The original Luke Walsh get-out clause story : Sat Jul 13, 2013 5:01 am  

Hi everyone, finally got around to posting this from Rugby League Week. I didn't think the club's denial was very convincing. Luke Walsh's St Helens Getout Clause http://stevemascord.com/2013/07/13/luke ... ut-clause/

Brilliant.

Who let him have that included?

Most overseas have these sort of get-out clause. I find it strange that he's talking about it though, he should be keeping his mouth shut about his contract.

Exactly.

paraphrased my mates have had a good time in Blighty , but a reminder to NRL clubs, please don't forget me
if your star HB get crocked,arrested or moody and you need a steady 7, you know where I am.

\doesn't sound that committed.

Only Saints and their signings have the ability to take the edge off good news stories.

Still think Miller at Hull would have been the better option.
He's hungry and he's here.

NRL star going back to Aus after a couple of seasons. That's never happened before!

Absolutely fantastic again for Penrith this morning. Kicking game is probably the best in the world at the minute.

The difference in him now compared to signing for us is unreal! He looked like a player fed up of rugby. Now he looks like a player really enjoying it.

If he can bring this form to super league, he will be one of the best 7s in super league, if not the best but that's if he can repeat this form.

He's certainly deadly with the boot.

I don't think anyone is worried about him going home after a couple of seasons. The possibility of him going home after 6 months is another matter, though.

Or 6 days!

He will be coming in the cold, snow a s rain. That must be big culture shock for most Aussies.

Odd that both the player and club would say something quite explicitly, yet contradict each other.

He'll come next season, but if he keeps his current form up and plays well over here we may have to look for another 7 for 2015 or, more likely, 2016 when he has an option on his deal.
