And I can't believe that in this day and age of sport's science and analysing all aspects of the game to the nth degree in the hope of gaining every small advantage possible......that coaches/clubs aren't enforcing (i.e. making it contractual) a fornication window between say February and May (or maybe even March/April for more certainty) just to ensure players aren't tempted to make the wrong choice and be there at their kids birth as opposed to missing a regular season game of NRL.

Seems crazy to me that it isn't happening.

Some people on this forum probably have a fornication window that closes for 6 months or more of the year

Depends - when does league implement the age cutoff for underage competition? If it's the start of the season, then top players will want their progeny to be born early on in the season to maximise the kid's chance of being a successful league player in the 20 years time (see Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers").

I really would do that re Kelly because lets face it Kelly is a crap player but you have plenty of trades whereas I don't so all I can do is hope he flukes a try haha.
