So in theory there may be a way over time for the N.R.L to adopt an A.F.L style draft and player trading system. Without any legal issues.What is forgotten was that Terry Hill had already signed a playing contract with Wests prior to the draft and his initial appeal was overturned. He was not allowed to honour his existing contract with Wests and was made to play with Easts. This formed one basis of the appeal in that he already had an existing contract to play and the draft violated his rights under that contact ( his contract with Easts was supposedly at a lower rate).
