Quote: Him "See now you’re just getting carried away.
It’s got nothing to do with forcing someone to work where they don’t want to. It’s got to do with registering him as a player. Hastings or any other player can of course walk away from whatever contract they’ve signed. As others have said it’s unlikely they’ll be sued for any sort of loss from the club. However that club can legitimately hold their registration for the duration of the contract. The NRL have previously said they would honour any registrations lodged with the RFL and vice-versa. That’s why the contracts include NRL release clauses.'"
How would this actually work out.
If they hold onto his registration, would they not have to pay him and if so, would this not impact on their ability to fund a replacement ?
FWIW it would be great if the NRL did the right thing and not "allow" him to play for any NRL clubs, unless of course Hastings comes to some sort of agreement with Wigan, as it's totally wrong for him to sign a contract and not actually play for that club.
Of course, there could be some unique circumstances that none of us are privy to that make his return down under acceptable, who knows ?
