Dan Carter in NZRU has signed a new contract which contains clauses which allow him to have a 'sabbatical' for a season where he can spend a season in Europe earning big money in order to top up his contract.
this type of clause seems to be a clever way to compete with European Club Rugby.
Theres rumors that the NZRU are going to be offering a groundbreaking new contract for SBW where he can still box(hes a rubbish boxer BTW) and have a 'sabbatical' clause where he can even play a season in Rugby League.
the reason why ive brought it up here is i wonder if this could work in the NRL... i know there's gonna be an increase to the cap when the new deal comes out... so this could be moot..
but could this work?? they would probably have to get a clearance from the NRL because it would fall foul of the cap...
but i can see a fair bit of merit in the idea.
any thoughts....??
