Why would Hull agree terms with Cas before they know if Chase could actually get a visa?

Why would you waste money applying for a visa if cas aren't willing to sell at a price you're willing to pay?

Better to put the manhours in and THEN make an offer when you know it's possible than other way around. You can also get other targets then.

So, yes, it is plausible. Perhaps you should ask your own club?

But you'd clearly enquire about the player first see if he's happy to come to 'x' club and if his current club would be willing to accept an offer of what ever if we can get a visa for the player first. Then you'd go about applying for the visa obviously why would you waste money on attempting to get the player a visa if his current club aren't even willing to let him move on?

That's not the same as agreeing terms though, is it, which is what you said?

They could of quite easily agreed terms basically at the same time as they inquired about Chase. If you all want to believe IM then do so, but it's more than likely that your club are trying to get more money out of us if the visa does come through.

I like how Hull fans have transmogrified Adam Pearson's arrogant approach to buying success, into other clubs cynically seeing them as a cash cow; they're having the same conversation on their board about WTW and Kyle Amor.

I didn't realise that other clubs were expected to sponsor Hull FC's newfound ambition by selling them players at below market value - perhaps Mr Pearson should get a 'top London legal team' to set us all straight?

Meanwhile, back in the real world, if a player is determined to leave and Hull are buying, then it's nothing other than good business to extract maximum value for that player. I'm sure Mr Pearson will get up to speed on all that stuff when he has a bit more experience under his belt.

I'm sure the multi-millionaire and very successful Mr Pearson is eternally grateful for your fine business advice.

If he signs for an NRL club, you wont get a fee.

NRL clubs don't pay transfer fees, as far as I know they have never paid a fee for a SL based player in the past.

Although it's not that common, if they really want someone they will pay.

That's ok - I usually charge for this sort of stuff but since he's just starting out in SL, we'll consider this one pro-bono.
