Wakefield Trinity • Contract window - behind the 8 ball again
Why are clubs allowed to negotiate contracts with other clubs players in May?
We are 1/3 or a bit more through the season only.
Also, you have teams like us and Cas who at present look to be at serious risk of relegation.
Because of this (again) we are likely unable to agree contracts to players and likely certain players won’t entertain our offers for 2024. This imo seriously puts clubs like us under pressure. Also it’s likely we would have to pay overs to convince players to sign.
It’s great for those consistent top teams ofcourse who I suppose get the pick of the lot but is this actually helping the sport as a whole?
Why can’t we open contract nagotiations at the end of regular season when the play offs start?
We would know the relegated team. Every team can guarantee SL the following year so there’s no apprehension and it’s fair to all 11 clubs (and also the promoted team to SL).
Just wondered why it’s may? When you look it seems heavily weighted to keep the top clubs sweeping the top players as they can offer security.
Why not Just move the window?
