Firstly, Folau played more years as a professional athlete in other codes than he did in NRL / League, my personal opinion is someone in the twilight of their career deserves a contract / 2nd chance if they have been a NRL /League stalwart of the game, not merely code hoping to make maximum bucks. You can’t tell me there aren’t players currently available who would show more commitment to performing at their peak vs the lackluster efforts Folau has shown on the paddock in his last 2 “professional” athlete contracts to both clubs and sponsors. If he wants a 2nd chance maybe he should try union after all majority of his “professional” athlete career was in that code.

As for transfers, NRL to NRL should impose a % say 10-20% of the total worth of the players contract with the new club as a transfer payment, and this should be part of the salary cap. So leaving one club to earn more money is possible but at a premium, the game should just designate a transfer window where no transfer payments apply if parties can come to an agreement.
