Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[oldmancraigy]

i thought the NRL had an explicit thing in place to stop players getting paid disproportionate amounts from year to year .... wonder how much he got in 2012 if he is only technically getting 100K in 2013

They do have a thing in place to stop players getting 'significant variation' between years.

Unfortunately it isn't a set amount, and therefore up to Schu's interpretation, and so a totally crap rule.
[I bet Brandy is wrong though]

I bet the Roosters paid the Warriors enough money to pay Maloney out in full. [This money from Roosters to Warriors would've been a 'donation' and so not seen in salary cap monies]. Maloney would've then signed as big a 1 season contract with the Roosters as he could, and then signed a new deal at seasons end for the lesser amount (ie, $100k).
Since the only thing that needs to be lodged at the NRL is the actual contract, all the negotiating could've been documented and attested by lawyers so that Maloney was bound to pay the Roosters back the money if he reneged and didn't sign up at seasons end.

 

[oldmancraigy]

why would the warriors be so keen to help the roosters out? .... storing up browny points for the future?

Exactly - but why were they so keen to help the Dogs out?

Basically it's them dumping salary, and I don't believe Alexanders version of events, it'd be too hard to sneak that one past super sleuth Schu

So in the NRL rumour thread. Someone has heard will had gone sour on us after his brothers sacking and will go back to manly? Can't see it happening

Me either considering Manly were sweating on the cap increase for 2013 just to register Snake's contract. They'd have to chop a whole bunch of players to afford a $700+ contract for Hoppa in 2014.

 

[parra-matters]

not happening Will is a eel in 2014.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

As soon as we pissed off Jamil you knew there were going to be rumours of Will wanting out. He will come.

I like your style.

he can go as sour as he likes he signed a contract

 

[El Diablo]

he can go as sour as he likes he signed a contract

it's not a contract until it's registered with the NRL

 

[Gary Gutful]

it's not a contract until it's registered with the NRL

But he can't play with any other club without our agreement. Correct?

 

[El Diablo]

i think he could leave if he wanted with no probs

 

[Gary Gutful]

Would seem a little strange that we wouldn't have sought to get some sort of binding commitment from him prior to the NRL registering.

 

[El Diablo]

i don't think you can get a binding commitment until the contract is registered with the NRL which is after round 13

 

[stuke]

Isn't that if he has a current contract with another club?

Could the rules be different for a player who doesn't have a current contract? Especially one that a club has already invested in terms of training and monitoring.

 

[Craig Johnston]

i don't think you can get a binding commitment until the contract is registered with the NRL which is after round 13

i'm fairly certain that rule only relates to players with more than a 6 months left on their contract. it was brought in to protect the existing club with "last matching rights" i believe

 

[hybrideel]

who's to say he isn't currently part of our squad and taking a piece of our cap which is why we threw the money at him that we are

In other words, you don't know.
Thanks for clearing that up.

well going off what has happened in the past it seems logical that would be the case

i don't see why he would fall under a different set of rules just because he doesn't currently play and isn't under contract to another club
