This is the article up on Rugby Gold. Goes into a few more details. http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/james-o8217connor-signs-with-west-harbour-in-a-move-that-hints-at-a-switch-to-the-nsw-waratahs/story-fndptz3t-1226658393882

Looks like this things is growing a few more legs, despite my predictions http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/james-o8217connor-signs-with-west-harbour-in-a-move-that-hints-at-a-switch-to-the-nsw-waratahs/story-fndptz3t-1226658393882 I didn't realize there was an existing Rebels...

Think this is just pot stirring and poor ol' Georgina Robinson took the bait on this one (what a surprise). For it to be posted to twitter, removed then re-posted back on the FB page seems a little odd. Anyways I don't think it would have any bearing on his soup franchise intentions. It also...

Fair point. Again I speculate on the contents of a Super Rugby LOA. I'm guessing they are fairly similar accross the board and I would have thought something that looks like roles, responsibilities, remuneration would be included. I would that would have passed the legal definition of...

Totally agree. I've been saying this in other threads, however depending on the content of the LOA it could be viewed as a biding agreement. Whilst waving my armchair Lawyer flag it would seem that a signed agreement between two parties for the provision of goods/services (in this case cash...

Neville and Jones from the Rebels. They'll take no crap.

Wow...how silly of me! I'll be sure not to stuff up the spelling of Bernard's name again.

Sorry...Bernard.

Agreed that everyone will have specific detail for a contract, but for most places I have worked for employment agreements are fairly standard and it's just simply a matter of completing the pertinent information in the contract. If Sam and Brendan agreed to these terms I would have thought Sam...

Not really sure why they would use a letter of intent as I don't know what weight they carry? Do they merely show agreement of terms or are they binding somehow? Seems they aren't if someone can just walk away from them. If they carry no weight and any party can change their mind they see a)...

Poor Higgers, hopeful news about Pyle. http://www.melbournerebels.com.au/News/ArticleDetails/tabid/270/ArticleID/9400/Default.aspx

I'm only an armchair Lawyer, however if it's an agreement between two parties to exchange goods/services then a court might have a different opinion. If they have no benefit/legal weight then I ask why have them?

Blessing or a curse for Nic. Not sure if running the team whilst trying you audition for the Wallabies is a healthy mix. Quietly confident of a win here for the Rebels. It will be bloody tough, but never say never.

Nice summary :) After all this mess I'm trying to work out the benefits of these 'letters of intent' and if they have any legal recognition. If they don't mean then a) why would you use them and b) why would you let the world know that you've signed one? I've always suspected that someone...

Pity they don't want/need him. I think Berine Larkam and Jake have gone on public record about this.

I think the next Weary Dunlop match is gonna have a little extra spice in it now :)

Genia all over again...*sigh* Should have waited until pen to paper was done. I'm guessing the 'tahs leaked it out early in an attempt to stir a social media backlash, akin to the Genia affair last year. Rob Clarke is being very diplomatic about the whole affair, but I'm betting he's...

Interesting how they are now trying to link Izzy signing with the reappointment of Robbie Deans. Guess Link might be coming home after all :)

News just through the Shota is off for international duty. Looks like I get my wish to see Pat tearing it up this weekend.

Just a quick one..any reason why you both switched lorenzo and nic between prop positions? I'd start Luke Jones at 6 or even 8. did Cooper come through OK from his club match on the weekend?
