Agreed, need to sort this and move on. Lad seems at best a bit immature at worst a poor professional.

He's only done what our coach did albeit in reverse although connor is a bit older. I don't blame the lad as much as his current club and his agent. Time for us to act in a professional manner and move on






The poor man's bonaire

After all the indignation originally spouted from the Giants camp, it seems they're the guilty party here.
Hope the club make a stand, but also hope we resolve this swiftly. If he's not coming we will need to do some more recruitment, and we can't afford to hang about.
Maybe use Michaels quota spot and get a half back in?

Just seems tailor made now for Brough. I'd take a punt despite everything because he's better than what we have or are likely to get elsewhere. He supposedly wants to come and it gives Hudds a way out"

You might have a very valid point, there.

I doubt we have anyone so devious at the club to carry that out but it always seemed an odd signing to me

Now you've said it, it makes perfect sense.
Quite brilliant bit of stealth by Motu!

How are Giants a "guilty party"
We had no idea what had been discussed with you, Connor and that master of contracts himself his agent Iestyn Harris! Mostly because it appears there was no dialogue with your club and his current club.

Offering a contract to a currently contracted player who -according to your second statement- hadn't actually signed a contract with you? Is that it? What exactly are they guilty of? Please tell

Seems to me a naive 21 year old has been used by a terrible agent and two clubs- and tgen threatened with legal action by FC, great start.

The 50k you are allegedly paying him would pay for three youngsters to get a professional contract- it's bonkers!






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