension...we had guys coming and going from bundy cup..
we had one club once try and deny a transfer untill a bloke returned his training shirt :)

I've heard that if a Bundy player is contracted, which they have to be, he cannot be released without original club's approval, and they don't need to give a reason why...

You can't stop a player leaving u less he is contracted and owes money to the club, as many clubs give advances to players who then try and leave. In this day and age contracts with newel are still based on the old twice a year payments but some clubs do pay monthly which is smarter.
I have not heard of anyone being refused for anything other than owing money otherwise they just approach newel and they will sort it out if a denial is unjustified.
