Mason didn`t receive half a million. We lost the case, but we stood on a matter of principle, which is hard to criticise..

But the judge, Mr Justice Saffman, said there was "clear evidence" the Giants wanted Mason off their books, including emails outlining lucrative transfers to coax the prop away from his team.
167 k plus 35k court costs

Yes they wanted him off the books. On a matter of principle. He had, at least twice, broken player conduct rules.

Sounds like internet hearsay, a court of law ruled different

And you talk about propaganda, So what you are saying then is, to uphold this principal " whatever it was " they decided to cheat and were caught and found guilty. Great managment.

Fair enough, and the principal of illegally poaching a Bradford player ? We wos framed guv.

And when the judge found the Giants guilty of not providing court documents in line with a court order whose fault was that. masons. ?

If a judge says you provide documents you provide them and the Giants didn’t and then had to be ordered again and as a result of that had to pay extra money for trying to avoid giving information to the court.

That is incompetence or naivety of the highest level.

That was nothing to do with principle or Mason.

Or received poor legal advice.
Of course this was all RTs fault- as he alone made the decision you know this as fact yeah?

Just like he made the decision to “let go” all those brilliant players everyone moans about letting go , (but clearly he did not sign those brilliant players in the first place)
oh but he does sign all the poor players..... just none of the good ones.

All those moaning about RT was the reason for signing mellor and how wrong it was signing championship players- then the same ones moaning RT is “letting him go” it’s more than a joke- it’s farcical.

Any you know who made the decision ? More hearsay

Yesterday’s hearing was told that before the Giants’ last-minute disclosure of documents, Mason had offered to drop the case for £100,000.

The Giants offered just £5,000.

Yesterday the judge ordered the Giants to pay Mason’s £146,510 damages within seven days.

The club had previously been told to make a down-payment of £35,000 towards the legal fees but this was paid several days late. The judge ordered a further £5,000 be paid.
