A couple of big name signings by others (although to be honest I’m not impressed by Lolohea) and our recruitment is being called useless, before we even split the 2018 league.
I’m not for one second saying our 2019 recruitment is fantastic nor am I saying it is useless as we just don’t know.
We have a rumours thread as a sticky, I’m somewhat confused as to why we even have this thread.'"
The only 'top' NRL player that is coming to SL next year is Austin, and even he has been out of favour this season even if he did have a great game last week.

| Quote: MattyB "Then do what other clubs have done in the past, stick him on the transfer list for a fee.
Players have always breached contracts (some go back to Aus due to homesickness), some bet against their own clubs, some get banned for failing drug tests. Massive can of worms (in all sports) if clubs start suing players, is there a precedent for this?'"
I guess this is the way Cas can recoup the outlay. Putting a player on the transfer list who can’t play due to a WADA suspension is perhaps one of the more ridiculous ideas I’ve heard. Who on earth would pay to sign a player who is banned?!
It’s no can of worms at all. Suing an employee for a breach of contract that results in a financial loss happens on a daily basis in ETs around the country. It’s no different in sport. Cas sued Solomona for BoC. Chelsea successfully sued Adrian Mutu for a BoC almost identical to the one committed by Hardaker (cocaine use leading to a WADA ban). It’s just pretty simple really - employees are liable for any financial loss suffered by their employer due to a BoC.

Not sure if someone else has been posting bad news about him, but it’s the first time I’ve posted on here apart from when he initially signed. Hardly “relentless”!

You posted about him being out in Scarborough just after he signed didn’t you?
I’m not saying you’re not right and that these things aren’t happening but you do seem a tad desperate for him to balls this up. I’d guess he probably will but as and when that does happen, don’t get overly excited! It’s not worth changing your underpants for ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

I don’t remember posting about him going out in Scarborough.
I don’t want him to balls up for two reasons:
1. If Cas do indeed persue him for money, we need him to be earning to have a good chance of actually seeing the cash.
2. On a personal level, he’s a nice enough guy. I’ve met him a good number of times both when he was at Leeds and Cas, and he always came across as polite, generous and down-to-earth. Everything I hear about him from others, including those who have played and worked with him, suggests the same. A nice lad, but with a self-destruct button he can’t help pressing (not helped by the influence of his idiotic so-called mates). If he can develop the ability to make good choices (the first of which would be to walk away from those who are a negative influence) life could turn out well for him. If he can’t, I’m afraid he’s got more to worry about than whether he can play RL for the next few years.

2553.gif I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league

| Slightly different scenario as he was already under contract, but Wigan allegedly paid Hock during his ban. Perhaps they will already be paying ZH some sort of retainer?
