Living in the demountable.
Any people that have practiced around contract law might be able to help here.
How is it that with the third party aspects of NRL contracts, players assume no responsibility? They always say "well player X had no idea, he just signed the deal and didn't know who was paying him..." yada yada.
I recall my Contracts lecturer saying never sign anything unless you are aware of everything in it or you most likely won't have a leg to stand on if it goes to **** (paraphrasing). Kind of buyer beware. They keep trying to pass the buck here to agents and the club but surely if a player signs a deal they should take responsibility for what the deal they've signed contains and if they've signed a deal that goes against the cap, has to assume they were aware.
Players in the NRL get to use the "I didn't know" excuse WAY too much. Unless they get caught on video humping a dog they really never have to accept responsibility for anything...
