NRL Player Movements and Rumours 2014

THE NRL’s contracting system is already a mess and it is about to get even uglier.

The NRL player market is now officially a free-for-all as the November 1 rule does not exist.


Player-agents and clubs were told in a meeting late last month that they can sign any player at any time to a new contract because the November 1 rule is a myth.


It will likely see clubs out of the finals make formal offers for stars playing in the finals this month.


Brisbane’s off-contract stars Ben Hunt, Sam Thaiday and Josh McGuire can now receive formal offers from rivals as can North Queensland’s Jason Taumalolo.


Now the November 1 rule is gone, an NRL star could sign a five-year deal one day and then another five-year deal with a rival club the day after.


Previously, NRL clubs were told not to make contact with a player until that player is in the final year of his contract starting November 1.


Paul Massey, head of the NRL’s Accredited Player Agents Scheme, told an agents conference last month that the rule did not exist.


While some managers and clubs were already flaunting the rule, they can now it do it without fear of repercussion.

Wow. For how long have we been saying this on here only for journos to continue perpetuating the myth?

These journos are a slow bunch, aren't they?
 
Yeah, welcome to 2010 fuckwits! Seriously, the sports journos in OZ are a disgrace!

Manly are fooked anyway. I seriously hate how they're basing their pissed-off-ness on Manly, saying they "took unders to stay together" and now they're being forced out. They didn't take unders, they had their deals back-ended. Did they think the salary cap would literally double by the time they were in the 3rd or 4th years of their contracts? It's Manly's fault that they're going to lose more than just Glenn Stewart, but it's not their fault that the players have to leave if they want big money. Maths says so.

I think Mason's a bit of a tool, but I saw this on Matty Johns last night and it is funny. Looking forward to the whole thing.

I used to think the same but he seems like a good bloke from everything I've seen in the last year or so.
 
Moylan re-signed for 3 years.

Good move from Panthers, this kid is going to be huge.

Or worse the NRL kept this myth alive for so long.

How did they do that?

The information has been on their site for years. They published it after they conducted a seminar in 2010, exactly for the purpose of informing the clubs on this matter.
I doubt any minimally professional club, agent or organization outside of the stupid journos, didn't know about it.

I'm sure they had the information available but they didn't exactly go to the media and clear it up either despite all the media drama surrounding it(and I blame the media for making something out of nothing, not the NRL), all I'm saying is it could have been better handled, I'm not calling for heads to roll here mate.

Parra have signed Danny Wicks. (Trafficking ban ends Sept 20)

EL OH EL
 
Parra are putting together a decent squad for next season (Assuming Watmough finds his way there for 2015)

They really need a better Five-Eighth though, no offence to Norman, but I don't think they can win a premiership with him there.

1. Jarryd Hayne
2. Semi Radradra
3. Beau Champion
4. William Hopoate
5. Ken Sio
6. ___________
7. Chris Sandow
8. Tim Mannah
9. Nathan Peats
10. Junior Paulo
11. Anthony Watmough
12. Tepi Moeroa
13. Kenny Edwards

14. Isaac De Gois
15. Pauli Pauli
16. Manu Ma'u
17. Joseph Paulo
 
Sio is off to ESL. Shouldn't be too hard to replace though.

Not sure what to make of their spine. Think they need a different type of 6. Hayne is immense and Sandow streaky but Norman doesn't offer the stability I think you need to offset the other two. Think they need a Maloney type player in there.
 
I don't see the Eels star signing Corey Norman getting dropped anytime soon
