I can’t recall the exact wording of it but during the Messi free transfer saga and more recently the Fury v Wilder rematch clause there is a legal term which means during unprecedented situations such as Covid which had a statutory change to competition then that clause can still be activated at the end of a certain time period extended over and above the original date.
Given the Grand Final will not long since have been played I would expect regardless any such clause to still be live as per the original agreement anyway.
It's probably logical to think that the date would "slide" with the season i.e if JH needed to inform the club 3 months from the end of the season, then that 3 month window would slide to fit in with the revised calendar.
It would be almost negligent by the club, if they'd allows it to be open ended, or even open to discussion after the season had wrapped up. The club themselves need time to find a suitable replacement. I'm a big IL supporter btw and I doubt he'd ever let that happen.
We're almost exactly one calendar month off the end of the season and with there being very little talk of any NRL interest, I can't see him joining an NRL side for free.
