Apparently B Smith gave the Dolphins verbal guarantees...

Was it in writing? He would have given an oral guarantee if he didn't sign anything.

would a Cheese verbal agreement include the F and C words ?

Did they shake hands? Did he promise to still respect them in the morning ? Sweet to see Bennett get turkey slapped.

Verbal agreements are as enforecable as written ones in the eyes of the court - all depends on the conduct of the parties and any witnesses in a court setting if it got that far - I didn't say this/didn't agree to that etc -has to be proved beyond any reasonable doubt though

I had it on a very good source that Bennett thought he had him.

Cop that lol

Just when you thought Smith and his "manager" couldn't look any stupider.

You think any club is going to take a player to court to force them to sign and play for them ?? Good luck with that one mate.

We'll see who has the last laugh then.

There's bo contract unless there's an offer, acceptance and consideration. Personally, I think that offers to treat and expressions of interest are just that.

I know some people hate me bringing up my work experience ('this is the NRL, not a workplace') kinda thing but it's literally just bog standard employment contract negotiations.

Heck, I had a friend specifically ask me to apply for a job, followed by a 2 hour phone-call with 2 partners from the said law firm (in August). We were all chattie and I went away thinking 'that's as good as an offer'. Heck, it was going REALLY well, then I inadvertently told them I speak fluent Japanese, which had them jumping up and down with excitement (lotsa big Japanese customers with Japanese work cultures...etc in this area). However, they never responded to my application. About a month ago I sent them an e-mail asking if they had any updates... no response. I'll never know why they got cold feet but that's business! Again, I thought I the interview went extremely well. Obviously they didn't... HAPPENS! Isn't something that particularly bothers me (and I doubt Wayne/Smiddy would care).
