Unless you're South Sydney...i dont think everyone understands the act of "releasing a Player".. for starters another club needs to want that player.. whos gonna want olive?? and yes you can pay him out and send him on his way, but i sure the NRL have strict anti tampering laws when it comes to releasing a top 30 player..
Again a contradiction. Inglis was not on his last contracted year, yet was allowed AND got salary cap relief. Unbelievable.This is from my mate who works on the cap at another club:
"It has to be in their last contracted season. But you can tell him you want to pay him out and release him. You don't have to find him a team if you both agree on a figure. Whether that's the balance of his contract or a figure he would be happy to take.
He could then go and supplement his payment from you with a new contract from any other club during the season.
You would have to promote a player from your development squad (60k salary) to your top 30 and increase their salary to the NRL minimum (pro rata for where you are in the season). "
Asked specifically about Olive:
Yep if he is happy to take his money and run then that's fine. You'd have to have enough in your cap to bump up a guy in development to NRL minimum salary or to spend that space on an established player if you had the cap room"...
So in essence, you can cut a player and pay them out if they agree to it...
I dont think he is bad. He got played for too many minutes and was gassed (We have all seen the 'GeNiUs' bench rotations used this year.Can’t say it’s a surprise, considering he’s played FA games, he has potential and is a Nz rep player. But it’s not a HUGE loss.. although he would have been good alongside CHN, and is a better option than some we are fielding!! Maybe it’s opening a door for someone else. Who knows!!
Has he come on as an impact player for 15-20 minutes per half, I think we would all be singing his praises.
I'd like to see Reimis at centre and can have Nofo on the wing. That would be a nice combo with some strike power.He is a good winger, but has he played much in the centres? That's where we're short.
