Quote ="OmneFC"if Obst gets a new contract with another club then why would Hull have to pay him off?
I assume the RFL has rules against players being contracted to two clubs simultaneously'"
Obst is contracted for the next season at Hull, and it's the club who wants him to leave as we need the cap space, therefore he's fully entitled to have his contract paid up and quite rightly so.
Obst is now in a position where he can get his contract paid up by Hull, and [ithen[/i sign for another club and get paid by them aswell. He's an idiot if that's not what he does, as he'd essentially be ing a year's wages up the wall.
