Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2901793, member: 9052"] EPL clubs do require players to undertake medicals, etc. before signing on, but it's all out in the open. The difference with NRL clubs is everything is very secretive and behind closed doors. Media would be having a field if they heard of a player heading to another club for a medical. The whole process is just so much different the only thing I could think of would be the club arranging a medical within the 5 day cooling off period, but the logistics could be very difficult especially with a large proportion of signings happening mid season. Also it would be a horrible look for the game with a player undertaking a medical at one club before they've officially signed and then his future club telling his current club they want him to undergo surgery straight away. That's probably the main thing with EPL typically once a player is signed they start with the new club immediately there isn't an entire season where your prized asset is playing for a different organisation [/QUOTE]
