Only 100k on the cap isn’t it? Given he’s non quota?

So all about how much of the overall wage budget you feel he’s worth.

There’s also any legal/tribunal costs and maybe even a hefty fee for Leigh if it swings that way. As much as I’d have loved to have seen him in a Hull shirt I can’t help feel Catalans maybe have opened a Iestyn Harris can of worms and we don’t need that.

I can’t believe Beaumont’s not come out swinging yet. Either they’ve been advised they don’t have a leg to stand on or the opposite and their lawyers have told him to keep quiet not to influence any potential action. Why would they agree to a clause in his contract that allows him to join another SL club? Bizarre situation.

Two options that I can think of. 1) There is a standard NRL clause that is badly worded and taken advantage of, or 2) Leigh have simply messed up the contract, probably as a result of back and forth between them and Lam's agent.

I'd say the second option is most likely. But wouldn't completely rule out the first.

Yes of course forgot about that, getting Lam for 100k cap would be amazing, we will also have to compete with more attractive clubs, so say Catlanas offer 200k, we need to offer 250k.

Of course it's not true.

That FC Fandom account is embarrassing. I can't believe anyone thinks he's worth taking notice of.

Not sure he has got a rumour right yet, only gets it right if he repeats what other people are saying.

So he’s effectively committed to a bumper contract extension for one year with the option of a second year entirely in the players favour? They’ve then used that so Hull make him a big offer then Catalans match it and he gets a big pay rise again no risk? Fair play his agent.

Is there talk of it being contested your end or is it accepted that it’s legit?

To be honest, I've no idea. All I've read is that the club are adament that the clause is only valid for NRL clubs, as used by Kai O'Donnell, and that it may go to an independant tribunal. But that is from the reports from Dan Tomlinson and Aaron Bower. Not seen any actual quotes on the matter from Leigh. Both Lams were pretty guarded about it when asked about it in their post match interviews.

Still think he will stay at Leigh.

We still chasing the Fox according to HDM

Thought you meant Addo-Carr for a second!

Not quite sure Addo-Carr has the pace

Tesi Niu is smashing it in Queensland Cup, he would go very well over here

more like the cookie situation where the issue was between club and player. cooke served a ban period where he couldn't play for breach of contract if memory serves me right. Hull can't sign him if he has a contract with leigh

Beaumont has gone quiet since his team have all wanted out, hes realised the one season wonder really was a one season wonder and he dare not stump up the fees again for his players who can get better elsewhere
