Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3456925, member: 2290"] Clubs do it, sure but none have been so open or aggressive about it. The only recent example you could point to for us was Milford 8 years ago. James Roberts was probably another one not to unlike the Karl situation. Walsh and Warriors seemed to have been played out quite courteously from all accounts and Warriors seemed happy with the deal so I don’t think that counts. There’s a level of professional courtesy involved when 2 clubs discuss an early release rather than 1 club offering a bigger deal to a contracted player and their manager pushing for a release after the club denies it. Yes I will still be skeptical if the NRL clears the Dolphins because Wayne and players have spoken openly about the Dolphins flaunting the rules for months. But because it’s in the NRLs best interest to pretend it’s not happening and the comp has zero integrity left anyway, the outcome of any NRL investigation into the Dolphins tampering has a foregone conclusion. On a side note, just because the NRL said nothing fishy happened with Oloapu’s contract that doesn’t mean I don’t think the club is completely innocent in the way he was handled. [/QUOTE]
