Yeah it is but I'm not concerned by it.

Either he wanted to get out of his contract or the Dogs wanted him gone.

If it's the former, he didn't get paid so move on.

If it's the latter, he has a terrible manager. I doubt any manager would agree to it so doubt that's the case.

Personally, I think he's dumb as dogshit and was happy doing anything to get out.
Okay, you're not concerned! I'm trying to tell ya I'm not concerned either 🤣

Vossie will cover it on a Kayo show at some point. Top 10 Weirdest rugby league stories. Interesting question actually, what's the other 9? Hoppa, without doubt is one

They didn't pay him out. They could have said you can't play for another NRL club until your contract expires.

Move on.
He got a $250k payout... and I'd doubt he have any chance of getting the NRL to register a contract with the Dolphins next year.

How does the pay out come about? Isn't he leaving the club? Do footy players have holiday leave or something?

Not sure, maybe it has something to do with getting the contract off the books and out of the cap? Seems pretty generous for a guy who wants to leave though...

Hadn't heard that... source?
Would be weird to pay him out if he retired.

If they were trying to block him boxing despite there being nothing in his contract to prevent it I can see how they end up including some payout in the split.

It's not a proper retirement, more going to explore another sport. When Gal retired we knew he'd never come back, when SBW skipped out to Union he didn't really 'retire'. Both also explored boxing but one fully retired from League when he left. Every chance TPJ does and SBW and comes back.

Pay out suggestion was put to TPJ and I'd say he kind of dodged it - Sparkles I think it was brought up by Danny Weidler

However, Pangai Jr will receive a $250,000 payout of that deal - with the remaining $500,000 to be taken off Canterbury’s cap next year - in a move that has raised eyebrows.
