It is very unusual in the NRL, it’s a team sport, you don’t usually see players contractually separating themselves from poor results of the team to then use as an excuse to leave.

Paul Crawley calls the Haas contract standoff "ugly" and says he has a "mind-blowingly selfish attitude."
All round top bloke Peter Vlandy's says the Broncos are the good guys, and wants other clubs to take their lead:
All round top bloke Peter Vlandy's says the Broncos are the good guys, and wants other clubs to take their lead:
“A contract is a contract. If either party hasn’t breached any condition of a contract it is valid. It is a legal binding document. Naturally you can have behind-the-scenes talks, but you don’t play it out in the media. The professional thing to do is if either party is unhappy discuss it. But at the end of the day you’ve signed a contract and they should honour the agreement. That is what fans look for. I have always looked to represent the fans, and the fans would want the contract honoured.”

This is the stupid part about players arguments that “it’s a business”, you don’t operate like this in business and if you do you won’t be around long.

I'm still laughing at this so much. The way he sounds like he's asking a question when he says "we cut no corners?" Another Will Ferrell character-like trait. Stay classy, San Diego?

Whatever happens, no release. Haas is far from the first to pull this stunt but I hope he's the last. Matterson did the same thing at the Tigers, Aloai even posted on Insta saying he won't go back to the club, plenty of examples until they got a release.
Players and more significantly player managers, need to be made to honour contracts. Under no circumstance should he be with another team before 2025.

Other sports have things in place for shit like this so if a player wants out. Football has transfers and american sports has trades. Why the NRL has never implemented either is beyond me.

He is either a Wests Tiger or he is mowing the lawns at Leichhardt or Campbelltown or painting the change rooms at Concord — as long as he fulfils his contract,” Hagipantelis said.
He got a release a few days later but he was posting shit like this while still under contract.
Jason Saab same thing, asked to be released from the last 2 years citing the drive to training was too far lol https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ze...sing-dragons-star-requests-release-55753/amp/
Matterson same shit, from memory he refused to even go to training until he got a release https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/10/31...rson-released-and-matulino-medically-retired/
Every time the players won and moved on for a better deal.
It has to stop and only the NRL can make that happen because clubs don't care about what's right and will always agitate for a release if there's any chance it's possible.

Well they talked about putting the Matterson rule in place, which would prevent a player earning more money than they had already signed for.
That would stop players moving solely for money.

Bull moved last year for more money at Manly so it wouldn't seem so

if this is the case, how about upgrading his deal by 1 dollarydoo a year, they can get their money that way?

I don't think the club would stand in the way if they wouldn't mind to get them off their books and the players put forward a more compelling case than they want to leave for more money. I would say Ethan ticked both boxes. For some reason Kevvie wasn't picking him, he'd just finished his degree and a move to Sydney made sense for him for his professional career apart from football. He also played out the season. There didn't seem to be any argument there.
If the club needs the money and the player can get more elsewhere that makes everyone happy. Payne's situation is very different. He's making a mockery of the contract process. The club is saying they need him, and they've already mutually agreed on his pay. Payne is saying he won't abide by his contract. Payne is the one and only motherfucker in this story.

pretty sure they never did.
like everything the NRL do, they talked tough ... then let it fade into the background never to be mentioned again

I don't really care why he moved I was simply using Bull's move as an example of whether the Matterson rule had been implemented or not, which was what I was responding to.
