Coincidence ??

[Tiger_Watto]

Raiders have a Q Cup team.

Compassion is still keeping him under contract and allowing him to be based out of Qld with his father while playing Q Cup.

Raiders used to have Souths Logan Magpies as a feeder, until recent rule changes meant Canberra needed to field a side in NSW Cup. Contractually Raiders players cannot play for Souths Logan as it stands.

It sounds like that NSWRL Ruling will be abolished next year. (Absolutely rediculous rule) Once this happens, Canberra will more than likely buy Souths Logan and base players back there next year…

Look for a host of clubs to make this switch once ratified by the ARLC!

When care in ongoing its not as simple as that CQ. Milfords dad will require substantial assistance for possibly the rest of his shortened life.

There is possibly only another 3 weeks left in Raiders season, not much to wait out.

I actually hope we will see the return of a genuine reserve grade.

They can play guys for Souths Logan in their depth chart who they do not intend to use in the NRL

Two would be my guess

Exactly, some illnesses can take from Months to years to finally put your lights out, he shouldn't be punished for it, he would still need to work and make a living, in this instance being player.
Apparently he will sit out next year, so what does that tell you? he wants to be by his side closer to home. Sitting out the year is no big deal for him, he is still young. At the end of the day Raiders don't own him, and would be his own financial loss if he was to sit out the year.

With Milford still being under contract in the top 25 for Raiders, it would be interesting to see if they could, maybe they might need to sign a statement barring him from a recall?

It may be a coincidence, it may not. But i think the best way to solve the problem is to force the club signing the contracted player to pay a 25% transfer fee per year that is included in their cap.

Example, if Barba is getting $400k at the dogs, the Broncos have to pay the dogs $100K per year to secure the release. That transfer fee is then included on top of the contract they have agreed to with Barba.

At least in this case there is a reward for the club that is losing a player they have developed. They also need compensation for the fact they have not been able to plan their recruitment around losing a player they thought was signed for another 2 years.

If players don't want to get stuck at a club away from home they shouldn't take the money and sign long term deals. I feel sorry for their situation but the club needs to be considered as well.

The Warriors are reportedly being charged a $200k transfer fee to get Sam Tomkins. The same should apply to NRL too. If clubs want to poach players before their contract has expired, a fee must be in order.

Call me old fashioned, but I think the modern day players should harden up.

They want to be paid like adults and treated like children.

If any of them have a compelling desire to be with their family, then let them. They are free to leave their club to be with their family - and not get paid. But that's the point isn't it, they are not prepared to forgo the coin.

As the old saying goes, they want the penny and the bun.

They love their family, of course, but only to the extent that someone else is prepared to continue to pay them.

No-one is forcing them to stay at their club, and if there family need them so much, then go - no-one will blame them.

Considering both senarios have more than likely been created by their Managers, its just lucky for the Qld Based Franchises in some way…

I know you very rarely see this happening in reverse, but seriously, why wouldn't you want to come home to Queensland?

C'mon that's harsh mate NSW "women" get their boyfriends to shave their top lips

Canberra can tell Milford they'll release him to play for the Titans but not the Broncos. See if he is genuinely interested in moving back to SEQ or if he just wants to play for the Broncos. Canterbury can do the same for Barba. If it really is family reasons for these two then they should have no issue playing for the Titans (who I am sure would love both of them on their books).

Alternatively they can arrange a player swap. It seems contracts these days are a statement of "I'll stay here for x years or until I get a better offer, which ever is shorter."
