As you say,it's been known since July so he's had plenty of time to have done it the informal way.

I think there's a time limit on a disciplinary hearing and the penalty given,so the clock has been ticking.

Let's give the club credit for dealing with it decisively

This is probably a legal thing. Sacking him makes it more difficult for him to demand money at a later date.



Best of luck to the team he signs for eventually.

You keep saying you know, but go on to contradict yourself. He cannot have signed for Leigh (salary cap issues aside) while he was still signed to Salford ( which he was, by your own post until this week when he was sacked)



He may have agreed to sign for Leigh, he may have wanted to, but he didn't/couldn't as he was still signed to Salford. You may be "in the know" unlike me but you are simply wrong on employment law ( which I do know about)



Simply put, if he had signed to Leigh in July as you claim on here and the Leigh board, he is no longer an employee of Salford so how can then sack him(which you admit they did)?

RFL rules I do not know, but I have had plenty of experience of representing people and technically discipliary hearings can go on for years, they don't because the person is being paid so the company involved likes to keep it short.



Also it would be illegal to sack someone for being sick, they would have to prove that the person is "not capabable of completing their job description and you had no other rolls they could do within a reasonable time" and that does not apply to Chase. ( if they did he has a cast iron case at an ET)

Sorry Kiyan, but I know many persons dismissed for "being sick", both in my current role and in a previous role where I was a Trade Union official.

The term "being sick" is a loose term an one that covers many headings in HR. However, to the person told to go, it feels the same.

Do we know it was that category used to terminate his contract: or was it one (maybe the last) in a series of disciplinary matters, mostly informal in appearance? I've turned up to represent a member to find out that there has been a disparity in how the member and management have classed previous discussions. Usually to a point where I'm left with little to use.

Where's nottinghamtiger when you want his legal skills !

This thread is going down a blind alley.

We fired him for disciplinary issues,having given him time to leave without having the stigma of being sacked.

Leigh could probably sign him but not register him with RFL due to salary cap issues.

He's gone,finished,fired .

Nothing to contribute.

Only those involved in the procedures know what actually happened. It could be he has been dismissed for a number of disciplinary issues or for gross misconduct following a serious allegation.

If the club have followed the correct procedures, which they have no reason not to, there is no more to be said.

Very late reply, but you cannot under UK law be sacked for being sick. You can be sacked if you fall undef a sickness policy ( eg 3 times in 6 months), but you cannot be sacked for an illness, the company has to prove you have " no reasonable chance of returning to work in a reasonable time frame" before they dismiss you for sickness reasons.. Many cases may be resolved with a confidential agreement, where the TU, the person and company agrees a pay settlement.

Beaumont announces salary cap increase yesterday, Leigh announce signing of Rangi Chase this morning.

Hmm

When we signed Hock and Chase we were warned,but optimism rules,as it should.

It would be very unusual for players not to return to type.

Good luck to Leigh,I hope it works out but I really would be surprised to see a Leigh side in the Superleague with both Hock and Chase still in their ranks

Yes we were also warned about Harris as well.



Looking at this photo of Rangi at Leigh's press conference he looks ecstatic to be leyther doesn't he?

Thought bubble - " West Tigers, St George, Castleford, Salford and now f**king Leigh in the championship" - " I need a better agent"



If this isn't extra motivation for Justin Carney I don't know what is?
