Are unusual clauses a sign of excess player power? | Wide World of Sports 

sounds like the nrl clubs payed for this segment lmfao

I love Billy’s comment if Schuster went to the Storm under Bellamy! “He’d go alright I reckon!”

The clubs agreed to these contracts, don’t cry when players activate them

Tigers didn't have to sign the contract with the clauses.

The players are the ones putting their bodies and future health on the line🤷🏻‍♂️

Its seems like players can move and choose freely what they want and how much they want without repaying clubs their effort and investment in them. This will only allow for players to find themselves playing for top teams.

Stef will play origin this year, surely. Stef and Payne Haas oof! Thats a quality front row.

Nope it’s a sign that 5-10 player managers is an unacceptable blight on the game. The broncos fell apart when they allowed half the team to be managed by 1 guy, who promptly used the stars as leverage to get garbage players a spot and then used the fact that half the squad was with him to demand more money and weird clauses for players. Which was just a way for the player manager to continue to extort the club for more.

Schuster was entitled to every dollar It’s a contract the money MUST be paid- it’s okay to see he’s out of form But he’s won 25 an lost 25 - that’s a 50 percent win rate + he’s played tests

Certain players can be synonymous with greatness and a club. Can they transcend a club? Perhaps, they have to be outstanding Sterling and Price, Smith, Slater and Cronk. Some players have a sense of entitlement and its a generational thing. Players from previous eras knew they had to work hard.

Its only two origins right? Thats what i remember when they first did the deal. When did it become 3?

Joey is 💯 percent correct get him to storms for lower contract rate and unleash his true potential gradually and then his value can increase as well..

Footy is a business. The moment a player thinks the club bosses are his mates is when he's screwed. Look after yourself and give yourself some insurance. Clubs screw over players all the time.

First (other comment seems like spam) but on serious note I agree players are ha ing too much power now in negotiating table

Bellamy is the boss. He got Katoa cranking!

So the Roosters don’t have clauses in their contracts? Please Freddy! Joseph Suallii?

“Who signs off on this?” An NRL contract requires 4 Signatures. 1 is the player 1 is the Club The other 2 are witnesses from both parties.

i could understand if Stefano was a gun, he is far from that and should work harder

It will eventually get as bad as the NBA in the next couple of years.

I like it,it makes the market more competitive where clubs that are going badly for years actually have a chance of gaining and retaining really good players.Imagine you are a player and you wouldnt blame them for not wanting to be stuck somewhere they will get smashed every week

In reality, the players are mostly the same talent and size across the board, it's on the coaches to improve the team and most coaches are rubbish and don't produce consistent results

Sounds like player manages holding clubs to ransom, I’m an afl fan but I can’t wrap my head around you can put all this time into young talent let them flourish and lose them for donuts.

Is this segments sponsored by the clubs font offices 😂😂 clubs draw up the contracts if both parties sign the contract with clauses included they by law have to be honoured lol

ASTA LA VIESTA "BABE"

Clubs own fault for NOT developing enough players. Focus on young stars instead of all players

Sounds like Stefano taking advantage of the Tigers. Get him out of the club!

Smith only signed with the roosters if played hooker, so the top sides also have clauses. It's getting like soccer, players bigger than coaches and club's.

So it’s ok if clubs have clauses and players can’t. Just get rid of clauses altogether.

Time to take the cap off

Andrew Johns sounds like a union-busting factory owner here - amendments in contracts favouring players are wrong, but those favouring the club are right.

Excess?? It represents the market. If you don’t want to allow clauses, don’t sign them. Excess doesn’t exist.

Turuva is to small He will come to St George for 5 games and straight into reserves He’s not better then the feagai boys Schuster ain’t going anywhere , manly owe him cash 💰, he’s got 25 wins and 25 losses that’s a 50 % win rate ?..

They all get paid well so play well then or get out and see how hard the real world is get a Trade.I have 3 Trades behind me and love them all work hard and save well and enjoy my Holidays.These guys just think its easy sailing getting paid a fortune and at the end left with nothing who's fault is that not the Supporters that is for sure.

Once big business gets involved in sport then sport will be finished. The fans help make sport good with the sports contestants. Once the business partners are getting investments more money is wanted greed steps in. Look at the masters i great fan tournament but know year on year they are losing fans. The following of golf with the camera has got worse and worse for TV . For the first time i turned it off and haven't watched it. 40 years ago bbc could follow the ball threw the air land and coming to a stop, now it gets lost you don't see it land and worse thing of all you cannot see the hole. Now look at professional rugby they changed to one company not on TV bbc anymore i haven't watched a single game since the change. I have noticed that people have moved down a couple of notches to footballers who don't make the grade people are beginning to watch them not in big numbers but non the less there is a movement. Ladies football will pick up and fall quicker because the fans know they are not getting value for money. I have suggested to lady golfers when you hold a tournament in a town that the girls playing should arrive a day earlier to go to local schools and hospitals that would improve the amount of fans. Kids seeing these players dressed up with there nails done and make up on jeezy peeps i am sure that would increase fans over the years. I have caddied for the girls in the british open so i am well aware of the pull they would have.

Clubs use players at will ,players should also be aloud the same benefits
