[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 392570, member: 43400"] Yes, I admit I made a mistake, a transfer fee would not help in the case of Afoa or Payne because they are coming off contract. Can't see a problem with it being legal, i'm guessing that they probably sign a contract when they start to play ITM, then again when they play Super rugby etc - you use to get a similar thing happen in the NZ public service, where they would pay some of the university students while they were studying in return for a year service for every year they were paid. The student could break the contract, and go and work in the private sector before their service was up, but they had to pay a penalty - often the private sector employer would pay this as part of the recruitment. ... I guess it's effectively contracting players for longer (like you suggested earlier), but still giving the players a buy out option to their contract if they decide to use it. [/QUOTE]
