National Rugby League chief executive David Gallop has announced his intention to remove the existing anti-tampering rules after July 1. July�s chief executives� meeting will be used to canvass whether a new regime should be implemented or whether the concept of an anti-tampering date should be dropped entirely. �In truth I think it would take a compelling argument from the clubs for us to recommend to the board the retention of any sort of anti-tampering system going forward but they will have the opportunity to present that case,� said Gallop. �The anti-tampering rules were first introduced to protect the clubs at a time when there was not an effective salary cap. �The arguments were that a player shouldn�t be able to negotiate with another team until he had finished all but the last six months of his existing contract. �The rule is there to protect clubs. The fact is that tampering can only take place if clubs themselves participate in negotiations. �Furthermore the rule can only ever be enforced if clubs take the time to make official complaints rather than media accusations. �Rather than see the same accusations made each year I think we would be better off removing the date for future seasons.�
