Player Luke Metcalf

Nek minit. Ten day cooling off period backflip occurs.

Very Dragons to release the announcement post today. Does that mean the cooling off period expired today and he has signed ten days back?

I believe the club can waive the 10 day cool down. It was brought in to give the current club a chance to change the players mind. Do not think the club wants to do that.

Just to double check, there is no turning back now for Metcalf and the Warriors?

Let’s say he falls over in the shower and does his ACL again, the Dragons have a binding agreement with him? Does he need to pass some medical first?

The most bastard moment for a player would be to go through the most detailed, rigorous medical possible, pass it 100% and as you're walking back to your car, trip on some loose gravel and do your ACL...

I'm sure the Dragons are liable for any rehab once legal documents have been signed by both parties. But if the Dragons are sensible, the signing happens after the medical comes back as 100% as possible.

I think the Warriors paying for Ronald's surgery wasn't legally required but a bit of a PR move to impress people. And maybe Ronald will remember that if he's looking for another club one day and we want what he offers...
