Daugunu returns to training but out of Rebels match

Where's the twist? That article has no new information?

$7,000, the amount in question has been spilt, surely, they could have sold one of those cars they have to pay him out!

[Burgs]

From my reading that amount is as an unsecured creditor and not transferable to RA as is outside pay agreement?
So he either needs to get in line with the rest of the creditors and await the outcome of the franchise future, or get over it unless some good Samaritan offers to cover it.
While I understand the principle, not sure holding his mates to ransom is a great look.
My previous comment re implications for insurance purposes doesn't stand as it isn't that aspect, it's a relocation subsidy.

$7000 was the amount I saw in another article earlier in the week so that's probably caused the confusion.

Was the original amount $14k?

Sounds like he's posturing for a move. Probably already got a bolt hole lined up

I think we all need to realise that a lot of the Fijian and other islander players, often and probably if not most of the time support families back home.

Any reduction or non payment not only affects the player but his dependents as well.

It would not be a comfortable position for him to be in.

I get what you are saying, but witholding your labour over a one-off $7,000 fee even though you are still being paid your regular (and, I am sure, quite considerable) salary, when lots of non-critical staff at the club have already been laid off can seem like a bit of a dick move.

I think he (or his agent) is using this to angle for an early exit to take up a better, or more secure, offer elsewhere.

When you say "take" Kurtley what do you mean?

It's a relevant question which Kurtley also wants the answer to

I mean he would be good injury cover if a one of the Aussie super rugby teams lost an outside back to a long term injury.

I am only considering his playing ability though and not any other reasons

I think the other reasons are why he'd be a good fit in Rugby league.
