As Turner did not sign anything, he may be able to argue (successfully?) that acceptance of the offer was never clear or certain. Certainly if no other method is prescribed, the method of acceptance must take the same form as the method of the offer, now I would presume the offer came in writing.
This isnt going to be clear cut as there are so many angles to it, however, at end of the day, neither club nor the NRL really has much to gain by forcing the player to do anything. Perhaps for the Tits its just a matter of chest beating and they need to be seen to be mixing it with the big boys on their own terms...
No one will win this one if he sits out 3 years.
