Any truth in it, if he has bet I know we're he has gone! Apparently the bulls new legal team are seeing what they can do, can't see them being able to do anything?

Confirmed

Very disappointed with his timing of this, I can only assume there has been a dummy spit over something? I can understand players wanting to secure their employment but still very surprised with the timing of this.

Big loss to our forward pack, I can only see further pain to come unfortunately. We need a decision one way or another now on SL.

Sad thing is Im sure he's not going to be the last! Luke gale is supposed to be poised to do the same, with his destination being the same!

No great loss. Average at best.

Print version of T&A apparently..

I am disappointed with Koppy.

The saga of the bulls future is finally sorted and he does a bunk.

Huddersfield are winning many bulls over with their recent behaviour!

I hope this is the only player to go down this route

I agree, Eddie. He's hardly a bone crunching, rampaging prop forward.
He's replaceable for sure.

However, it still stinks the way this has happened, and if he can't stick with us for another couple of weeks till we know where we are, TBH, I don't want a kind of player that shows no loyalty to his club or team mates playing for us.

Hopefully win this and stick him up for sale.

Pretty disappointed over this as is my dad who used to coach Koppy. Both annoyed at the timing of this but I suppose he needs to secure his future. However technically he is breach of contract if he just terminates so if we win the legal battle we keep his registration but don't pay him (due to said breach) and he sits in the stands all year. (is that right or have I got it wrong somewhere)?

Huddersfield want around 3-5 players. If they get them, they get them. Shows the type of club they are and tbh I will cheer on any team playing against them even if it is Leeds. Sh*t team, sh*t club.

If he had done this at the end of the season I don't think we would have a problem with it to be honest. Anyway I know it's my imagination running wild but I hope we win, Salford win and we go far in the playoffs

Likewise disappointed with Koppy.

It would be fair if their was a contract offer ready "if" we didn't retain our super league status but as that isn't the case yet I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the right to terminate his contract! But I'm not a lawyer though.

Last thing we need is contracted players leaving along with the 17 out of contract...

So has he been induced to break a contract? At least we know the going rate for that.

I thought it was TUPE to OK Bulls which he can simply decline to do, so no breach of contract. If its classed as TUPE as has been mentioned on another thread then technically they are all out of contract, from their side of the equation anyway.

well, i would of liked koppy to stay but if the player doesnt want to play then there is no point fighting for him. Good luck to the lad, has improved a lot but would have liked him to be loyal and see if where in super league.

Hope we try and sign Fielden, I know he's getting old but I presume he would like to finish his career at the Bulls. Sign him up for 2-3 years if Wigan don't offer him a new contract. Tackled his ar*e off last night, was top tackler before he was removed. Got angry at being taken off which shows passion and desire to play. And also when he ran he bounced 2-3 players so still has got some fight.

Atm he's ideal replacement for Kopczak
