Quote: BillyRhino "Their reasons, and the assorted excuses offered up by some on here have no bearing whatsover on that particular point!'"



You are living in a different world if you think length and quality of service are not contributing factors when decisions are made between an employer and employee.

Who exactly has upset you with differing views on Donald & Eastwood? because I know what my thoughts were on Eastwood and what I posted.

Quote: Andy Gilder "Isn't that what they refer to as a "backhanded compliment"?

Oh, and btw - don't be so liberal with your tarring brush. My opinions, whether you agree with them or not, are my own and not influenced by anyone elses.

Do you not agree then that the method by which both individuals have chosen to try "not fulfilling" their contracts could or should have a bearing on how they are perceived by fans?'"


Indeed. A reasonable employer will look to the welfare of his players, and I can see why the devious approach by Eastwood, does not stack up well against Donalds, and in all truth I have absolutely no problems with Scott Donald's reasoning or desire to return home.

I have also no axe to grind regarding Eastwood either, other than this is precisely the kind of talent that GH should be signing with an eye to our future, and to loose his services is a pain in the butt.

The over the top platitudes by the gormless few were there to be shot down, although I reckon it's run its course now.

Next week, I expect Numpties R Us to be offering up similar opportunities!

Fair enough but I didn't see anything OTT myself.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg



Quote: BillyRhino "Perhaps G1 could shine some light. Hypothetically of course.'"

The contract starts when there is an offer, acceptance and consideration. In this particular instance there will be no consideration from either party as Donald will not be offering his playing services and Leeds will not be paying him.

Thus, there is no contract. It has been rendered void.

Making the situation both legally and morally a whole different ball game to the Eastwood situation.

HTH.

Quote: Rhinos Feckwitt "It is to be hoped the enchantingly memorable, delightful and sensationally exotic Scotty hasn't set a very dangerous precedent for future antipodean chancers looking to wriggle out of lucrative Super League contracts prematurely.'"


Hummm - there was a former poster of these boards (who swore never to return) who used to refer to Donald as a chancer too.
