Clear case of caveat emptor if you ask me.

Some legal eagles in Leigh with egg on face now perhaps?

In League Express "Beaumont told League Express "This Clause was something I was unaware of and Gareth was unaware of.""

LIVING THE DREAM ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPER LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS! ''All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them'':Black Backgrounds/Miss%20Piggy.gif



Quote: John Gilbert Reds "Come on Ste, it is a shrewd move by Marwan. If you were an owner of a club releasing a player of Hocks ability, would you not insert such a clause within the agreement given how promotion and relegation will be played out this season? He didn’t know at the time he was signing for Leigh, he could have been going to any other Super League or top Championship team, so I don’t think he is playing games and running scared of ‘little Leigh’.

Gareth’s legal representatives have obviously overlooked the clause, as have Leigh Centurions whom I imagine would have undertaken the necessary due diligence. It sounds like a bit of a balls up on both parts.'"


The Docs created around 20+ compromise deals in his time in RL, first one yet stipulating a player cant play against them..... running scared... icon_cheers.gif

He probably is. I doubt anyone would want a maniac like Hock on a RL field, never mind playing against their expensively assembled squad. Hock is a time bomb and Koukash did exactly the right thing in getting rid of him. If this clause exists, it's more about protecting his players from violence than not wanting him to beat them. You lot seem to be under the impression that Hock is still a good player? He's had about three flashes of brilliance in his career and nothing in the last 3 years.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



Quote: Tipster Ste "The issue is with the compromise deal nothing to do with Leigh's contract with Gareth and we signed him as a free agent.

Having been involved in such deals they will be littered with numerous clauses and Marwan's certainly playing games. It certainly explains why his only comment on this is 'Gaz wont play' .

and all this as he said he loved Gaz and wanted him to wave farewell to the loyal 2.5k salford faithful... yet wont let him play against them for 18 months....The Doc is running scared from little Leigh...'"

The funny thing is..Hock isn't an issue for Salford anymore..Unfortunately for Salford,they still have Koukash.Once he decides to get his nose out of a game he has no education about and get back to signing cheque's..The better Salford,will become.

I know nothing on training race horses,but I know how to put a bet on...

Wouldn't a clause preventing a person plying his trade be illegal under EU rules regarding restriction of trade ?
Some good money here for a lawyer

But hopefully not the ones who may have missed the clause in the first place? icon_wink.gif

Not as long as Leigh pay him his contract terms with them I would think.

Wether preventing a player playing against his former club because of a clause in his leaving contract is legal strikes me as very odd. You don't sign contracts with former employers these days. Did anyone ever ?

Seems to me this is just hype and tells me Salford expect to lose on April 18.

Think most of their fans think so too. icon_smile.gif

I don't know enough about this story to make an educated statement on it, however I will say that come game day, it will pretty much depend on which Salford turn up, the good Salford or the woefully inept Salford.

Should the poor Salford pitch up at the LSV, then they are there for the taking apart... Hock or no Hock.

Koukash would then probably bail on the club, which would be bad news for them. Where on earth would they find that kind of financial backing again ?

Agree..The clause would have to be in place on the Salford contract he signed.
