Does anyone really want our club paying 300-350k for him to play somewhere else? I thought we weren’t going to do that anymore.

We don't have to pay anything if McQueen asks for a release..

Wow, if true, IC has his finger on the pulse like no coach ever before at the WT.

Doubt it personally is true though, McQueen signed for another two years at WT I believe (or was it three) and I don't think Titans would take him back for another 2 years considering his injuries/form have kept him to Reserve Grade all year.

We don’t know his personal situation. Thought he wanted to move back to Sydney.
Maybe he has family back in the GC?
What was his junior club in QLD?
 
Hearing player swap for Leilani Latu who Cleary signed for Penrith in 2014 currently playing Q Cup and can’t get into the pack rotation at the Titans.

If he can get back to his Penrith days it can be a decent signing.

Good swap. Rated him at Penrith.
 
Re signed with Penrith till 2020 in 2017.
Moved to Gold Coast for a deal of the same term.
Chances are even moving to another club (us) panthers will still be partly paying for him for another 2 years.

That old chestnut!!!

Listen up, it's not brain surgery.

If a player requests a release from his contract, a club can refuse his request and continue to pay said player.

If the club grants his request the players contract is null and void ie there is no longer a contract.

Therefore as there is no contract between the club and the player there is no obligation to pay said player any money.

Get it?

There is risk. It doesn’t sound like his able to do enough to get back into the squad.
The question is with both players yet to again play to their potential.
What does the squad need more for next year?
A worker backrower, impact not their strongest suit, defends and can run lines well
Or
A very skilful ball playing prop whom probably isn’t the fittest or toughest going around.
We are not getting a line busting impact player from either.

Your right.
And the player needs to be released from his current contract before he can sign a new one.
So why do clubs still end up paying money for said player even after they have signed a NEW contract?

Someone just doesn't seem to get it, but it's not rocket science :slight_smile:

If club try's to offload the player and the buying club isn't willing to match or exceed the existing contract then the selling club has to pay the difference. Of course subject to the player wanting to go and the NRL registering the agreement.

Ah, but my point not in regards to moving a player on but when a player looks to move on.
Like Adam Blair with us.
If the process that takes place is for the player to approach the club seeking a release and the club granting it thus ends the current contract with the club.
Why should it matter where or how the player is going to the next club?

His current contract is finished.

Why would any club agree to pay any money once they have already closed the contract.

The process contradicts itself.
The player leaving obviously has something lined up or in the Panthers and Sharks case, the clubs obviously have something lined up.
So why does an official release from the current contract need to be granted? Why can’t a contract be transferred to the new club removing the amount from the old clubs cap and adding it onto the new clubs cap?

And why did we pay part of Blair’s salary for 2 years????
