I would say my contract has more similarity than 2 parties. As I said, we also share a fixed-term time limit on the contract. I suspect there are differences in what happens if either party decides to terminate the contract before the end. I can terminate it any time without penalty with 3 months written notice. It is, actually, slightly harder for them to do the same (because I'm a fixed term employee rather than a contractor at the moment, otherwise that wouldn't be the case) but (and here you will notice more parallels between the two situations) there can always be negotiation on this. If they terminated it, I'd be asking for a pay-off. If I terminate it, I can probably negotiate an early release if they feel it won't damage business operations too much.

Whether they chose to offer a time limit in which to accept the contract or walk away is entirely up to the employer. When I got to the end of my last contract, I was offered an extension on slightly improved terms (which suited me as it neatly bridged the gap between that contract and my current one) but a colleague employed on the same contract for the same project was 'allowed' to leave. The difference was the perceived value of my contribution. Not blowing my own trumpet - she was just a bit rubbish really. The fact remains that our contract negotiations were not carried out in anything like the same way. Welcome to real life, in the world of fixed-term contracting.

Looks like Luke's en route to the Bunnies...

Grand Final winner to NRL reserve grader, that's a career decline Karl Pratt would have been proud of...

Good. Closure. Let's move on.

Booooooo

Paul Gallen. Srsly.



OK, probably not. No doubt one of the many high quality props who are available mid-season will come in.

No need for the sarcasm was there really? I just can't see Gary Hetherington releasing them from the payroll, freeing up the cap space and then not using it. He's too shrewd an operator for that.

Even after Burgess voice his anger in the Media? The writing was on the wall after that. The situation is less than ideal but it had to happen. Leeds will no doubt be looking to see who if anyone with quality is available now, if not no worries we'll have to wait until next season to bring in some quality.

singleton,amor,ambler and griffin are/will be the prop replacements

Yes and Neil Harmon too apparently.

The last couple of months of Biff not playing could be good experience for him for what's round the corner. Stealing a wage.............

This whole affair has been handled badly by the club. It's bound to have had an effect on other squad members. Hopefully the parting company today will draw a line under it and the club can move on.

It could also be that one of the two actually leaving the club will have a positive effect on the squad.

May be possible that one of the players getting too big for his boots at the club, and pis5ing other squad members off with his attitude. Just a theory

TBF he didn't say whether the effect would be positive or negative.
I took it to mean that it will be positive.
Was that not what he meant?

I hear burgess had to get new boots, he was getting too big for his

And his head was too big to get in the door, not bad really with him only being sams boot cleaner

hear burgess off with the rest of the family shortly

Russell Crowe originally wanted all 4 of the Burgess brothers as some kind of marketing gimmick - looks like he's got 3 of them now.

Given Sam & Crowe tweets this morning.....

With Souths injury problems in the front row he'll be playing first grade.

Reading between the lines (if that's possible in 2 tweets) it certainly sounds like Luke and Crowe have been in touch...
