Josh Addo-Carr visits Canterbury Bulldogs facilities despite committing to Storm for 2021
By WWOS staff
6 hours ago

Despite reports earlier this month Josh Addo-Carr was poised to stay at Melbourne for another season following the club's grand final win, the Storm flyer was spotted at Belmore on Tuesday afternoon.

Addo-Carr took a tour of Canterbury's facilities part of the Storm star's search for a new Sydney club for the 2022 season.

The Sydney Morning Herald obtained exclusive photos of Addo-Carr arriving at Belmore Sports Ground for a meeting with Canterbury officials.

The club had a chance to sell their vision to the star with Addo-Carr seen taking it all in with his manager Mario Tartak. The Bulldogs believe Addo-Carr can be their fullback for the coming years and see him as a marquee signing.

Addo-Carr tried to negotiate a release for next season due to family reasons but the Storm wanted a player in return with the Wests Tigers unable to find a suitable swap deal that would entice the 2020 premiers.

Addo-Carr had signed a heads of agreement to join the Tigers on a four-year deal had he gained an immediate release. However, that arrangement only applied if he was available for next season, so he can still field offers from other clubs.

If smith has a chit season next year with the Storm, Storm might think we dudded them and make it hard for JAC to join us in 2022

They don't have a choice who he goes to come November 2021. He'll be a free agent and can do whatever he wants.

UNLESS we sign JAC this year for 2022 (seeing as no one can sign him for 2021 thanks to that stupid letter of intent or whatever its called with the Ninth Tigers), I still think we got dudded releasing Reimis.

Because for some reason, only God knows why, he signed a letter of intent/heads up agreement stating/agreeing that if he is released from his contract now he intends to sign with the Ninth Tigers for 4 years.

Seems like he realised he fucked up and is stating put for now so he doesn't have to join that merged mess of a club. But he's free to do what he wants if he stays with the Covid club for 2021.

Anyone know if signing a letter of intent/heads up agreement holds any legal value? Does he lawfully have to abide by that, or is it not worth the paper it's written on?

I don't think there is any legal requirement to honor a heads of agreement basically its like a handshake. but...
" The reality is that a Heads of Agreement could be either binding or not. However, generally the intention is that the Heads of Agreement is not binding in relation to the “key terms of a proposed agreement between parties”, but is binding in relation to such matters as “exclusivity, confidentiality, due diligence and intellectual property”. in legal jargon even the lawyers cant decide if it is or isn't so far from it for us to decide what is right or wrong

Thank you.

Sounds messy. If I were in that situation I wouldn't chance it and leave it for another year to play it safe. I also wouldn't sign ANYTHING until I'm 100% certain.
