RTS - Return to Sydney ?

[BondiBob]

Highly Unlikely for the money he would command - we need some really strong forwards and a five eight for the future or if Keary goes down

In another life I used to frequent the Paddington Green, the Mandarin Club, Chinatown, Kings cross (married and in a group), the Journalist Club, ...late at night.
"Tag along bb"...invited by friends who knew people who knew people who knew people.
Mrs bb the 'social butterfly'.
It was all past my bedtime even then.
Many varied and interesting things did I see and hear.
Journos sure did love a drink back then.

great stuff

Personally no, but we'll see what King Robbo does

King Robbo?

King Robbo?

Is he not a King? One of the best coaches of all time and loyal to the Roosters...

[ism22]

I heard he's planning to earn $1m from yawnion and then seek a release to come here on $100k a season

[Chook]

The NRL would never allow it given he could earn twice as much as we could afford at either the Dolphins or Tigers.

If RTS does return to League hopefully he goes to the Tigers.

The NRL can’t stop a player from taking unders if he chooses to. No way.

Of course they can, they can simply refuse to register the contract on the basis it is not market value and subverts the cap.

Just depends on a few factors. We would move on Momorovski if possible, thats 300k, is there some cap space leftover from this year,could be 150 or whatever available, thats 450. Would we be happy moving Sitili on, we have some good young Back row talent in the wings. Has Sualli let Nick know he will move onto Rugby in 24 so Roger could be upgraded in 24. Who knows, but not out of the ralms of possibility Roger spends 3 0r 4 years finishing where it all began.

Didn't the NRL block Folau going to Parramatta?

[bondi paul]

Coming back to Easts after 8 years of being on the Kiwi gravy train I doubt he would take unders to re join.

The NRL can’t stop a guy from playing for less than what his perceived market value is. Can’t happen. Won’t happen. If the player agrees to a certain salary than good luck to the NRL for trying to void the contract or not register it.

[King Salvo]

The League places nominal values on all players for contract registration purposes.

The NRL Auditor thoroughly reviews all contracts and can also value a players worth if this is not truly or fairly reflected in the new contract.

A club for instance couldn't try to register a contract for Munster for 400k a season when his nominal value would be around 800k plus.

I think what they need is a salary arbitration system where parties can elect to go to a third party to determine the salary payable by way of conciliation or if the parties are in dispute the third party can determine by way of arbitration the salary payable.

i.e NRL Development contracted players are on 60k but are expected to train the same as full NRL Contracted players are so their salary should reflect this.

One assumes there maybe other clauses in these development contracts where the player receives extra payments for each NRL game they play as other wise they are being exploited more than they already are and the players union should step in

The NRL can refuse to register a contract for any number of reasons and they have done it before. They refused Israel "Farktard" Folau and even SBW's contract with us in 2013 had to meet some market value guidelines if I remember correctly. It was 400K at least or something? If you think the NRL will register a contract for RST for minimum wage or even 500K, when he was earning near 1 mill only last season, you're dreaming. It won't happen.
