Tigers and Storm Player Loan Swap

Is that a loophole or is Hooper an idiot?

It could really be either knowing the NRL and Hooper.

Surely the rule states you must have X number of players signed by X Date and that the club doesn't drop below that number of contracted players from that date onwards...

It makes sense to me. Seems like a decent loophole. I’m all in for it if it benefits us - about time we started doing the dodgy ‘loopholes’ like all the big clubs do

I have read a lot of this thread with its positives and negatives...and in my opinion I think the player swap has merit and would be great for rugby league...
After reading and hearing over the years about rorts,brown bags,tpas etc...Im sure the NRL and the administators could come up with a positive solution to make this swap happen for the greater of rugby league itself and show that their not afraid of taking on a hard task..

You'd think that would be the logical solution, but unfortunately the NRL seem to see well intention-ed proposals, if outside the norm, or containing anything that takes a little extra thought and rationalisation, as an opportunity to draw a hard line and 'set an example'. Probably because they're hopeless at uncovering big fish that actually count, and need these small opportunities to have people believe they're a professional organisation that can't be 'outwitted' by anybody.

Wish this would just get sorted out, we've either had stuff like this just drag on or *bang* here's Leuilia.

We don't want another Michell saga.

I didnt even want the first one especially at the price which was mentioned
 
If the Storm and tigers pull this is off well done to them. NRL wants to be a stickler for the rules so why not use their own rules against them haha.

For me that's the perfect scenario. Didn't want to lose Momo.

If Grant comes, I'm worried Momo will get shafted. Where does Mbye play if not at the 9? Centre? Who misses out if that's the case, BJ or Momo?
I actually think going to Melbourne and playing first grade was better than him sitting in CC all year.

Moma plays centre with Mbye at 9 or 14.

Grant plays 9 if he moves to Sydney. This is why Mbye has now become a co captain. He is our best option to cover a few positions.

lol So for this to happen now it seems they will need to use a loophole to make a mockery of a system put in place where Clubs need to have 29 contracted players at Round 1 ...yet Round 1 + 1 day you can do it...

Well done NRL...outstanding..

Same with Packer on our books
Submit papers for medical retirement after round 1 and have it approved
Get significant cap relief And add to our current funds
We will only need to sign one player and should have close to a million dollars to do so

Not sure on the ruling but if we were to get cap relief for Packer, do we need to spend it in this years cap
