Quote ="Terry Monster"We dont have to take him to court,'"
Agreed. . . . but how far should they take your original assertion / use of the word forced?
Quote ="Terry Monster"It's not just any sh!!tty job,'"
Agree again, as you seem to agree with me in acknowledging that it is just a job.
Quote ="Terry Monster" where you depend on your team mates, loyalty to the cause is important '"
We're on a roll we both agree again. That loyalty is just as important in many jobs. I'd argue far more so in the armed forces. . . . . but are agreeing wheels just fall off at the following
Quote ="Terry Monster" and I'd be dissapointed and seriously let down in myself if I had I run out on a obligation I had made to the club, coach and team mates that I have claimed to love, I'd also be dissapointed if my team mate did the same thing. '"
Quote ="Terry Monster"Obviously I have a greater sence of loyalty than some. '"
Don't see why you'd believe that, given our joint comments above. It could be argued that you have a greater sense of misplaced loyalty in the greater scheme of life, but hey, whatever rocks your boat.
Quote ="Terry Monster"The thing is the NRL is going nowehere, and Burgess is always going to be in dmeand from there wether it's now, 2 years or 5 years. '"
Agree with the demand point. However, in 5 years would he still be young enough / fit enough / free from injury, OR illness, to enjoy what playing there and all that wider life in Oz can bring you. Who knows? Sometime you only get one chance in life. Sometimes, if you don't take that chance when it's offered, you live to regret it.
Quote ="Terry Monster"He should stick it out with the club and people that he's made a pledge to, even if it means waiting a little longer. He shouldn't have signed on the dotted line if he was not willing to do so.'"
And I think this is where we fundamentally differ - which I don't have any issue with, it'd be a boring world if we all agreed / had the same view point.
Just as an aside. Would your last points logic mean then that no club / no player should [iever [/iend a contract / move on / be moved on until the terms of the contract that both parties "have signed on the dotted line" for have been met. I guess that would apply in any sport then too?
At the end of the day Sam will do whatever Sam decides to do / when Sam decides to do it. Should that be to stay, then we'd all be happy. If he goes - then so be it and all the very best to him/his future, IMHO.
