Well, I hope he's signed for us. Looks to have a bit of the dog in him. In a Shayne McMenemy, rather than Joel Monaghan, way.

I think Hull tried to get him on the cheap, but it was always a risk and they realised it and got him to sign a contract.

If he stays I think we will have to pay fee, it will be about the same you paid Kopczak, reckon he is worth 20k

All down to who he wants to play for. If he has signed our contract and it is lodged with the RFL then he's our player despite the protestations from the hudds fan so if he doesn't want to play for us hudds need to cough up some wedge for him






The poor man's bonaire

jools wrote:The thing is hudds have said the same all the way through- they believe a fee is payable if he signs a contract whilst he is 21. - hull keep changing their story in their "official statements" first of all he's definitely signed, then he's signed in principle subject to a medical at the end of the year, and he will sign after his birthday, next that medical took place last week and he has (again) signed. With all these changes in the statements it seems a bit odd don't you think?
His agent was Iestyn Harris- now there's someone who doesn't understand contracts!

Actually the first statement simply said he'd signed. The second statement - in response to the comments from Huddersfield - clarified that he'd agreed a contract in principle subject to a medical (hardly unusual) and if he passed then his contract would be in effect from the end of the season. This last statement simply follows on from that - he had the medical, passed, and signed the pre-agreed contract.

What's gone on in the background is anybody's guess. The RFL doesn't have a stellar record with the clarity or policing of their contract rules and it's entirely possible that all three sides - Huddersfield, Connor, and Hull FC - believe they are in the right. I fact it's even possible that all three have been told by the RFL that they're in the right. :roll:

It'll all come out in the wash eventually.

Yup, sounds spot on, confusion and lack of clarity on all sides. As you say. Will play out however it plays out

..... the press are very good at creating confusion.
Leaking stories and reporting rumours seems to be their bread and butter nowadays.
Not all parties are necessarily at fault here.






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

You do have to wonder how much HDM copy is from these boards!

If there had been dialogue between the clubs prior to the original announcement all this would have been avoided IMO






the future's bright the future's claret and gold
