I`m new here after losing patience with some of the idiots who post on the T&A forum.
I think Koppy has looked after himself and rightly so, but how must the coaching staff who have worked on a voluntary basis feel. a real kick in the teeth. Well done Huddersfield for breaking the code the RL implemented in saying no contracted players should be approached. They scavenged Wakefield if I remember rightly. What about a transfer fee?

Various Shuddersfield supporters seem to have assumed that Koppy has been nailed on for them for some time.

Bit strange for a player still in contract?

Bit strange when the clubs supposedly agreed not to seek to poach Bulls players?

Wonder if he was "cohersed" in any way?

Gale to follow shortly????

Hard not to wonder if something has gone badly wrong up at Odsal in the last couple of weeks. Burgess suddenly disappearing from the squad, the drubbing by Hull and now Koppy quitting the side that has been so tight all season?

Also why aren`t the RL ratifying the new ownership quickly, this dragging on does not help OK to get the players signed up.

Gutless Pratt didn't even have the guts to tell Mick Potter and left it to his agent.

And why would he tell Guilfoyle, he doesn't run the club no more does he?

Seems Kopczak has refused to be TUPE'd to the new co, which is his right, so there's not much to be done there.

Doubt there's much redress to be had against Shudds either, as they've (allegedly) simply breached a "gentleman's agreement" between the clubs. Though no doubt such behaviour will be remembered in the future...

Bulls will still hold his registration so he can't play anyway and the RFL will surely not release him that easily from it? I wonder if he's been advised by a certain Leeds based Solicitor??

Desperately poor form from a Bradford lad.

Considering the state the club's in and the importance of the club to the city for a kid who's come through our own academy to do this is very disappointing.

As a fervent non-booer I'm prepared to make an excpeption in this case

I wonder whether he had a deal in place for more money with the expectation that SL Europe would secure the club. That would have meant he was free to take up his new improved deal elsewhere. Now OK want to transfer his existing contract and terms over and he isn't happy.

One thing's for sure we don't want to be paying lawyers any brass trying to sort it out.

If he wants to go, let him go. One less on the wage bill.

Spot on. Wonder how much his agent is to blame in all this. Why not wait till the dust has settled to leave, or is it done this way to get Hudds out of paying a transfer fee! this leaves a nasty taste particularly him being a Bradford Lad.

Is there a plus side hiding in this though? If he has had to cancel his contract (or probably more accurately not have it transferred to OK BullS) before todays game, does this mean that those with 2013 contracts who are playing have already transferred over? Would they have to have contracts signed up with OK Bulls to play?

What time is kick off today?
