Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3457714, member: 1769"] the CM reporting that Mariner has been formally interviewed by the integrity unit about the Dolphins approach/release request. he reportedly stood to earn an extra $1.2 million if he signed a long term deal with the Phins. Mariner's manager is pleading innocent .. so are the Phins (before the revert to their standard defence that no other team has to sign 34 players plus train and trials in one year) [B]Dixon McIver (Mariner's manager) says:[/B] “The NRL has made contact with us, yes,” McIver said. “From my end it’s a pretty self-explanatory thing. “There’s a difference between enticing a player (to break his contract) and some discussions that have transpired. “We’ve left it to the Broncos and the NRL to sort it out and they will come up with deliberations in due course.” [B]Terry Reader's cut and copy response:[/B] “I’m very confident,” he said. “We haven’t gone about breaking any rules or doing anything we’re not meant to. “Managers speak to clubs every day and we’re no different. “Every club wants to sign quality players and so do we. If they are available and interested we want to talk to them. “We’ve dealt with unusual circumstances. Not many clubs have to sign 34 players in one year, plus train-and-trial players, and put academies together. “We have said from the start we will be patient and wait for the right player.” [/QUOTE]
