Johnny Walker : Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:23 pm  

I have been told today that Castleford have re-signed Johnny Walker after an attempt by his agent to do underhand double dealings to try get him to another club,

This agent doesnt actually have a licence i am led to believe so im glad that this has been found out

The same unlicensed agent has also been involved in what would be an illegal transfer (anti-tampering deadline isn't for months) involving Arundel and Hull

The club should report both Hull and said "agent" for illegal transfer activity if this is the case.

Why leave it to the club , if you know names then email the RFL with your misgivings

The RFL are a closed shop, it's a waste of time emailing them with anything because it will be ignored.

RW needs to kick up a big fuss about it (I'll drop him an email later just in case he doesn't know but I'm sure he will be aware).

It does need highlighting , why not drop same email to the league express and others, Saddler hates agents apparently.

If (Removed ) is illegal why does cas and all the other teams deal with him

Mate please be very careful naming people on an open forum, RLfans has a AUP and the section below advises on avoiding potentially libelous comments.
that
1.2a. Legal action

* Under British libel laws the burden of proof is on the defendant so we will consider anything potentially defamatory as libelous.

If Cas or any club dealing with unlicenced Agents its them thats breaking the law not the Agent,all licenced Agents are registered at the RFL and have to leave a Cash bond of 22,000 pounds.

This bloke has a number of "clients" across a number of if not all clubs and he's encouraging players to sign contracts before the anti-tampering deadline.
