Hey mate, i’ve been one of the few who has been staunch as hell, never once have turned to water and have tried to hold everyone’s hand throughout this, telling everyone not to worry, he’ll be here. Never wavered once. Total optimist.

Love your work GNR.

Having read more into the rule it still leaves questions open. It's clear as mud to some degree.

It specifically says...

NRL documentation: Last Right of Negotiation clause

Every player must provide his incumbent Club with a last right of negotiation for a 10-day period from the date of notice that the player has received an offer from a rival Club, and that offer has been submitted to the NRL, that he is prepared to accept. In order to give effect to this clause:

a) the player must provide notice to his incumbent Club that he has an offer that he will accept in 10 days' time (subject to negotiations with his incumbent Club);
b) the Club can then engage in contract negotiations with the player for a period of up to 10 days, or the Club may waive its rights in writing (at which point the player is free to sign with the rival Club);
c) the offer from the rival NRL Club must be an official offer and submitted to the NRL Salary Cap Auditor (the contents of which will remain confidential, but the NRL Salary Cap Auditor can provide verification to the incumbent Club that an official offer has been received). The offer must remain open for acceptance for a minimum of 14 days, and for at least 48 hours beyond the expiry of the 10-day negotiation period with the incumbent Club. There is no requirement for the player to disclose the terms of the offer to his incumbent Club;
d) at the expiry of the 10 days, the player may sign (or reject) the offer from the rival Club.

That part (d) should really to be changed to be at the end of the 10 days the player may sign either the deal with the rival club or an extension with his current club.

Reading between the lines and the info from @Mistymuzzle , hes through the 10 day, just hasnt signed the contract.

It aligns to penriths statements earlier last week. About wanting to bring him in and chat.

It also aligns with richo's confidence

I think you may be right. I reckon today was the day he told his teammates he's leaving, the last day of the cooling-off period. I predict his signature to be announced tomorrow or Monday. Or not.

The 10 days is a brand new rule this off season

In the old days, ie last season. Agreed to terms was as good as signed just giving the club / player time to prepare for the official announcement.
Now agreed to terms is; I have a nice day juicy carrot in my pocket I’m going to see how much my current club loves me and oh. I don’t have to follow through with that carrot so I can use it to dangle at another club once my current club doesn’t agree to an extension. In the long run someone will announce my signing.

This new ‘cooling off period’ sounds like a croc of shite! So there saying he can just renig on the deal? I can live with only his current club can try to get him back. But not he has just decided against it? That’s bullshit! It’s worse than the old ‘cooling off period’. Once he’s agreed to the new club, he should only be able to resign with his old club during that ten days. If they can’t agree to terms than he has to go to the new club.

Teddy23 posted some mail in the other thread.

What's plan B if Luai stays with Penrith?

I still think we need an experienced half from 2025 on.

FYI plan B sucks. Yet Benji Committed our cap money to it.

Sezer is our "experienced half", really a 5/8.
Sullivan/Fainu are our halves unless you think AD is returning.

AD + Sullivan + Sezer + Fainu = 2mil of cap space. We are NOT signing an experienced half without loosing 1 of those 4. (or we blow our cap space on halves when we still have backline weaknesses... i.e. 14-17th).

2025 we probably don't have Sezer or AD
Luai, Fainu, Sullivan and Galvin

Take a breath mate. It’s not happening.
 
I suppose Benjis thinking;

1) Combines with former premiership winning and current SOO half in Api.

2) Can mentor Fainu.

2) Adds size at in halves.

4) Mongrel and competitiveness

5) A winner

6) A spine of Bula, Fainu , Luai and Api.

7) Might yet bring out the best in former team mate Naden.

8) Creativity in the halves allows for Bateman to concentrate more on the edge.

9) A vote of confidence for the club.

10) Bums on seats.

Jimmy brings.

What makes you so confident?

Is there a reason not to be? No one has a clue how this 10 day thing works, if it’s even happening, what stage it’s at, or what clubs even have the ability to still offer him a deal. And I’m supposed to be panicked?

Sezer has been a halfback for a decade. Took Canberra to a GF as one

4. He has signed and current discussions are regarding when he comes...

Alright then.
With us at 30 out of 30 squad numbers; who is going to get the tap to make room for Luai?
Also has to be an offical offer that he accepts terms to in order to kick start the 10 day cooling off period.
If it was already elapsed as you say. Why has our original 4.5mil 4 year deal jumped out to 6mil 5 year deal?
There was no talk about 5 years being a requirement weeks ago until new was circulating the past few days that the Bulldogs were going to go to 5years….
