[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 344052, member: 64443"] Seriously don't understand why professional rugby in the southern hemisphere still persists with with these 1 or 2 year deals, especially the Lions and Cheetahs. [U]Professional sport[/U] is first and foremost a business, so if a union neglects the financial aspect of things (signing players on good,water-tight and long term contracts), then they won't get any sympathy from either SARU or the SARPA (the players' union), and it is they who are generally called upon to settle disputes. Take this Basson thing, if what they are saying is correct, and that Griquas have 'sold' Basson without consulting the Cheetahs, then the deal he was on (which details who pays what) is obviously flawed in some way, otherwise the Griquas would have followed an out-line procedure. Anyways, will be interesting to hear the results of the case. [/QUOTE]
