Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2305070, member: 1853"] Thing is AFL is getting MORE promotion from the Issy signing by Qld not selecting him than if we do select him. Issy still has an NRL contract and is therefore entitled to play Origin Issy is the best man for the job Not selecting him doesn't really punish Issy - it punishes Qld more than it does him as an individual as we won't have the best possible team on the field. Not selecting him because he has signed with AFL is plain and simple discrimination All this will do is force players in future years not to make any annoucement before Origin is done, thereby dragging on speculation etc (or putting them in a situation where they are basically lying over having already signed a contract elsewhere or have intent to do so). Rugby League was established by players being "disloyal" to Rugby Union and defecting for money, without that the whole sport wouldn't even exist - so it is just ridiculous for RL administrators/players/supporters crying "disloyalty" [/QUOTE]
