It gets paid out by insurance I believe
I expect the Warriors will also have a job lined up for him somewhere

ah ok itd be interesting to see how the insurance effects the clubs cap
yea 100% he'll be a mentor in some role
That money goes back into the cap I’m pretty sure. They would have already paid him since November (whenever pre season started) until now. Whatever he is owed gets paid by insurance and the warriors then have the reminder to use elsewhere. Pretty sure that’s how it works.
I’m saying that they should have around around 600k to spend on a replacement.
If Insurance accepts the medical retirement he gets all remaining contracted wage paid by them and all that cap space opens up.
If Insurance does not accept the medical retirement ticks the right boxes the club then has to decide if they pay him (in which case it would come from cap) or if they do not, which would free up the cap space.
Generally speaking the club would pay in the second instance and may have even made that agreement with the player prior to anything being made official.
But a player does take a risk nobody will pay them any further if they just choose to announce their retirement.
If a player retires (either non-medical or medical but not covered by insurance) the NRL will also have some discretion as to when & what cap space opens up.
An example of where this can get a bit confusing is Greg Inglis. He retired and no part of his wage was held against the Rabbitohs cap for the next year, but for the year of the retirement what he had been paid so far and what they paid him for the rest of that year for off-field work were both held against Rabbitohs cap.
This may have been where we were at with Dale also, given we employed him.
Edit: just to add, my understanding is from point of retirement Greg was only paid a much lower off-field job wage and none of his playing contract

Interesting piece of trivia that I saw from the randomstatsguy on instagram yesterday;
Tohu Harris was the first player to score a try in a world club challenge before his NRL debut.
Can anyone name another player to have done this?

Not really fair for him to go out like that, he deserved better. I enjoyed his work, fantastic player.

Hadn't heard of him either. Debuted for the Bulldogs in the final round (a big loss to Cowboys).

So train and trial? Nothing to get excited about in all likelihood.
