I am certain that if the player and club wish to announce the signing they will ... a cooling off period is a legally enforceable law ... announcing it is just good/bad sense prior to the end of the 10 day period.

It's not a legal matter, just an NRL process
----
* A player may sign an extension of his contract with his existing club at any time;
* A player may sign with a new club only during the final year of his contract;
* A 10 business day cooling off period will apply to all contracts; and,
* A club signing a player is prohibited from making an announcement until the cooling off period has expired.

ΛΛ Warriors announced Green yesterday, only after a 10 day cooling off had expired

I am not at all sure if everyone here understands the true ramifications of that.

BUT Channel Ten last night reported that Pearce had signed. Surely they would have checked their facts before going off early?
Surely?
Is there also a rule that a player must wait until the cooling off period has expired before announcing it?
It is all nonsense ... and to accept that that was the case .. I would need to also accept that at least 50 people have been blatently telling lies to the media for the past 10 days ...

That’s not Pearce mate, he has a full length tattoo sleeve on his right arm, that bloke has nothing.
Also it was posted by Knights fans that he was meeting with Brown in Newcastle this morning. He was in Coogee.
No substance to any of that.

But I thought contracts would always be signed in the open at a cafe, and makeup artists can easily cover up a “sleeve” tattoo, if given a few hours.

Yeah I know mate, hopefully Pearce comes to manly, if not Tom Wright can fill the void

Pearce is the one on the right with the peace sign tattoo on his left wrist. It's him and that other guy is wearing a knights shirt with the nib logo on the sleeve.
This was taken at roughly 10am at a restaurant near the scg.

Exactly .
He said everyone had been mentioning Manly and they had shown interest along with some other clubs, not that they were front runners mate.
