Quote: KaeruJim "Are contracts dependent on us being in Super League? Honestly don't know.
We'd lose a huge wedge in Sky money, and have everyone and his dog circling around the best players we have remaining and our juniors.
Might be a windfall for SMTM but there is no guarantee we'd be back in SL soon.
I reckon 80% of the necessary player changes will have happened by the end of this year anyway, we don't need relegation to help it on its way. If we still have a couple of hanger-on I can live with that.'"
This myth on the contracts is getting silly now. I thought Leigh confirmed all this the other year. Contracts are not null and void on relegation. They are only null and void if the club goes part time from full time.
Unless there is a clause in the contract that the player can leave, then you are stuck with them if they don’t want to go, or payed off fully. If you go part time, then you are really finished. Only the good players will really want to get out of their contracts and leave willingly.
