Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3372873, member: 8423"] Which would be great to see Donuts come out and shut it down. In fact, it doesn't even to be anything substantial. Something like: "We have been disappointed to hear the innuendo in the media about our contracted player. We are investigating these rumours as in the NRL era, you are not allowed to try and get a player to instigate a release from a contract and it is disappointing to hear speculation of this in the media. We would expect those who are supposed to be influential in speaking about these things to do so professionally and with an understanding of the reality of the situation being spoken about and if they are not doing so, this becomes a grounds for libel which we certainly hope we never have to pursue. Any player who is found directly responsible for this will not be released and will not be playing first grade for the remainder of their contracted period with us elsewhere. At the same time, if another club is trying to get in the ear of one of our players, and we are not saying this is the case here, we would obviously pursue this matter legally and take it up with the NRL as this would be a clear breach of contract law and any party from another club or being used by another club could become open to litigation. Of course, all that said, we have acted in good faith with all of our players, even upgrading some as a show of good will and we hope that this is not forgotten in media reports around the club. As Ben mentioned the other day, we are happy with what we have at the club and will not be going to market. Any further comments in the media or elsewhere encouraging any players to break contract will be met with potential legal action which of course we hope we never have to pursue." [/QUOTE]
