Think some on here are giving Saili a hard time. Sometimes players just go through a rough point with injury’s. Whether you look after yourself or not, an injury is an injury. If, and if he can recover well and continue somewhat injury free, I can see him becoming worth every penny and then some for us.

I talked to James Chisholm on the tour and asked him about when he would be playing and see said he was available for this Saturday!

Talked to Buchanan his was less encouraging he said his injury was nearly career ending and was looking to be back by Christmas.

If by "release from contract" you mean "pay the rest of his contract", then that money comes out the salary cap. That may not give us the cash we need to attract the player we'd like.
. I know I had it explained with the hole JK thing but I really do not get how sports contracts are dealt with.  Why would we need to pay him to end of contract?  So far we have not seen 80 minutes of rugby in a season.  I know its harsh and I really think injury free he’d be a regular starter but there is a point where you need to see bang for your buck.

We agreed to employ him for 2 years (or whatever the figure is) at a given rate of pay. There isn't the idea of "one month's notice" in that, it's a fixed length. I guess maybe in exceptional circumstances (like getting sent to prison) the contract is broken, but illness or no longer wanting the player is not a reason.

Think of the Geo Cronje situation. He came over here with a contract signed, all the doctors (on both sides) thought he had a minor injury. Turned out to be a play stopping injury, but Harlequins were obliged to continue paying him for the contract period. In the end Geo Cronje was too much of a gentleman to take the money for nothing and so the contract was dissolved by mutual agreement, but he could have insisted and Harlequins would have had to pay him out to get him off the books.

Also what sort of presidence does it set, oh your injured bye bye
Whilst it’s not an ideal situation looking after your players is a core responsibility of any club

I thought that the standard Premiership contract required players to be paid for six months. Any longer was up to the club. However, I may be completely wrong because of old age, alcohol etc.

Unbelievably frustrating that he’s picked up another injury, just hope Tapuai does a decent job until he’s fully fit.

To be fair, with Lang, Tapuai, Lasike and Cheeseman filling in there, I'm not too worried. Saili, when fit, just offers something that those guys don't have - we've seen glimpses of it during the 5 games he has played for us. Would just be nice if it was available to use throughout the season...

Lang, great potential but no replacement for a fit Saili, Tapuai no replacement for a fit Saili, Lasike no replacement for a fit Saili, Cheeseman would not get into most prem squads.

Agreed he is a gent.  We have a few who I wish would show the same gentlemanly conduct who have been taking money for a year or more and hardly featured.
