Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2566364, member: 2221"] The NRL Salary cap auditor will not register a contract for the next season before completion of round 13 of the current one. That is the NRL rule people are talking about. This essentially means that the incumbent club can make a last ditch offer to a player to keep him until that time. The question is whether the new playing contract can contain special clauses that would prevent a player from changing his mind and specifically nullifies the above. From all sources I know, if such a clause is inserted into a contract, it becomes legally binding, which might be the case here, but there is no legal precedent to confirm or deny this assumption. Regardless, the question is whether a club would want to get into a legal battle for a player that has decided to remain where he is. It would be good if it happened though, as it would probably force the NRL to clean-up their act one way or another, and prevent all this speculation. The big difference between Milford and players which have reneged on their deals, is that they didn't sign for a different club while holding a good offer from their incumbent club. This is not the case with Milford, who by all accounts had a better offer from Canberra than Brisbane, and still committed to the Broncos. Is a backflip still possible? Probably. Will it happen? Not likely. [/QUOTE]
