I don't know why anyone is worried. "If he comes".

You compel him to come, and if he doesn't, you block him from playing for Parramatta and you do not pay his wages until he turns up to training every day and gives his best output.

And if he refuses to do that, you give him warnings and further suspend him without pay.

You apply to NRL for cap compensation for a non-compliant player and it costs you no money.

This is bigger than Tigers - NRL cannot allow a precedent where a player backs out of his contract because something changed at his new club. Of course we can understand that the player expected / hoped to have the same boss as he originally signed up for, but NRL clubs can never guarantee such a thing, especially struggling clubs.

And nobody can fairly say that IP and his advisors did not understand or could not predict that Madge was no guarantee to be the long-term coach.

But imagine if the NRL did permit IP to back out of his deal. It opens a Pandora's Box for any player to attempt to back out of any contract because of "something changing". Sure Head Coach is an obvious thing to be annoyed about, but once you open those floodgates, you provide wiggle room for players to request to leave for any reason "they changed the home ground", "they changed the training days", "they didn't retain my friend who also plays there", "the lady in the tea room isn't the same person" etc. etc.

It's already become worrisome enough with existing signings (i.e. people trying to renege on their deal whilst with their incumbent club), let alone to permit players to pull out of deals they haven't even started. It throws the whole signing process into jeopardy and introduces extreme uncertainty into salary-cap management, because you can no longer sign anyone in advance with any confidence.

And it is not reasonable to say "well you need to become a destination where people do not want to renege" because that will only increase the divide between top and bottom clubs. Bottom clubs need a clear and obvious mechanism to drag themselves back into competitive circles.

Better yet, maybe it will force the nrl into making changes to contract eligibility that is currently allowing players to sign 18months in advance with a club.
That part is a farce.

I believe we should have a massive shot at Suliasi! Offer him fullback money now to move from KFC to us. He has a massive ego and playing on the wing doesn’t suit that. He has already stated he wants to play fullback and waiting for turdesco to leave or die, would be doin his head in. He has all the attributes of a great fullback.
Sneak in there now stroke his ego and steal him while we can, Timmy make him an offer he can’t refuse…
