Quote: Superted "Completely see that point of view on the wider issue of contracts in Super League, and of course Ayoub would kick off in those circumstances, but I would say the club is bigger than 1 player, and can afford the odd loss of a player who doesn't want to be here, certainly much more than a young bloke can afford to write of a seasons earnings.
I suppose ultimately I'm of he view that life is more important than rugby league - let him go and live the life he wants. Ultimately, we've got a replacement but are still holding a young bloke to task over a point of principle - doing this could have massive implications on his life - it's just not worth it in my opinion.'"
The problem with this leftist stance is:
Joel Moon wants to move on with his life in London
Callum Watkins wants to move on with his life in Salford
Ryan Hall wants to move on with his life in Wigan
Matt Parcell wants to move on with his life in Toronto.
Can you see the problem here with not enforcing the employment contract, total and utter anarchy with clubs and the paying supporter not knowing who plays for the clubs week in week out.
IF THEY DON'T WANT TO BE TIED TO A CLUB FOR 1, 2,3 YEARS THEN DON'T SIGN A CONTRACT.
Anyway remember what Chicko said, It's all about his happiness and that is more important than rugby and MONEY.
Answer to that is if you wish to play in the next two seasons then take a pay cut and pay the transfer fee out of your new contract.
