Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2680196, member: 2221"] In other countries, every time a code agreement of this type (imposing restrictions on contracts, etc) has been challenged in court, the code lost. The UEFA and FIFA have had some pretty big nosebleeds for example. My understanding is that the NRL homologates the originally signed contract at the end of round 13, which makes it a valid lawful contract, not a mere expression of interest. As such, it is subject to the relevant state/federal law. I don't know the intricacies and what clauses are inserted in these contracts, but I can imagine they've done their best to protect the NRL, but I'm curious how it would play out in court, especially if instead of a player back-flipping, a club decided he no longer wanted the player. There was a case a while ago between Dayne Weston and the Storm if memory serves me right, but I don't think this whole round 13 thing was involved. [/QUOTE]
