A big-name international player will attempt to wriggle out of his contract with one of the banned agents in what is looming as a test case for the NRL. Three managers - George Mimis, Isaac Moses and David Riolo - are banned from conducting business for six months for their roles in the Storm salary cap scandal.

Barrister Alex Giurtalis, at the request of player agent/solicitor Jason Arraj, has reviewed the situation and believes the players could have legal grounds to extricate themselves from their managers.
