No, what I meant is if the NRL still refuses to register the contract for whatever reason after the 1st of November.
I don't think any court would enforce the contract, which would essentially prevent the player from playing anywhere.

I can't see the NRL itself refusing to register it.

They made a mare of that team too! Paul Aiton over Segeyaro!? (amongst many others over looked)

Yeah Segeyaro is out due to injury. Damn shame too.
It's in the NRL rules that they won't register a new contract until round 13, so they can't register it before hand

No, I mean when the time comes. If there's a signed contract already, unless both parties agree so, it can't be destroyed. So therefore it's just a matter of waiting for the time when it will be registered. And the NRL won't refuse to register it unless there's extenuating circumstances on the player's part (eg, ferguson).
Problem then comes if they've already registered an extension to the existing club which can be done at anytime. Threats of court action would obviously happen like with Papa and Jeremy Smith but none have made it that far be interesting to see what happens if it did. There were calls last year after the Papa thing for the round 13 rule to be scrapped due to managers taking advantage of it to hold clubs to ransom and the mess it can cause.
I've emailed the NRL for clarification on the round 13 rule, if they reply I'll post it (even if I'm proven wrong)

If there are conflicting contracts them the earlier dated one would likely be registered.
But the later one would've already been registered since they can register it immediately rather than having to wait till round 13, that's where court might come into it. It's a messy situation and hasn't been tested yet despite threats to do so.

I get it, so you're saying that the Broncos may well have a signed contract for Milford for 2015, but if the Raiders convince him to extend they can submit that contract before November 1st to beat the Broncos to the punch. I get it now. I wouldn't put it past Ricky but that would be some pretty low shit.

If it got tested in court, (that rule where the players existing club has the right to come back with an offer before round 13 of the final year of his contract (regardless if he had signed a contract with a rival club)), would run into problems. That is because the player in question has signed a legally binding contract (with the rival).

I don't post much ... and certainly not a troll ... thought long and hard about posting this.
Tony was in conversation with a mate of mine who had a lot to do with his early development (and not just around football) ... the subject of the Broncs came up briefly and ( the even briefer) response was 'probably not until 2015' ... then the subject changed.
Just sayin' ...
