Unfortunately, that sound exactly something our club would do.

I would expect the deals would never have been sanctioned by the RFL anyway because of the quota rules making them void.

Understand why you would think that, but can’t see it myself.

It is up to individual clubs to manage their quota, not the RFL......Would guess the RFL would have sanctioned the contracts, and they presumed that you were letting other quota players go.

Would have thought that the players would 'win' any legal battle, especially as it would go above the RFL and straight to legal system employed by the UK, imho!

The dispute would be between the players and Cas. It has nothing to do with Wakey.

i know but if we are forced to hold these contracts we need to get someone off quota and mcgoldrick to wakey is picking up some steam especially after this.

Have I missed the club announcement that we've signed Tony Martin (or indeed anyone else not already playing at the club)?

I know Goldie is one of Robbo's and I have a good idea of the salary he is being paid. There is no way Wakey would pay him that. Plus he also has 2 years left on his contract which I am sure he will want to have honoured,just like Drew and Martin.

If all this is true I would imagine Cas would loan out or sell on Martin and still continue to pay a portion of his wage in the same way they did with Korki.

He signed a two year deal about three weeks ago and its in the same drawer as a couple of other signed contracts that are waiting to be announced at the right time.

So.... He has signed for Cas', but now with this up in the air, he will be looking for a new (old?) potential employer. Come on tb - you're smarter than that!
