Quote: KingRoss11 "It’s come from the horses mouth that his contract clause is at the end of the first season, you seriously think wigan would spend months negotiating and pay him 250,000 a y year just to let him walk before he’s put on the shirt? If he leaves before he’s played whoever wants him will have to pay a big fee as he’s UNDER CONTRACT. It’s not that hard to understand you stick to the small clubs where you could only dream of signing a top class player'"
Does it really, bet you can’t prove it can you? Immediately making it gash.
Bradford spent years perusing that particular avenue against Leeds, remind us all how that turned out.
Let’s get one thing straight, contracts are part of a remuneration package and as such fall under employment laws. Wigan and the RFL can huff and puff all they want but they can’t make a person work for a company they don’t want to work for, end of. Any attempts to punish said individual would be considered as discriminatory and it would be Wigan and the RFL in the dock not Hastings.
The only thing Wigan would be legally entitled to would be any upfront costs, wage advances that kind of thing.
But hey you carry on believing that Wigan’s word is the law and see where it gets you.
