Club xyz has signed say 5 players on 2 year contracts for say $600 - $800 a game this year. New rules for next year $500 a game max and $3k week therefore club xyz is in breach of the new rules, does the club have a position to argue from in that they have signed contracts to honour? What is the validity of these contracts and could player then challenge said club or SACFL in a court of law?
