Out of the whole saga that has been going on with us, and other clubs (ie Barba to the Broncs, or Boyd getting out of Newcastle) what was really annoyed me is how fans and management just get to the point with a peed off player who is under contract and say 'screw it just let him go, he's causing trouble'.
Now I agree with doing that, and I would do the same if I was in charge. But I hate seeing that kind of behavior rewarded. And I think we are starting to see this more and more (or at least rumours through media outlets and player managers) and are going to start seeing a real spike in it.
But my point is how do we stop this? I'm not suggesting keeping a player that doesn't want to be somewhere, as it can derail teams and affect other players. So what do you do? I honestly have no idea......does there need to be some arbitration between the parties. Oh hang on that would mean the NRL getting involved and being proactive...so scratch that. Any thoughts?
