Guess this is moot now. The club has shown some consistency here by refusing his request. Probably a good sign.

I never know how much to trust NRL.com especially on rosters. It has Corey Oates with two years of player options. Has anyone heard this?

If it is and he is on a lowish wage, I am ok with it. It is clear that his down year was the outlier and not the other way around. He is great for the team, they love him, the fans love him and he's been a loyal servant of the club. This is where a player option, while not great, is sort of valid.

Can you have an option in your favour but also take a pay cut?
Years over dollars deal?

I’m sure you would I’m pretty sure player options constitute new contracts so what ever figure you agree upon would be legal. Also even if it didn’t become a new contract you can front end and back end amounts so the sum could be anything legal (not to much and not to little) from my understanding of salary cap rules.

The club has specifically ruled out player options, so I doubt it's right. Your mission, if you accept it, is to fact check NRL.com

Wasn’t that more a BHQ policy than a strict ‘don’t’ handed down to the R&R team.

Donaghy ruled out player options when he first took the job. Why would any club CEO agree to that shit being held over your head? All it means is players you don't want can hold you to ransom.
That said, I guess it's possible the club agreed to a three year contract but Oates was worried he might not be able to hold up his end of the deal so the club said let's see how your body holds up. But that doesn't make any sense to me.

Seems like a potential Roosters thing if you know what I mean.

The main difference with this request to leave, when compared with Haas and the young half.
Haas did it mid season, during a winning streak which could have derailed the season. It was incredibly selfish.
The young half has come out shit talking which is not OK.
A player seeking a release when they're presented an opportunity elsewhere is no different to the average Joe Blow job hunting.

On top of that (the manner and circumstances of which the release was requested), payne was well paid well prior to proving himself (with minimal nrl experience and had just sustained a shoulder injury), and then his pay was increased (beyong his contractual agreement) in good faith. Then being the highest paid player in the club he requested another 200K a year, and then threw his toys out of the cott when he was told we would speak at the end of the season.
Palasia has previously taken unders to stay at the Broncos, delayed his request until the end of the season and the release was well discussed with the club behind closed doors before it was reported. Due to kevie's bench use, He is also only getting about 15 minutes of game time so I can't blame him from wanting some more opportunities.
