How do we stop that?
Remember Rushton is not even a 1st Teamer - His value is minimal over there, if he stayed here and played 2/3 seasons it's likely his value would be far greater ala Bateman/Williams etc.
The fact he wants to go means "he wants to go" - and there's not much anyone can do to stop that other than provide them with the best environment & structure we can, and pay them the best we can within reason to keep them here - This is were IFL has been very successful, The Youngsters are treats VASTLY better than they were 15 years ago. But it doesn't and never will stop it happening.
How many youngsters in football spend there entire youth careers at lower league clubs or other clubs academy's and then sign for a PL Big club at 16/17/18 - It's a similar scenario - The enticement is there and you can only deal with that the best way we can and I believe we do a pretty good job, unless we decide to stop producing talented youngsters then the problem will go away.
Don't agree, in what way did we give guys "Every Opportunity"???
Saracens were offering ridiculous money for Joel T - Joel T himself wanted to go - Very difficult to stop - We didn't kick him out the door, we tried to keep him but it was too much from a Sport/club awash with money
The NRL stuff
As I say, how would we have got Sam T, George, Bateman (And even Farrell who has stayed) to sign the original contracts which kept them at the club for 2/3 years before they left if we didn't build these clauses in?
In what way would not building the clauses in have benefitted Wigan? They would either have gone earlier, or only signed 2/3 year deals and gone anyway?
The power is with the players these days, and overall it's the right thing, we just have to deal with it the best we can
