The ongoing transfer saga involving Springbok centre Jaque Fourie’s intention to move to Western Province is set to go to court this week.
Fourie wants to join WP immediately, as his lawyer Frikkie Erasmus has previously said that the Lions “do not have a binding agreement” with the Bok No 13.
But the Lions argue that Fourie signed a valid contract with them that will only expire at the end of next season. The Lions’ lawyer, Johan van Gaalen, said Tuesday that the Lions will lodge their application at the Gauteng South High Court later this week.
Fourie is currently on a Tri-Nations tour with the Springboks in Australia and scored a try in their 32-25 win in Perth at the weekend.
“The Lions are most probably going to court. Jaque’s attorney has informed us that Jaque is going to Cape Town after the Tri-Nations,” Van Gaalen said. “If he does that, he is not complying with his agreement and responsibilities he has with the Lions.
“Everybody has to honour and respect agreements, and that is what the Lions want Jaque to do. Players are quick to complain if unions don’t honour contracts. The Lions don’t think that Jaque has a contract with them, they know it.
“We don’t want to have a trial by media on this matter, so we will see what happens in court. We will lodge the application during the course of this week.”
Erasmus said that he did not want to comment on the matter, but said that if any application is lodged against Fourie, it would be opposed.
“I don’t want to comment on the merits of the case in anticipation of a possible court procedure, but if an application is launched against Jaque, we will oppose it,” he said.
@bdb –
Dink ons wen hulle 49-0 die keer! 😯
Mossie is going nowhere
32@K9-MonsterLeeu – hoekom sê jy so, of ‘hoop’ jy net hy gaan nêrens heen nie ?
@KingPaul – Waar is ons suurgat. Ek hoop hy gaan. Laat hy maar sy rugby gaan verkak daar in WP. Laat Rassie sommer nog 50 ouens koop. Gelukkig ondersteun die 5 mense wat Ellis Park toe gaan die Bokke. Nie soos die NUweland faithfulls die All Blacks nie. FFS. Altyd iets faarkens slegs oor die Leeus te sê. Haal die balk uit jou eie donnerse oog uit!!!
@Ed_the_Lion –
Middag Ed. Jy klink kwaai? hehe
@Supa Die Bloubul – Ons het mos nou n inside man. Bryan weet presies hoe lyk daai trofee…dalk bring hy hom saam.
34@Ed_the_Lion – middag, kwaai leeu ! 😉
@Stirling Woodcock –
😆
@Supa Die Bloubul – Nee man. Ek werk nou al van gisteraand 10 uur af aan die reply funksie. Ek kry nie kans om bietjie te kom chat nie, dan moet ek sulke onnodige slegte goed lees. Middag Supa. Ek is 100% agter jou span die naweek. Ek hoop Fudge flok hulle op.
@Ed_the_Lion –
Die vyfde Bul speler is JL Potgieter. Onthou jy waaroor ons gepraat het op skype?
@bdb – Middag BDB. Hoe gaan dit?
@Ed_the_Lion – When the All Blacks is not playing at Newlands, they become Bulls fans.
Just watch how many Bulls supporters there are at newlands on Sat.
@bdb – moet ‘n voorbeeld van hom gemaak word. Al sit hy op die bench hier.
@Supa Die Bloubul – Ek onthou presies. Ons sal hom vir jou sag maak die naweek. 🙂
@Ed_the_Lion –
hehehe..ek hoop ook Fudge roer hulle. Ek hoop ook die Bulle en Leeus wen die naweek, maar ek dink altwee ons spanne gaan verloor. Hoop maar ek is verkeerd!
@isigidi – 😆 Sorry Isi. I should behave. I just need to sleep a little.
36 @Stirling Woodcock – Dit is nogal interresant: so skitterend as wat Habana is in S14 finale, so swak is hy in CB finale. Die twee waarin hy betrokke was vir die bulle, was hy regtig nie op sy beste nie. Veral teen die Ctahs het hy gehelp om die game vir die Ctahs te gee met daardie geelkaart. Lyk my die CB ontwyk hom, soos wat die WB die AB’s ontwyk !
@Supa Die Bloubul – Ek dink ook nie ons spanne gaan dit maak nie. 🙁
@K9-MonsterLeeu –
Stem.
@Stirling Woodcock – heard rumors they want to sell the old lady and use gp-staduim mabee they comited that crime
50
50@Supa Die Bloubul – Bietje laat maar goeie probeer slag.
@bdb –
Nog meer rede dat hy op die bank moet sit na die Drie nasies! 😉
@Ed_the_Lion –
Gedink ek gaan te laat wees toe ek 49 post.
@Ed_the_Lion – Tos man, Bulle het net so goeie kans om Sat te wen as WP. Jip, WP is bo aan die log, maar het vêr van untouchable gelyk in die proses.
50/50 I’m telling you.
41 @Ed_the_Lion – gaan goed dankie. Jy moet rus in kry jong, ‘n leeu wat byt is ‘n gevaarlik ding !
43: ja, ons het vir bakkies gedwing om te bly, en kyk hoe goed speel hy nou.
@isigidi – Huh…Bulls supporters with passion gaps?? Never thought I’d see the day. I know the average Bulls supporter has skant regard for his liver, but from what i’ve seen he does cherish a full set of pearly whites.
Vir die rekord, ek glo ook vas dat die lewer booos is. Dus straf ek hom gereeld.
@Ed_the_Lion – Ed….daai wp/sharks game was maar swak hoor. Wp was net die die span wat minder kuk was. Niks gesien wat hulle nou awesome maak nie.
@isigidi – Ek het gesê ek dink so Isi. My mening.
