They are only over because clubs can have a free for all and talk to players under contract. Cut that out and contracts may mean a thing like all other professional organisations.
There is a rumor of a trade deal one or both twins for Klemmer which I don’t understand cos we need props so I don’t believe it
CCB I really don't get your point here,
Are you trying to make a argument for the hell of it?
This crap with Klemmer happens 10 times a year, why is it such a big issue for you now?
Get back in your box for 5 minutes mate, maybe you should take the same holiday from the forum I do.
CCB?
Like I’ve already acknowledged that all clubs do it and it’s a shocking look for the game as someone else has already stated on here. It’s an issue because this one involves the Knights so I can talk about it on here?...
I could just as easily bring up how bad it is with the Cowboys poaching Holmes under similar circumstances but I’m sure most on here wouldn’t care. Correct?
Hurry up and go on your said vacation from the forums then or add to the topic instead of adding nothing to it.
You see how the NRL are reporting it vs other news sites? Other sites, Klemmer unhappy with dogs and wants out to join Knights on massive 4.6mill 4 year deal....vs NRL, Klemmer wants out on personal grounds, Knights expected to be leading club to potentially sign him should dogs release him.
Everyone else acknowledges this crap goes on openly, yet NRL still play their PR game, like players leaving to play under bennet for cheap, or whatever.
Enforcing the anti tampering rule won't work as it is unenforceable, same as salary cap is. Players will still have personal problems and suddenly end up at a new club.
As much as you want it to be otherwise, how things should be, and how the reality is are very different things.
You have already talked about Holmes multiple times none with a care factor toward him being under contract.
Yeah but they are paid exponentially more and are well off no matter the decision.That’s the whole issue. A lot of fans are beginning to get sick of the PR game and are calling for changes. The comp is run like amateurs.
That’s a matter of opinion re enforcing the anti tampering rule. They work perfectly fine in the US. There’s a trade period for players to ask for a move. In between those times they can either toughen up and do what they’re payed for or sit out without pay.
Yeah but they are paid exponentially more and are well off no matter the decision.
NRL players play out their career and dont earn what is sports stars do in one year.

Won't work, if a club releases a player they are free to negotiate and sign a new deal with whoever they want. NRL already has bag men and shady deals being done behind closed doors and can't do anything to stop it.
No different here. It's sad the NRL is like this but that's the reality of the sport. Nowadays the contract is meaningless, better off keeping the players you want to keep, happy. Otherwise they will leave mid contract. Dogs did not do this, Klem being paid way less than his worth, dogs signes other players on bumper contracts and left Klem on lower wage, other clubs will exploit that.
I like Buhrer but fmd that’s disappointing. Whoever’s idea it was to announce it like that should be looking for a new job.
