can't argue with that tho' BW has beefed up a bit and seemed to have improved his lay-off game plus his discipline.He was close to joining the Catalans this season and probably would have done if TR had been in place a bit earlier IMO.

Chris from yesterdays stats is expected to have made over 200m yesterday (he had made up to 160m up to half time) his tackle count had not been plotted as yet.

Sorry to talk business but when he goes i really hope the club gets a fair wad for him.

Depends, IF he goes whilst in contract yes they can ask for a fee when his contract expires he is a free agent.

He signed a contract halfway through last season didn't he?

3 year one if I remember correctly, but if there is a SL clause (and TBH if I were his agent then I would have one in) there is the problem

Looking at it from a club point of veiw they would be daft to allow such a clause,it makes no sense.Fetherstone have financed ther youth structures for years to come with the sale of ther prize assets

I undertand that but to keep a player from the 'grasp' of other clubs in their league (most Ch 1 contracts used to have a Championship 'get out' clause too) it's a clause that is usefull especially if you want any chance of keeping your player when contract negotiation time comes around, and TBH Chris' contract was negotiated some months before it came to an end/start so maybe there isn't one in there, but again thinking of the players benefit if I was an agent i'd want either a free or small fee clause.
I remember an ex-coach saying to me that players who he would have liked in his squad but couldn't afford who went to a lower division club he advised to get the get out clause put in their contract, as this was an obvious way he could sign them if the money situation changed at his club and he found he was able to afford them later in the season, devious beggars these coaches

But if a contract is going to run out and you get nothing you are better off with a release clause where you get x amount of money if a bid is made.

Would imagine he is well over 200m then as he made that break in the 2nd half of about 30 - 40m's!!

The guy is just awesome I can't recall him ever having a bad game! as much as i'd hate him leaving Leigh I really hope he has a crack at SL

Unless i'm miss understanding you,it doesn't work like that.
Its the player who has the get out clause then he can walk when ever he wants to with or without a fee.
If there is no clause and another club comes in for him its up to the club whether they sell or not.It also allows them to negotiate a better price for him.

The club can ask if there is a get out clause for a sub-clause (?) requesting a minimum fee or 'other' recompense to be given e.g. X number of home friendlies with the SL club, or that the player remain with the 'selling' club until end of season, long term loan of other players etc..
