One example is all it takes to disprove an absolute statement.

'All swans are white' is disproved by a single example of a black swan. 'NRL contracts are non-binding' is disproved by one example of a player being forced to honour a contract.

Whoever suggested all Swans where white ? That's silly.

His contract doesn't end till 2021 with Dragons. Maybe you missed the point.

His club were OK with letting him go, provided however they were given sufficient lead time to plan their squad.

The club could have held him to 2020, however they would want the player market to see them as being reasonable and compassionate to a players well-being.

How’d it work out for Tigers when Moses decided to dummy spit? Nothing a club can do if a player suddenly ‘loses form’.
Broadly speaking, there’s probably three things they can do.

1. Keep him and put him reserve grade.
2. Keep him and performance manage the shit out of him so that eventually realises he has no alternative but start playing to a level that he is capable of.
3. Piss him off.

The nature of the player, the costs involved and the alternatives available will dictate which option gets chosen.

You think that Option 3 always happens. I reckon there’s lots of instances where Option 1 and 2 occur and don’t even make the news.

Nope. Oysters. Pilbara Oysters.

PILBARA OYSTER FARM TRIAL BEGINS

For decades it has been the Pilbara’s rocks that we have shipped off, but now a trial has showcased what grows on some of our rocks to the rest of the world.

A joint-venture research project between Maxima Pearling Company and the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation to grow and harvest edible oysters is up and running, with equipment deployed off Dampier last week.

Maxima general manager Steven Gill said with two native oyster species available, there was a chance to diversify.

“In this trial, we’ll target the tropical blacklip oyster, as it has been shown in other regions to have a rapid growth rate and good market attributes, including size and taste,” he said.

Pilbara Development Commission chief executive Terry Hill said it was an important milestone for the development of aquaculture in the Pilbara.

“Oysters naturally grow in abundance along the Pilbara coast, so there is a significant opportunity to establish a commercial industry, which would result in new regional jobs and economic growth,” he said.

“On paper, the conditions, climate and market demand make it a no-brainer. Now we’re getting on with collecting the scientific evidence we need to prove it’s economically viable on a commercial scale.”

The project site, located 30km north of Dampier in Flying Foam Passage, consists of four trial sites marked by buoys.

The Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation will support the project by providing monitoring and sampling.

Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation chairwoman Raelene Cooper said the project would help activate the national park.

It will take three to four months for the spat collection to be completed. The oysters will then be transferred to grow-out baskets where they will grow until they are a marketable size, which may take about two years.
