Whilst in Oz, he found out what the Oz players were getting and tried to renegotiate. FC had prior agreed to let him stay with the Tigers till the end of their season, which he did. On his return he refused to play for Hull until they agreed new terms. FC stuck to their agreed deal and I believe he was sold to Leeds in October. Hence the original “Judas”. Great player and a pity he didn’t finish his career at Hull.
Thanks for that. Never heard about this in Aus so never fully knew how the Judas association came about. Lee Crooks also departed for Leeds in the same year for a world record fee at the time(150K?). Losing these 2 great players must have been a massive disappointment for the supporters.

Schoey was off like a rat up a drainpipe, Lee was dragged kicking and screaming from the Boulevard, he loves his home town team Fred to this day, as you say a massive disappointment at the time, without doubt, our board probably skint once again.

Strange one - 4 quota spots used in the backs - Bureta, Carlos, Mahe, Albey.
