When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



Quote: richie166 "To be fair to Hudds (If it is them) you can't leave the players for ever, there's got to be a cut off time where you say enough is enough.'"


Yes, but the club have new owners and it seems that the Bulls will be remaining as an SL club and the player was contracted for a further year before he decided to not bother sticking with the club who taught him his trade.

IF the club's future was still up in the air or if the players has been in the same boat that the staff had been (ie not paid since June and working for what's best for the club) or if it'd be announced the club was to be demoted then this move COULD be justifiable and would be prudent, however it seems he'd rather break his contract and go for a bigger pay day elsewhere.

And given it was inducing a player to break a contract was what caused the whole Harris affair (the court case of which, Bradford LOST) I do hope that the player's new club has a good lawyer.

The employee had a contract until 2013 with a company who couldnt pay its bills in 2012. He decided not to be TUPEd to the new company.

or maybe he is allowing gentles' better knowledge of signing a player on top of the 6 or 7 players we have already signed up for next season and are to be announced in the next month, starting with holdsworth this week

Not completely true, the main out going of the club, the players wages, were fully paid every month. Same can't be said for the coaching staff and back office staff who've been working for free. Kopczak's move is a slap in the face to them and to the club that brought him up in the game. And I hope the club who induced him to take this move never have to go through a similar situation to Bradford as I don't think the absorption of a club from Sheffield will save them that time

If it turns out to be Huddersfield then it wont be the first time this season. there were some very shadowy practices around their poaching of anthony mullaly from us a few months back.

Indeed, Huddersfield were the vulture that took the most advantage out of our situation when we were in the brown stuff. As they were when Sheffield were in peril.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:



Peter Gentle signs 1 yr extension with Hull FC...here now til 2015.

You deserved it

& no different than happens to any club and happened to the giants many times.

Additionally why should a player show loyalty to a club, clubs won't show any in return.
