Quote: robinrovers10 "Although excellent news, surely this is worthless should we get relegated? I think the RFL needs to alter the void contract situation for relegated clubs. You could realistically spend lots of money and time developing a player, only for him to become a free agent due to relegation.
I would rather it be a situation where if relegated, you still have the players contracted, but the release clause is in the clubs favour, so the club can void who`s contract they want. Thus clearing all the high earners to soften the blow.'"
Very harsh from a player's perspective though. The lads have bills to pay, same as anybody, and they already have more restraints placed on them than most employees.
The parachute payment they brought in last year, and contracted wage adjustments would be more balanced that just cancelling contracts on both sides, IMO.
