Amazing how the clubs demand loyalty when it suits them. They are happy to shaft a player and send him to the sticks to squeeze him at times. Josh Hannay, Brett Seymour, Smokin Joe and now Kidwell.
Not even a call to his mates or coach. If you think that is okay because there is a pot of gold at the end then you are as bad as him.
My take on this is partly what The Colonel said. I reckon that he was railroaded into an unfair and unjust contract. He got legal advice that he could walk and he did. Two sides to every story.
I thought the legal advice that he had was that the contract was binding....... and that was the outcome of the original meeting that Anthony Mundine, Nasser and Solomon Haumono all rocked up to. It wasn't long after that that he agreed to honour the contract. Not sure the contract was toltally unfair or unjust - $400,000 a season isn't exactly sh*thouse by any stretch when the minimum is $50,000. As I mentioned, a manager worth his salt could make sure he isn't being taxed anywhere in the vicinity of $0.49 in the dollar.
I think you will find that he has acted outside legal advice.
who cares, the game is bigger than one man. There were mega stars before him and there will be mega stars after him. I can't believe the rubbish that some people in the media are talking about such as dropping the salary cap and cutting the amount teams in sydney. These moves will cause so much more damage than any player moving to another code or country ever would.

That sounds like it's got more chance of working, than going through the IRB.Wilkins on the ABC is on air now, talking about a legal avenue which can see an injunction placed on him by a NSW Court, and enforcement of that injunction sought through a French Court.
I cant believe how everyone is giving it to SBW and defending the Dogs and the NRL for their court action, yet no one gave a sh*t when Judas walked out on us
Wonder when Manly will sign him
