Well there you go a Handshake agreement although not something sent via email it is still a verbal contract so I’d say Luke Lewis went well and truly past just courting the idea of signing for Souths.

There some more detail for you. Its not the fact that they weren't content to sign him. If not for the stupid round 13 rule he would have been signed back in april. Now souths didn't make a big issue about him reneging due to his family issues that doesn't mean they didn't want to sign him.

As for Nathan Smith well like my last post showed Canberra were not at all happy with him reneging on his contract and sent a few emails threatening to sue him for breaching a contract they clearly thought he had made with them.
So once again I ask how is it any different to Steve Turner? You can find articles with them both talking about going to their new club which is exactly the same as Turner announcing it on the radio and more than likely any comments in the paper are directly quoted from radio interviews. It would seem that they both had at the very least verbal contracts or more than likely either a written agreement or one via email.

Interesting to see no comebacks on this one yet
