I'm buoyed by the fact that we'd no doubt have good legal advice AND have had former Cap merkin Schubert on retainer for the past couple of months.
So no matter what the outcome, whether it be plan A, B or C - we'll be sweet.
Or
The club has received advice and an indication from the NRL that:
1. If you make a payment to Hopoate then this will be considered under the salary cap under NRL rules
2. If you pay him nothing and Hopoate chooses to persue the matter in court, the issue is outside the NRL and is a civil matter between two parties, that has nothing to do with the NRL and the NRL will not include it in Parra's salary cap.
Hence, perhaps why the club will just the let the matter run it's cause through the courts system.
