Jaque Fourie might have won his arbitration case against the GLRU, and Louis Ludik and Willem Alberts have shown interest on moving to the Sharks, but everybody seems to be missing what is really wrong in this whole debacle.
No PROVINCE, CLUB or UNION is allowed to approach any player, or enter into negotiations with a player without the written consent of the current union of the approached player.
The only scenario where a player can be approached without consent, is if it’s within 120 days of the expiry of the player’s current contract.
This was not the case with Fourie, Ludik or Alberts.
At no point, did either Province or the Sharks, ask for written consent from the GLRU, and as SARU regulations stipulate, any Province approaching a player without written consent is in breach of SARU regulations.
EXTRACTS FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN RUGBY UNION REGULATIONS PLAYER STATUS, PLAYER CONTRACTS AND PLAYER MOVEMENT
An intended Transferee who wishes to negotiate the terms and conditions of the movement of a Player contracted with an intended Transferor or before the Player’s contract has expired, shall in writing request permission from the intended Transferor to enter into negotiations with the Player concerned or his Agent. No negotiations, directly or indirectly, are permissible prior to obtaining the said permission.
An intended Transferee may negotiate the transfer of a Contract Player from an intended Transferor to an intended Transferee and may enter into negotiations with the Player concerned within a period of 120 days prior to the expiry date of a Player’s contract, without seeking any permission as set out above.
A Province, Club, Player or Agent may file a written complaint concerning the breach of these regulations to the CEO with notice to the alleged offender. It is the duty of a Province and Club to investigate, as soon as it is reasonably practicable, each and every alleged breach of these regulations within its jurisdiction and to report its findings to the CEO in writing.
Should any Province, Club, Player or Agent be in breach of any of these regulations, the matter shall be adjudicated in accordance with the provisions of the Disciplinary and Judicial Matters Regulations.
A Province, Club, Player or Agent which is found to have been in breach of any of these regulations, shall be guilty of an offence and subject to sanction as provided for in the Disciplinary and Judicial Matters Regulations.
Why the GLRU have not yet investigated or requested an investigation into this matter is a mystery. The Sharks and Province should, and must answer to a Judicial disciplinary and must be found guilty.
No regulations were followed and the integrity of the Sharks and Province must be questioned. At no point did they respect the regulations that was put in place for a reason. The GLRU, no matter what they do, always seem to get the blame for being unproffesional and incompetent. It does seem to raise questions why the Lions and Bulls, have managed to maintain a mutual relationship, in respect of loaning players, and contracting from one another. It’s done above board, and the system and regulations are respected.
Maybe it’s time for unions like the Sharks and Province to look at their own home and decide if they are acting in the true spirit of the game.
146 – Puma, what I am really worried about is that I will be way too old to meet Percy!!
Good Grief, you used to rub shoulders with him!!!!! Faint…….No good asking you if he was cute in real life!! Heheheheh 😉
#144 If thats true, maybe I wont go…was hoping becasue its a mid week match they might be more relaxed and let people on.
My brother and his friend ran onto Loftus during a match once. The his friend slapped Tana Umaga on his ass…hehe Was a s14 game, Bulls vs Hurricanes.
149 – I only watch Sky and BBC World News. CNN sometimes.
Never watch SABC crap. Watched it once and they got it wrong with Hernandez too.
E-tv 24 hour news not bad at all. Watch it sometimes but mostly Sky. Then the others.
Also read the overseas papers online much better than our own.
Carol, Percy might hit you of you get to close! 😆
did you hear Joost admitted to his drug and sex scandal?
147 – How do you find terrestrial TV here? Or are you just a Sky Sport man?
#153 I never really use to watch SABC or E-TV. Crap those free channels. Only DSTV channels. Did watch a bit of Orkney Snorkie and Vetkoekpaleis on SABC though…hehe
151 – Don’t ask me if he was cute in real life Carol. I would never know. He seemed a nice oke and always had his family with for the sunday lunch at the clubhouse.
They now live in Cape Town. Not sure if they sold there house here think somehow they kept it. Maybe for holidays. Not sure. Many of the rugby players live in this estate Carol. I don’t like to mention it here though who live here and who don’t.
#155 I dont even have TV over here. I dont watch TV at all. I watch only sport and CSI.
All available on my PC through internet.
Thought about getting SKY and realised I would just waste my money with these expensive TV Licences here and a monthly SKY subsrciption.
Willa i see you have a blog on News24, Hear the roar.
Only one comment so far , had to laugh.
“Who cares? as long as you guys keep Earl Rose there for the next 20 years we will all be grateful. Only the Lions and the Div wants him anyway”
Dean.
156 – Supa, I only mostly watch the sport on DSTV. Not much else. So many, many channels and I don’t think much of what is on.
Do like the history channel, travel channel and some others.
#159 I saw that as well and had a chuckle!
Supa, I would give Percy one of my ‘Frosty Pom Lady Looks’ and he would be terrified!! We Pom ‘Ladies’ can be quite intimmidating!!
Look if you jump the fence at Wembley, I will follow you…..!! Just make sure we are near the bench because Percy will be in the vicinity holding Morne’s little kicking stand!!
#160 Puma
The investigation channels are quite good. Watched Kyk-net as well and MK89. Travel, National Geopgrapic also not bad. But, mainly SPORT!
Puma, in true ‘stalker mode’ Monty fan from Keo (A gorgeous English Blonde, who currently lives in Cape Town) and I went to Camps Bay and took our photos infront of Percys House!! (Sadly he was in Durban at the time)!!!
See what I mean about my timings!! Heheheheh
Puma #160 I watch the fashion channel
#162 haha…I will tackle Percy for you, crack his old ribs and then you can look after him and tend to his wounds and injuries. 😆
superBul, the first quote I saw about Earl Rose was “My granny can run faster than Earl Rose”. Made me laugh anyway!!
See G10 saying on the otherside that BOD not going to the Lions anymore. He is just too expensive. So Lions do lose out as they lost JF and no BOD coming.
#167 Have you seen the “Earl Rose is kak” Facebook group?
One guy there reckons, he kicks better with his left nut than Earl with his left foot.
166 Supa – Wow, cunning plan, the best Idea I have heard all week. Shall I pack my Nurses Costume?
I may have to tell him to lie still as I have to loosen his clothing!! Hahahah
165 – Boerboel………hehehehe. That was funny 😆
My daughter when she visits me watches it.
Carol #170 Here comes the geriatric dating thing again!!!!
carol and Boerboel tell me is Sarah still alive there at Voldys place. Hope she did not commit suicide because the Bulls won. She sounded very unhappy about the Bulls, o and Skoppie. I must go there and have a look what Sparticus said o and Tacitus must be on a roll now. Tell me where to find them please.
170 – Carol, the only way you going to get to meet him Carol 😆 Supa has the plan. 😀
#170 😆
Just tell him you “dont want to take any risks” and its best that he removed everything!
168 Puma, ‘Voldy’ is very ‘Hardcore rugby’ today…..I was hoping they might lighten up a bit!! Heheheheh
I know when I am out of my depth!! So I have watched from the wings, shame some of my fave Keo bloggers are there but all being very focused! Coach Pete has popped in too, he is a nice guy!
hello brudda , hello caroline , hello supadupa , hiyas boerboel
#174 That way we both win. I get to tackle the shit out of Percy and she gets to look after him!
SB #173 Sarah seems to reading most of the times these days and just chip in from time to time. Still the most mature blogger! She survived the Bulls victory.
Hi Boerboel, I do not like my name and ‘geriatric’ in the same sentence thank you very much!! What are you trying to tell me?? 😉
