[Official] - Milford signs with Broncos

The clause they are speaking of is probably the cooling off period which states round thirteen which means it is already a legally binding contract regardless of whether the nrl registers it. Sticky is also on the record stating they are not trying to convince him to stay as per the agreement. So yes it isn't registered with the nrl yet but if the broncos want they could take him to court where real world contract law prevails

There is no such clause in existence mate, its a blanket rule covering EVERY player :laugh:

Yes, you've said that 100 times. We have also said that it is possible that Milford's contract had a specific addition that waived his right to exercise that clause. And if it is not legal to do so, they would have put something in there that had severe penalties should he back out of his Broncos contract.

Surely the Broncos & his manager wouldn't have just said that they put a clause in there (or struck out a clause), but were just lying and hoping Milford would never try to exercise his rights. That would be downright deceitful! What sort of team would do that?!?!?
 
:lalala:

Would Gee have come out sounding nervous against the round 13 rule otherwise, would the Raiders still be trying to keep him? They said they had the clause removed none of the other stuff, it was BS to try and keep the faithful happy

You're gonna be one sad puppy come round 13. Should we put you on suicide watch alongside GE?

Raiders fans accepted he was gone ages ago mate, Gee's talk has given very faint hope though. I'm just amazed there are still some people buying into the round 13 lies.
 
I still wonder if Gee has been quoted out of context, or was prompted. ie, journalist mentions the McCrone comments, that maybe the Raiders are putting the pressure on Milford to change his mind and "how would you respond to that".
 
I love Canberra. It's always the 1st of April there and they don't know it. Or as Mark Twain wrote (about Canberra):

"April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four."

Sonny Bill Williams had a 5 year registered contract with the Bulldogs until the night of 27 July 2008.

I think that is the context of Gee's comment that "anything can happen".
 
From the NRL webpage:

"The current ‘anti-tampering’ guidelines state that the NRL will not register a player’s contract with a new club until after Round Thirteen in the final year of that player’s existing contract with his current club. The only exception to this is where the existing club agrees that the new contract should be registered."

The suggestion that the Broncos and Milford "contracted out" of the Round 13 deadline is a bit of a furphy, IMO.

It's up to the NRL to decide whether or not to register the contract. The Broncos can't make the NRL register a contract.

The only thing the Broncos and Milford could have done, IMO, was include some representations in the contract to each other that the contract was immediately binding notwithstanding registration couldn't be effected until Round 13.

The fact the Raiders have presumably withheld consent is probably an indication of their intentions. They are still holding a flame.

The Warriors gave consent in 2011 to the Roosters registering Maloney's contract for 2013 before the anti-tampering deadline.
 
Perhaps Milford only eventually gave in to playing for Canberra in 2014 if the Raiders did, in fact, give permission for the new (Broncos) contract to be registered. So why would there be reports of Canberra offering him one billion dollars? Genius Stuart said from the start that he hoped Brisbane would have to carry whatever Canberra's offer under the salary cap - maybe he's leaking the BS in the hope that Brisbane up their offer. Further given credence by a 'source' that said that the Broncos would "just offer $50k more", which sounds like more leaked false-information.

Yes. I'm sure I have said this somewhere before, or perhaps just thoguht it... thats probably more likely, anyway.

It was very odd. Everyday there was more and more stuff from milfords camp that he wasnt going to return etc etc and then all of a sudden it stopped and he released a statement saying he would give his all for 2014 to the raiders.

Maybe (and this is just speculation) they raiders agreed to give permission for the contract to be registered in return for milford showing up and giving his all. So milford goes back, knowing he wont be pressured to stay and his parents go for the year so he will feel comfortable.

So if this is the case why are these rumours around that they are trying to make him backflip? because the raiders won't hose them down because they don't want the outcry from the fans if they think they arent doing everything possible to keep him.

Would fit into that weird interview that stuart gave where he repeatedly said they arent pressuring him and are "living up to their side of the bargain"
 
If permission had been given for his contract to be registered the contract would have been registered straight away.

Not if that wasn't the agreement. By that I mean perhaps the contract has been registered but neither party is announcing it as the raiders want to appease their fans by making it look like they are trying to keep him
 
You're looking way too deep into it, if Raiders fans came up with this you'd be having a field day bagging em out :laugh:
