Think this dispute will only end one way and its going to be a particularly nasty one I'd guess at the moment.
The TUPE laws might cover the contractual side, but as Garreth knows full well from his previous time at Hull FC, its the registration document with the RFL that is important...
I wonder if he fully remembers signing the last contract with Hull FC under duress before his agent told him to withdraw it, only to discover he couldn't due to it being registered at Red Hall? Amazing how that has not been mentioned in any of the posts I've read.
I also wonder if he'll remember being told that he'd end up rotting in the reserves until nobody had room in the cap unless someone forked out a transfer fee? Again something that has conveniently been missed off.
Finally, I wonder if Garreth will remember turning up to the recent fans photoshoot at Odsal 2days after the transfer of club assets to the newco? He certainly seemed quite happy then wearing all his Bulls kit proudly
I would have surely thought that someone unhappy in their employment and potentially in dispute would have given that kind of thing a miss???
Or perhaps its just the fact that Andy Clarke fancied another payday like he did with various other players???
Either way, I hope for the sake of both clubs this is resolved quickly so that we can all move on to more important business.
Roll on next week
