The titans have all the leverage. pay his full price, or you don't get him. it's not like the Titans are actively looking to offload Hayne to free up cap space.

This "wait a few months to screw the Titans out of more cash" story doesn't wash because the two clubs have to come to a settlement anyway. What the Tits lose now, they should pick up later in the deal (if they're half decent negotiators).

If Hayne wants out, and his new club can only afford $500k, and Hayne is happy to play for that, what right does the NRL have to stand in his way?
Hayne has a contract with the Titans, and as long as he plays for the Titans, the Titans must pay him his contracted value
As soon as the Hayne decides to leave the Titans, anything in the Hayne/Titans contract becomes invalid and unenforceable
That is contract law 101 and I refuse to believe any professional organisation could operate outside of that
Then I remembered this is the NRL, and professionalism isn't likely

really all depends on the terms of the licencing agreement that the NRL holds with the clubs.
In a bid to protect the "integrity" of the salary cap, the NRL could have added this requirement to the licencing agreements, that once signed by the clubs, means that they would have no choice but to abide by it.
and for once i can see where the NRL are coming from here. because I don't think any clubs should be allowed to sign a $1million a season player for minimum wage (regardless of what the player agrees to)
for example, and lets take Hayne out of the equation, because i think he is majorly over-rated and overpaid anyway. but lets say for whatever reason, Thurston decides he wants to finish his career on the Gold Coast and receives a release from the Cowboys. should the Gold Coast then be able to pick him up for 100k getting a massive advantage over every other club in the league?
like everything the NRL does i think it is poorly executed, the rules i would have in place for mid contract releases are:
- If a club forces a player out, then they are responsible for any shortfall between their contract and the contract the player has with their new club
- If the player asks for a release then their current club is not responsible for any part of the players contract with their new club, however the new club is unable to sign him for less than X% of their current contract (lets say 75%)

I think that is pretty much already the rules.

That is exactly what he is doing.
Easy, the contracts are paid in monthly installments, if you sign a contract in December you get 2 months pay ( Nov and Dec ) on 31 December.

the first one is ... but the second one is not ... currently even if the player asks for a release their current club still needs to make up any shortfall between the contract values and that shortfall is carried on their cap until the end of their original contract.
no obviously the NRL wouldn't allow a Hayne to sign for the Eels for 100k, i just exaggerated that figure to make a point.

However, if the team were the Roosters, nothing wrong with that sort of deal at all.

Once again, not to be a dick, but that I will believe when I see something official from the NRL.

you don't need something official from the NRL, just look at the evidence
Barba asked for a release paid by us
Kennedy asked for a release paid by us
Blair asked for a release paid by Tigers
Sims asked for a release paid by Knights
i could go on ... however, if you are waiting for the NRL to reveal their own BS rule, you'll be waiting a while, even they aren't that stupid

All of those examples are where a club didn't want the player anymore and gained a benefit with a bit of cap relief, not examples of a player asking for a release and the club being forced to pay an amount they didn't agree to.
I'm with you on this one. I'm pretty sure Barba was told if he could find a deal elsewhere to take it up. That's why the Broncos had to make up the shortfall. They sort of forced him out.
A lot different to Hayne just telling the Titans he doesn't want to be there anymore. And they have to pay him regardless.
