Lost monies sure for leaving a contract but not actually a pecuniary penalty from the league.
Thank you Tiger_one. I remember those events now that you mention them. Tallis’ case was interesting because he had 2 contracts alive at the same time. In the case of JAC Storm would need to show some compassion and understanding of the players situation.
This "compassion" factor is getting more and more common, both here and in the UK Super League, where players sign a contract, stay a bit, then their individual personal situation changes and they approach their club to leave for this "new" personal reason.
Not good for the fans though.
