yeh my guess would be that he is not interested in staying and it was an SOS. im sure if he was interested he would have told Joey and he would be signed for next season but seems like he has done his job and plans to head back off. but wouldnt mind seeing him stay, good highlight maker.

Sorry Isaac i was thinking more in terms of Ira Clark, if he knows there is no place for him at the gold coast and he is enjoying Australia then no reason why teams cant speak to him now. I know people are saying his kind of talent goes elsewhere but we have seen players that do enjoy playing here and if we cant get schencher then we should consider putting the money to him??

I thought other clubs could talk to players but with permission from the team the player is currently playing for?? so technically talks could commence as long as the permission was there or is that completely wrong?

I think Ira came out cause he likes & is friends with Joey & answered his SOS. The money here is laughable for such a talent. He'll move on but thanks for the cameo - he can seriously dominate!!

Skud, opposition teams can't talk to players until 2 weeks after the grand final is done. The Blaze can talk to Ira Clark all they like about re-signing whereas Sydney, Adelaide etc can't. Its also why I seriously doubt we'd get a guy like Luke Schenscher. Other than the Crocs looking like finishing the regular season in 2nd compared to our 8th or 9th, they could re-sign him tomorrow and there is nothing anyone else hoping to talk to him can do about it.

I'll give the NBL one thing on that rule, it seems to gives team a chance to identify their best talent and keep them with the club rather than what a guy like Schenscher has done so far in the NBL which is 3 teams in 3 seasons. The rule seems to be aimed at clubs having a Brett Maher / Mark Davis type of player, a 'franchise player' so to speak. Imagine if Sydney could lock up Julian Khazzouh or the Breakers locking up Kirk Penny for at least the next 5 years? Its a chance to build on what they have and it stops other clubs poaching their stars, provided they fit under the salary cap/points system of course.
