If the players hadn't been getting paid we would of heard,yes it's been paid late in the last few months but still got it.Carvells contract with the Bulls would of started on 1st December 2013 so only 2 pay days since then and as far as we know they have been paid
What's a reasonable time period though? Do we know the players weren't informed? Do we know if Carvell's made the correct legal moves within the correct time frame? Lots of assumptions being made here.
I'd imagine that employment law is heavily on Hull / Carvell's side here but it was also on Rovers / Cooke's side. How similar is this to the Huddersfield / Kopczak situation? Legal route doesn't benefit anybody & Hull want their man quickly, suspect they'll settle on a fee.

Bradford can make it very difficult if they want and I expect they are because they want a fee but they don't want an unsettled player who will unsettle the squad if made to stay so it will be a fine balance between how long can Bradford keep going and how quickly do Hull want the player.
I guess it all depends on how the RFL see it and what case Carvell can make, If I was Mr Pearson I would make a small offer of a fee 20/30k that would save face for Bradford and would get the player much quicker, but that's just me.
The bottom line is that we don't know anything. It's all pure speculation.
The only thing we do know for sure is that Bradford announced in the early afternoon of 31st January that there was to be no points deduction, something the players will have taken into account when making their decisions.

The most most obvious comparison would be with Kopczak. Prior to the Keith Mason case, obviously.
The RFL, naturally enough, focus on registration rules rather than contract law. As long as Carvell informed Bradford he wasn't happy to have his contract transferred before discussions began with Hull, or nobody can prove otherwise, I can't see that the RFL will do much.

LOL at Little General Zodling on the Bradford board.
General Zod on the Bull's board. wrote:Hull FC are a desperate club with a desperate owner and a desperate coach hence why they are talking about other club's contracted players on their website.
It's all a result of poor off-season recruitment and poor pass sales.
Don't see why Carvell or Gale would want to go to FC when their owner has already started his transition into football and he'll be jumping ship from FC before you can say "Leeds Utd".
