Rumours and Stuff

Perhaps BA meant for this year?
Like he won't discuss Moses signing until he is registered to play for us this season, which obviously simply cannot happen until the Tigers release him. NRL aren't going to register a player to play for another club while registered at his current club.

Otherwise doesn't make sense.
Here are the rules:
• A player may sign an extension of his contract with his existing club at any time
• A player may sign with a new club only during the final year of his contract
• A 10 business day cooling off period will apply to all contracts
• A club signing a player is prohibited from making an announcement until the cooling off period has expired

So if he has waived the cooling off period, then the deal can be announced.

With respect to the 2018-19 agreement, Moses may have waived his right to renege, but the NRL may still insist on waiting for the standard cooling off period to expire before they register the deal.

Moses waiving his rights is a private deal between him and the Eels. The NRL don't have to recognise it.

I expect Moses to be in the 7, Norman back in the 6.

I'd prefer to leave Bevan at FB, Gutho in the centres... I think your first list is how it will end up except Norman wearing 6, Moses the 7...

If I was the coach I'd have Norman wear the 7. Parra has an enormous history of failure in that 7 jumper and Norman seems like the type of personality to be able to just take that in his stride and be not too fussed about it. Whereas Moses will have pressure on him to perform any way, so why put more pressure on him by making him wear the 7 jumper?

I'm sure the coaching staff can work out what roles they want them to play without it mattering what jumper someone is wearing...

Yes I heard a Journo say that BA was convinced that MM could become an elite halfback.

IIRC the Hayne deal in the hotel room was effected without a cooling off period because the Tits brought with them a Lawyer.

Accordingly it seems that a players right to waive a cooling off period is not unlike here in NSW under the Conveyancing Act - Certificate of explanation and waiver signed by solicitor etc -

If my interpretation is right then the NRL would accept it readily. Hence why the NRL/Tits announced the Hayne deal next day.

I reckon that we got MM to sign two contracts (no, not like Cameron Smith). One contract is for 2017/18/19, the other is for 2018/19. We are waiting for the Tigers to release or not before we submit a contract to the NRL.

Hayne didn't have an existing contract with another NRL team. And while the summary of the rules doesn't discriminate on htis basis, this may affect whether the NRL are happy go ahead before the 10 days.

Agree, I can see no reason why it hasn't been except sorting out 2017.

yeh, but as per my other post, Hayne didn't have an existing contract with another NRL team. He wasn't seeking a release from someone else. So that might have induced them to treat it differently.
Surely whether or not he had existing contract is beside the point? They would have signed the same standardised contract with waived cooling off period. Assuming all contracts are executed only when registered by NRL, surely the NRL's powers in determining registration dates are very defined. If not, they probably should be

The NRL may validly seek to protect the interests of the a player's present club. They've set up a system where clubs believe that the NRL will not register a player until the 10 days are up.

And the Broncos manage to fit another big name into their rubbery salary cap !

I see the broncos are still benefiting from webcke and Tallis both retiring...

On a serious note, it's beliweldering how a team like the broncos keep snaring These players, while Newcastle continually misses out.

IDK how uncle benny hasn't won 15 premierships with the players he's had at his disposal.

Exactly, which is why Bellamy despite his grubby yet legal tactics is the best coach in the game.

.

It's not too complicated. They are the 1 team in a 1-team city that is a big rugby league city, with a relatively united media army. It makes it much easier for them to get external $$ for the players that don't breach TPA guidelines. Then if you add a bit of cheating it exacerbates the problem.

But for all other intents they have a legal contract between player and club. Didn't we recently go through this when is a contract a contract with Hopoate?
