I wasn't saying it doesn't happen. Every case of players leaving during contract is different - length of time they've been there, whether a fee was paid, the clubs involved etc, so I don't think it's relevant bringing up different examples of where players have broken contract to argue against my point.

I only mentioned Sandow and Solomona as they were mentioned earlier in the thread by anther poster.

I don't think Leeds payed a fee for Segeyaro, and he was on a 2 year deal, and Leeds ultimately reached a settlement to let him go - cash had to change hands, negotiated based on what Leeds would be losing out on.

BMM is on a 3 yr deal, and I'd wager he's on more that Segeyaro was on, and, most importantly, we paid 175k for him.

I said "It would be too messy/expensive to prize him away from us in particular". I still stand by that. Segeyaro leaving Leeds has nothing to do with BMM. They're completely different situations.

You'd think so but it's not made David Silva or Kun Aguero ever want to leave Manchester City and go back to Spain despite offers every single transfer window.

Earning tens of millions of pounds a year can do that...

Ah but Aus, well Sydney has Harrys pies! Awesome, got to love the Tiger deal!

No comparison whatsoever. Big name soccer players are leaving sun and beaches to earn millions in one of the best domestic leagues in the world. NRL players are leaving sun and beaches to play in the cold and rain in a sub-standard competition in sub-standard stadiums. (Castleford, Wakefield).

Would Christiano Ronaldo move to Stockport County and stick around for 3 years? No, because even if the money was equal to what he's on, the club and the league is beneath him.

I thought NRL players came to the UK to earn more £ than they would in the NRL and to get 1st team action.

Some may. Either way, the comp is still beneath even the average NRL player. look at Hiku, fair to middling sort of player in the NRL. Comes to Warrington and looks like Mal Meninga.

No no no no no

Hiku looked like a bright spot in a dour team and gave something to cheer us up, but to compare him to Meninga .. ??

This^^^

He was a good player and performed well but unlikely he would have stood out in the 2011/12 team, meninga would have...... Tho I don't think is was ment as a direct comparison could be substituted with lyons and others of that quality

I cannot see he changing so quickly, given the fact he resisted or wanted to stay at Salford, who forced that sale through.

Bit of an overreaction to one article that doesn't say BMM is looking for a way out, and it says he is happy in super league.
It would Take something Astranomical to entice him away.
Seeing as most NRL clubs are struggling to retain players and are offloading players left right and centre, Doesn't really ring any alarm bells does it

It's not fare to put Blackpool in the same sentence as Rhyl!(even if I did it too)

LOOKS LIKE MAL MENINGA. Not is as good as, not on par, not comparable..... "came to Warrington and LOOKED like Mal" its a simile, not comparing him at all.

Jesus some people... I.E Warrington were that bad we made Leigh look like the Kangaroos.
