Quote: roofaldo2 "The thing is, even if another club wanted to sign Kopout they would still have to approach Bradford regarding his registration. So either he accepts the TUPE, though I'm not sure he can now he's handed in his resignation, the Bulls get a transfer fee, or Kopout sits out a year without pay.'"
Not at all, the only club/s who would have a problem are any club/s who broke the RFL gentlemens' agreement. It is the RFL who either agree to or refuse to accept registrations, it is a matter for them, and not for the club. Like Leeds could not stop Bradford getting Harris's registration.
If Kopczak is a free agent, then it wouldn't be an issue for any club who wanted to sign him. You could say that the former category of club would be viewed as sinners but the latter as saints.
