Message: [QUOTE="Mister Wright, post: 3376434, member: 2160"] Why does the draft have to be a rookie draft though? Why can't it be a free agent draft? Clubs have until June 30/Round 14 or whatever you set the deadline as to sign a player. If a player wants out or wants to join a new club they have to negotiate with the club for a trade. If nothing can be worked out by then any player who is unsigned goes into a free agent draft. This can include QCup/NSW Cup players or rookies at clubs that want to try their luck in the draft. Lets use Corey Oates as an example. Let's say the Broncos decide not to re-sign him. They then tell his management they are free to negotiate a trade. The whispers have been the Panthers are interested in him. The Panthers decide to offer Oates a 3 year deal and negotiate a trade with an off contract Panthers player. However if Oates' management can't find a deal for him he goes into the draft and if he doesn't get picked up he can then enter free agency. This way players instantly move to their new club once their trade is organised. None of this signing for the next season garbage and it allows players and teams more flexibility with their roster management. [/QUOTE]
