That's only if they negotiate whilst under contract though right?
Thought that was why players like him and papi were negotiating releases

NRL can't penalize anyone that's not under contract to a NRL (or affiliated competition contact) nor could they deny future registration to any potential player that had previously signed a R360 contract so long as it no longer had effect.

It's a simple fix. Clubs shouldn't release them out of their final year (like they have done with Paps and Lomax). That way if they sign whilst still registered then the penalty will take place.
 
I say just let them go and stop with the big threats Vlandys. He’s only going to make himself possibly look like a fool if the bans can’t stand up, or he goes and allows a big name player like Haas back in 2 years anyways.

Not every NRL players wants to jet around the world every week, a lot have families and a lot won’t even get offers. We will still have a quality NRL competition even if we lose a few.

If anything Vlandys has already weakened our product because players are jumping out of the 2026 season so they can sign with out being on a contract.

I dunno, if it means players have to negotiate a release with their clubs that’s probably a positive thing.
Beats an SBW walkout where you find out your star players gone last minutes he’s flying out to another country

True if they have long term NRL contracts its good to see them try do it professionally.

Players like Papi situation though could have been 100% committed to the 2026 season. But after October I’ll be signing with 360. Haas is another one who might potentially be released soon over these threats.

Some also might only want a 1 or 2 year 360 contract, now under Vlandys potential bans they’ll either sign longer or go elsewhere after. Vlandys has now has put himself in a situation where a big name player like Haas could want back in and could be getting a contract offer from Bears or PNG to help their new franchise, and he has to say no.

That’s not how it works though. Clubs are releasing them not out of the goodness of their heart but to free up space.

If they wanted to keep they would and the fact they are getting released to not make another club stronger is also a factor
 
Murray Tualagi has been told by the cowboys he won’t be re signed past his current deal which expires next season.

Bit of a strange one considering he’s a rep player for Samoa and Qld :?

St George are going hard for him now as well as the Titans.

That is bizarre. Not like they have wingers beating the door down, and he's still young.

His form has been patchy but at his best he’s an absolute gun.

Unless they need to rebalance their cap and he’s on overs? Even then you’d just offer a fair deal and see if he takes it.

I think he’s a over rated but still a good player

Yeh I get it. Club self interest comes first.

They better not complain then when their star players start asking for releases

Not much info out there but it says he’s on around 450k. Definitely not overs imo.
 
Now, if Tevita Pangai Junior’s decision to turn down a move to the Warrington Wolves in favour of moving to a SIXTH division French rugby side for 2026, doesn’t end up with him ultimately signing for R360 for 2027 and beyond, I’d be amazed. 😜

TPJ just wanders around the sporting world collecting cheques. He knows he is naturally physically gifted and that he should capitalise on that but I just don’t think he enjoys being a sportsman very much.
