Why does the nrl allow players to be signing for the following year before this years season has even begun? It's distracting and annoying hearing about it all. It's not good for team harmony either.
How long have you got? This is an argument that everyone agrees with, but nobody has the balls to stand up and make the change.
Like most things related to players. The players association needs to stay relevant so they make stupid demands. Then NRL aren’t interested in the fight.
A month transfer window starting a week after the Grand final is the only way to go. The players argue that 6 months isn’t enough time to relocate. Yet when it suits they manage to do it in a day. It’s ridiculous.
Terry Hill well and truly stuffed the draft concept years ago. But this should something revisited also. Make it a voluntary thing. Any player who goes into the draft and picks up a deal gets a salary cap discount as part of their deal.
Whatever they do it shouldn’t be over a year ahead of time!
