In one sense if he doesn't want to play for us there is nothing we can do, but in another sense what's there to stop us saying to Brodie Croft we will give you a bigger paycheck if you walk out on Salford so we don't have to pay a fee.

Is it only a problem if you ask someone to do it, or are players just free to break contracts whenever they feel like it.

UK employment laws don't give employees unfair dismissal rights until they have 2 years of "permanent" employment. Can you just sack a player anytime, or do the games bylaws prevent it?

I'm genuinely confused here.

Doing this may have stopped us signing Momorovski as we would have had no quote spot free?!

If this is the case then OS quota player can do what they like of they want out as clubs are held to ransom on needing to fill that spot.

Seems to be the case yep. Have we ever received a transfer fee for any overseas player wanting out? Segeyaro, Eastwood etc.?

No, not disclosed anyway I think.

We usually get a “world class partnership & idea exchange with “game changing pathways” instead of cash.

Bottom line is 2024 is a fresh start. We've got some real star signings and a completely new spine. Any player not fully committed should be shown the door (and probably has been). I reckon that's the approach Leeds have taken to this off-season, and its been a long time coming. Letting Nene go and signing someone else quickly afterwards ought to send a clear message to any prima donnas in the squad (not thinking of anyone in particular of course.....).
