Quote: Saddened! "Aren't we still within the anti-tampering deadline and therefore in breach of Super League rules by approaching two Hull players already?

Not that I'm complaining mind, but I wouldn't want to see us hauled over the coals over this. If this is true, we just have to hope it causes such a severe impedement to Manu's relationship with Hull, it's staff, players and fans that he is forced to leave them early.'"


It seems to happen across the league; the club would just contact the agent and say they are interested and then the player would ask the club for permission to speak to other clubs...that's how I assume it'd work anyway.

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time - "You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more" Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44308.gif

The are obviously ways round it as I've known players we signed and players we've lost way before.

I don't think it's illegal to contact their agent I don't think which is silly really.

It's definitely not illegal, it's just against the RFL's bylaws I believe. I'm sure Rogues could quote us chapter and verse from said to prove we're in the wrong here.

I started a rumour ages ago about Manu coming to Saints in the hope it would come true.
Would be a great signing.

I don't see why it is illegal/against bylaws etc to approach a player in his last year of his contract; it just seems to be a pointless rule that is regularly 'broken'

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that. [/quote] Another classic: [quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban. Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player. Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666 0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match". Therefore ZERO.[/quote] Give the girl her dummy back.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18821.jpg



Quote: Mugwump "You mean, the site that announced all but the cast iron certainty of Jamie Lyon's signature ... [ion the very same day that Royce Simmons was canned?[/i'"



Yea the same site that broke the news about Simmons.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



If a player is in contract negotiations, then whilst he can't sign for another club, is there anything to stop him checking?

I would imagine it goes Hull offer Manu a contract, his agents goes , hmmm I can probably get better for you (ME) elsewhere. They turn down the offer. At this point the club can
1. enforce anti-tampering
2. offer a better deal.
3. Say that's our best deal but you are more than welcome to have a look and see if you can get better

My understanding of the deadline means he cannot sign for another club, so Hull will always get the last say, in that they can offer a contract at the last minute to snatch him back, as he will not have been able to sign anything till after the deadline. But maybe a check on the rules is needed.
