Stuart MacGill suing CA for $2.6m

[weekend at bernies]

Didn't stop him from playing Big Bash

 

[bombersfan4000]

They're set out in legislation.

No wonder every one is suing. I bet those interest rates are set by some stupid gover employees

 

[CheekyMonkey]

going straight for the mother-load. good on ya stuey.

Yeah nah. When people are deciding whether to start court proceedings, "well the statutory rate of interest is fairly generous" is rarely one of the factors that they consider

 

[Parquet Court]

needs a shoulder reconstruction after having that chip on it for all those years

 

[Kram]

Both CA and MacGill are experienced campaigners.

 

[JUBJUB]

This is why he has no Friends anymore

Oh so he should have sued them while he was still on the payroll?

If you don't ask - you don't get - out of court settlement financial details suppressed coming up. Fwiw, I had the pleasure of having a night in his company at the Randwick Rugby Club almost 20 years ago - he is no fool, calls a spade a spade, but I enjoyed the fact that he was prepared to explain his position on anything with a more than reasonable argument.

Certainly one cricketer I would quite like to meet. Seems like a pretty rational kind of person.

A very rational person and genuinely a good bloke.

Just don't make him angry. You won't like him when he is angry.

Why would cricket aus negotiate a contract like this.

Didn't see much of it that night but we did delve into his altercation with Rod Davison the season before as Davo and his dad had been at Randwick prior to going to Sutherland. Donged him after the semi I think.

wouldn't it be standard?

 

[Vulture_72]

Why has he taken nearly six and a half years to make this claim, though? You'd think if this was money that he was genuinely owed, and he was making his living from cricket, that he would have been right onto it at the time it was not being paid, or soon after.

Can't help but think Stu's separation from his wife may have left the money tree a little bear. Also likely held off on making the claim to make sure half of any compo paid didn't go straight into the ex's bank account.

Let's have the players running through the forest in the middle of the night. Then when somebody inevitably gets hurt, we'll deny liability and skip out on the injury compensation.

But Stuart MacGill is the bad guy...

If it's compo for earnings from when he was still married, would she still not be entitled to half that?

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Love the keyboard warriors automatically labeling MacGill a plonker, based on a legal case they have almost zero details about.

And yet, the one guy in the thread that has actually MET him, claims that he seems like a good bloke.

Ahh... big footy

Can I call a Friend ?.

 

[QAFL_Fan]

He was also injured on that infamous boot camp, which basically ended his career.

So he was injured in training, taking part in a boot camp under the directive of CA - not playing cricket.

His claims are very well grounded.

a contract where if you don't get picked you still get match payments

I would've been grateful if I was able to play for Australia...
