I agree herald the players are just looking after themselves and who can blame them the way the club has treated the players last year and this year,its the people who gave them the contracts and agreed to sign them without doing their homework on how often a player is injured or there personality because looking at some of the lads this year there is no way u'd look to sign them on the money some of them were on this year with their history

i agree with all here, its a shame the position we are in but the primary reason for this is poor contracts

Re: GREAT PERFORMANCE : Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:55 am  

Understand the players' point of view, however if we're comparing with typical employers, I'm sure a lot of companies would have you on at least a final written warning with an absence record like Evans' or Acton's

Employers cannot give out disciplinary action to players / Staff with injuries or illness ..as with Rhys Evans

Yes they can. Not saying Leigh can, or should, given the nature of contract signed. But employers can discipline staff for poor attendance, and plenty do. So, while players are entitled to stick to their contract, I'm not going along with the argument of "How would you feel if your employer..." when it comes to Evans and Acton.

Sympathy does wear a little thin when one of the players, is currently missing from team selection after admitting at a recent RFL disciplinary deliberate use of an elbow on a fellow professional.

There’s a good chance that they aren’t absent from work like normal employees, they probably turn up for training or treatment as required by the club.

No idea if they have but Player’s contracts could/should have an appearance clause in them.

Rhys Evans is not for budging on his contract I would make him watch every minute he as played for us and tell him to show me something that warrants full pay

Tell me , what exactly are you trying to achieve by ' naming and shaming ' any particular player who most likely hasn't had a viable option to cancel his contract ?

Rhys has been injured , it's what happens when you play RL

I admit being constantly banned for poor discipline is a different matter , but injury isn't
