No he doesnt. Its an NRL clause that if he ever goes back to the NRL he has to join Manly. There is no early release clause its a 2 year deal with a 3rd year optionNezza Faz wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 7:52 pm And I suppose his dalliance with Salford was due to them giving him a contract after it went belly up at Manly for him. Then no other team, either SL or NRL was interested in giving him a run so he'll always be more than grateful for the chance the Reds gave him.
And come on, 99% of players who arrive here from the NRL are looking to impress in order to gain a return back from day one, and I see that Cust has got an exclusion clause to go back to Manly after just one season - it happens, that's life 12,000 miles from home ! And in a pandemic.

That’s correct
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

That's not true. According to Hastings himself he had several offers on the table.Nezza Faz wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 7:52 pm And I suppose his dalliance with Salford was due to them giving him a contract after it went belly up at Manly for him.

That’s correct
However the way contracts work, I wonder how watertight that arrangement is especially if Manly (or any other NRL team comes knocking).
Remember the continued speculation all last season whether Hastings would come back, in spite of the contract in black and white ?

Isn't that saying "The fact we speculated on something that didn't happen last year makes it ok to do the same this year."?Nezza Faz wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 6:00 pmThanks for the correction.josie andrews wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:10 amTricky Dicky1 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 8:41 pm

Re: Jai Field.
People say he was a bit strange off the field, but no examples. Anything that can be posted? Would it make the papers in Aus?
I had no problem with this public actions on and off the field.
