They are, but they're still outside the top 30 and cap. If we needed to save on cash it would be much easier and probably cheaper for player 30 to be an internal promotion of a young gun than find someone from outside willing to join us on minimum wage.

Our development boys may be requiring upgrades soon too. There's sure to be a lot of clubs looking at them over the coming year or two. We need to look them up! Also Cini isn't a development player til 2020 so if he was pushing for first grade he'd need to be promoted. (and he's exactly the type of player we're missing in first grade - just depends what his defense is like)
 
I think tomorrow is the court date for both if memory serves me correctly
 
i doubt we can sign him now after signing jennings, remember we are not the sharks. CANT WAIT TO SEE WHO THEY SHED. will be the bloke who peels the oranges maybe.

Pretty sure he was released from the final year of his contract..so Balmain Boy is right

yes was released to play for the WT’s

If he doesn’t get an offer …

A release is a release unless there was a stipulation that he got another NRL contract which I doubt..
 
So who is actually paying him - if anyone is. He is not contracted to us so i assume we aren't paying him. He would have been released by Souths to take up the contract we offered him which has now fallen through so i would assume his release is null and void. If that was the case Souths would have to pay him as he is still contracted to them? It would be interesting if someone in the know could provide some info of how this works when a player is in limbo between clubs.
 
Yes, until they released him from his contract. Therefore leaving him uncontracted.

It was of course only meant to be for a day or two as he had signed a contract with us, but then all this stuff happened which is down to his own behaviour and therefore that contract hasn't been registered. So therefore he currently has no contract with the NRL.

Musgrove is contracted or signed a contract with us..yes it must be registered with the NRL for him to play but as far as getting paid now I would say we are as he is training with us pending the outcome of his case .. what happens from there will depend on the verdict.

Signing subject to clearance from NRL. I think all announcements need this little bit too. What should we be liable when NRL will not clear the contract?
 
If the NRL does not register his contract, do the payments made by the Tigers to Musgrove come under or outside the salary cap?
 
As I alluded to when I started this thread topic, there is a huge amount of grey isnt there in this issue that needs to be teased out by the NRL not the clubs since they (the NRL) have the initial start point of clearing the contract- let alone actually doing their job of ensuring the contract amounts are inside the salary cap but lets not go there…...................
