You are kidding yourself. Our club pushing so hard for an early release may have been a bad look and a little desperate, but it wasn’t in any way a breach of rules.... and pushing for an early release in those circumstances is something a lot of clubs would have probably done (although they may not have gone so hard or let sponsors get involved).Some of you lot are hypocrites, Fletcher is a dickhead for saying anything, but the carry on from your club to get him released was far worse then this.
A club CEO coming out and openly talking to the media about trying to persuade a young and inexperienced player to break a contract which has already been registered by the NRL is a million times worse and a million times stupider. None of this would even be an issue if Penrith had done the smart thing and left enough in the cap for Burton in the first place.
