[QUOTE="unrated, post: 808523, member: 45773"] I have been saying this for months now. If the clubs introduce transfer fees they will create two possibilities. 1. It will deter off other clubs because they would not be signing them for free but would have to pay a fee. Then there is the cost of the contract, this has to be good enough to make it an offer that is too good to turn down (which is not much for the European clubs actually) 2. If the player wants to leave the club can gain funds through the fee acquired. They can then invest it in securing their other star players with steady contracts or they can invest in a suitable replacement. Economically this seems like a good option for the franchises but there never seems to be any contract buyouts. The South African clubs will simply release a player even if he has 3 years left on his contract if that player wanted to leave. Its good for the players but bad for the clubs and fans of Super Rugby. [/QUOTE]
