its a reasonable expectation that two NRL players would be given every chance to make the two centre positions theirs, Platt is officially listed as FB and Kearney would appear to be 1st choice there. So even if the rumour is wrong and they haven't been told, it is still a very strong probability that they are going to have limited chances. If they have been told, then the club is only being fair to them and letting them look for another club if thats what they want to do. Lets face it, we want players that want to play for us.

| It's a bit of a turnaround if Platt has been told this after signing a new 2 year contract with us a mere 3 months ago. Sykes has another 2 years too.
I'm sceptical.

| They have indeed been told..potter said that if players arent putting the effort in then they can go..if they are under contract or not..one player who is currently under contract and not injured isnt gonna play again this year.

| If a player finds another club and leaves of his own accord - no settlement required and salry cap is clear.
Sometimes they find another club on less money, and a deal is done where existing club subsidises or settles the difference - settlement or subsidy counts on cap.
Sometimes its goodnight, Vienna - then all settlement counts on future cap.

| for me I cant see this being true...
As been stated platt only signed a 2 yr deal few months ago and sykes still got two left.
If i had to choose one to keep it would be platt. I think he can make a real good centre once he learns to stay in position in defence. Sykes, well I feel for him as I believe effort is always there but he just makes to many errors both in attack and defence.
There is also the factor that you have to have 8 (i think) home grown players and sykes falls into that of course.
Have to wait and see if this is true but im not sure it is..

Don't have to do no such thing. Platt and Syke will want first team rugby (you would hope so anyway) So they won't want to stay. So they will look for another club and a mutual termination will be agreed. Or they stay and only play when we have an injury crisis.

It doesn't make it easy to read though. Surely if you have trouble spelling you would use spell check right?

| Quote: Roofaldo "Well, the club may have sat down with both players and explained that they're now both way down the pecking order in terms of playing and if they want to look at getting a new club they can.
I'm not sure, but does a mutual termination agreement mean the club won't have to pay the full money owed but rather just the money given as the pay off to the player?'"
As I understand it any money paid to them as a payoff is split over remaining years of their contracts and counts towards it. eg sykes has 2 years left we pay him 20k and take a 10k hit on our salary cap for the next two years. You have to spread the hit over the contract length and cant take it all next year. Adey will probably have definitive answer but Im pretty sure thats correct.
Sykes I can understand but Platt seems a bit strange as Potter only re-signed him at easter.

| Since then tho potter has been getting more and more annoyed with peoples attitude..if someone takes your place in the team you`re meant to fight to get back in, impress the boss, not just sit back, go through the motions and just accept it

| if potter wants to get annoyed with peoples attitude he should look on here a few times a day
anyway, i would definately agree with getting rid of these very average players
for those who say platt could be a super league centre, is this not his 3rd season playing centre, how long does he need

If I remember rightly did you not say to sack them? If we did that we'd have to pay off the full contract and keep counting it on the cap, which I'm pretty sure was what people hit you with. So sacking them isn't an option. Telling them they won't be first choice next season and may want to look elsewhere isn't the same thing.
