that’s a discussion that players would like to have with us we’re open to it but they enjoy free-trade at the moment and that’s a big part of their negotiation,” Greenberg said. “We’ve tinkered with it over a period of time to try and put some transparency into this space, and it’s never
Jared Crick Jersey going to be a perfect science.” A few years ago the NRL had a rule about “anti-tampering” in relation to player transfers. There was a 30 June “transfer deadline” and clubs weren’t allowed to approach a player before then. But what was an “approach” and what was agent and CEO having a coffee, just two guys talking, could never be policed. And so agents and clubs talked away, and their conversations were leaked to media, usually by agents, as a way to get players’ price bumped up by stimulating “interest”. Way of the jungle. Mo’ Moneyball. Advertisement So there was all that. And it didn’t work very well. As Greenberg says, there’s no perfect system. You can’t stop players thinking about their future. They’re independent contractors, small businessmen. They are

Moses was among the Tigers’ best in their upset win over the Cowboys in Townsville. Bulldogs five-eighth Josh Reynolds is off contract after 2017 and will have heard talk of Des Hasler wanting Kieran Foran at Belmore. But Reynolds knows one way to play – full on, froth, blood and bother. A trade window? A set period of time when all off-contract players are bartered, bought and sold? What could it possibly mean? Would prices go up? Would it be good or bad? And for who? Let’s say the NRL instituted a rule whereby players could not sign with another club outside of a designated window. Say during the month of October, post grand final. And all the buying, selling, swapping, hocking, all that, could only take place in the month after the grand final. That would take out the prospect of your team’s best player signing for Manly. Guardian Australia sport newsletter: subscribe by email Read more Let’s say then the hottest

And rugby league couldn’t compete? Because of a rule? Because of “noise”? Because fans don’t like it? The “open slather” system suits the players because they can look after their personal brand, their small business. It suits their managers because they can do their thing and sell their people. Thus the RLPA won’t be advocating for a trade window any time soon. But as Greenberg said, the NRL might look at it down the track, and tweak the system. But without the co-operation of the game’s power-brokers, the players, it isn’t going to happen
