Rumours and Stuff

So if he's contracted to end of 2020 then how are they even able to offer him anything?

They cant, which is why I said they can identify all they want - they cant have him if they cant make him an offer.

I presume though that if the Warriors offered him a Top 30 spot in 2019 and we kept him on a development contract in 2019, that we're restricting his ability to play in the NRL (as developmemr playersa cant be picked) and contract or not, that would be considered a restraint of trade.

Wow you sound like you’ve studied law at the school of Perry Freakn Mason

You appaently left early, there was a crash on the Gateway.

I only took out 3 park cars and steered clear of the Gateway.

If we are paying him it's not a restraint of trade.

Wouldn’t that be the same as a club offering more money to anyone, regardless of whether they are playing NRL or not? The law doesn’t give a shit about the NRL.

One thing in our favour is that we can offer a MASSIVE f**kEN UPGRADE on 2020, and maybe even something for next year as well. The Warriors can't offer that unless we agree to release him.

Klemmer has two years on his contract and Newcastle could not sign Klemmer but eventually they did. Mate, if a player wants to go, he’s gone. Contracts mean shit

Agreed. I’d still be trying to move Taka, Smith or French to find a spot for him in the top 30 next year as our backup half. I guess the post June 30 availability for development players is an option but it wouldn’t hurt to keep our potential long term half happy.

Paying him is irrelevant. We're restricting his ability to play in the NRL when he has the ability to do so somewhere else.

It's not about subjective issues like not selecting him. His ineligible because of his contract. That's the restraint.

It’s a bit different having an unhappy marquee player and leader on massive coin compared to a rookie who is yet to play NRL and is costing us f**k all at the club.

I've been amused no end with all the forum experts arguing which one of Moses or Norman should go to the Warriors when all along this is the guy they have targeted. Finally its out. Blame Cayless for this. It's also the reason I believe there was no "squad" spot for Hayne. He's signed til 2020 but Parra will need to upgrade him. He's the real deal this is no news to Parra. Expect them to fight for him

It is absolutely relevant. Do you understand the ability to play NRL is not a legal matter?

That doesn't sound like a real school.

Klemmer had 4 years still with the Dogs.
I agree contracts mean sh#t.

Browns parents moved over here this year so using the homesick card would be hard.
Fantastic kid.
He loves his heritage so eventually at some stage 1000% he will return to NZ. Whether that is next year or in 3 years if given the opportunity he would go.
You can only hope that in some of these young players minds they are greatful and thankful for the opportunities provided by there club and they remain loyal.
I would like to think Dylan Brown would be loyal to Parramatta but who knows.!

NRL playing deals are still under Australian law just a Contract of Employment.

A Development Contract in the NRL restricts someone's ability to play in the NRL. Contracts that restrict someones ability to employment opions like playing in the NRL is essentially a restraint of trade.

Of course, we could negate all of this by upgrading him to the Top 30.
