Omar's tweet was merely a factual statement then.

I did have a quick look at what the definition was in the Oxford dictionary. I didn't really have a problem with it to be honest. Pretty much self explanatory

Mason wins the court case, Shuddersfield ordered to pay £167,000 compensation.

Cheered me up reading the verdict.

Maybe signing Koppy cost them a little more than they anticipated.

Am I right in thinking that Cas go to Huddersfield this weekend? lol

Yeah think we should change the thread title to 250k for Kopczak.

Makes mason look a bargain at 95










Before anyone asks that's 170k compensation to Mason, 20k compensation to Bradford and 60k salary to Kopout. A quarter of a million pounds. Shame it doesn't count on the salary cap.

Well that's cheered me up a bit,bit of justice somewhere,maybe they can use our 100k over 2 seasons to help pay it

You lot are lucky to be in super league you should be in championship after wasting all your winnings over the years and going bust twice in 60 years one of the times You did not even finish the season so don't cry about your sky money !

Sweet.

Not only did they tap up Kopout, but they tried to dump on Mason too. And tried to pull the wool over the eyes of the Tribunal.

What with legal fees etc., that's been one expensive day.

Awwwww, bless!

And what kind of position would you guys be in without a sugar daddy backing you all the way? Even with a successful team you can't bring the masses to your place.

Looks like they will be in more poo when the RFL haul them back for lying at a previous hearing about the CK saga .

Mr Justice Saffman, in the Leeds High Court said
“I therefore have no difficulty in finding that the claimant has established, on balance, that this was a wrongful dismissal.”
So then awarded £167,000 to Mr Mason for loss of earnings and the court costs of £35,000 against the club.
The sting in the tail is that the terms of the of Damage Payment will be discussed at a further hearing.

Why do you morons mention Fartown when you haven't supported the club long enough to remember Sheffield Eagles?

Is it just me that remembers lots of hudds fans who posted on here at the who were adamant that their club hadn't made an illegal approach to kopczak. Bit embarrassing for them now their management have admitted it in a court of law .

Does the £167k and the damages payments count towards their salary cap? If so, could be a few players leaving shudders fairly sharpish

This is the T and A, www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... g_Kopczak/ Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand Giants were not found guilty of tapping up but having broken a gentleman's agreement not to poach Bradford's players. There appears to have been some kind of brokered compensation deal which amounted to £20k on the basis the RFL threatened not to register him. With Koppy now saying he agreed on August 8th, this is clear evidence he was tapped up and begs a some interesting questions. 1, Was there a hearing? 2, What was the judgement? 3, What was the evidence given by Kopczak and the Giants?
