Not sure why we wouldn't hold on to his registration and require a fee if he was going to join another team, particularly a Super League team.

I mean if we are looking to sign a Salford player, and he goes to Salford, then we do look like chumps if he goes for nowt and we have to pay a big fee.

Doing this may have stopped us signing Momorovski as we would have had no quote spot free?!

If this is the case then OS quota player can do what they like of they want out as clubs are held to ransom on needing to fill that spot.

Seems to be the case yep. Have we ever received a transfer fee for any overseas player wanting out? Segeyaro, Eastwood etc.?

No, not disclosed anyway I think.

We usually get a “world class partnership & idea exchange with “game changing pathways” instead of cash.

Bottom line is 2024 is a fresh start. We've got some real star signings and a completely new spine. Any player not fully committed should be shown the door (and probably has been). I reckon that's the approach Leeds have taken to this off-season, and its been a long time coming. Letting Nene go and signing someone else quickly afterwards ought to send a clear message to any prima donnas in the squad (not thinking of anyone in particular of course.....).
