Quote: Durham Giant "Bodgy was deemed as not as important to the team not asking for more money.
Connor went because our chief exec thought he could sign him on cheaply and that if club came in for him they would have to pay us compensation as such he thought he had Connor over a barrel. Which unfortunately they didn’t . When our chief exec realised that he tried to get Connor to stay by offering extra money but buy then he had signed a contract with Hull and we would have had to pay £100k to get him back when we could have just offered him a decent salary in the first place.
As for Mason the fact that he was an booty is irrelevant. Trying to sack him unfairly was. Failing to send documents to court and ignoring court orders which led to extra costs being awarded against the club is unforgivable.'"
If my memory serves me correctly Connor at the time was still a junior and the club appealed to the R L Board and were awarded a pretty decent sum.I am not 100% sure at this time how much as I stated earlier it was strange there was quite a kerfuffle over the whole business..
I will try and find my old files and get back on this and other things related to it among other pieces of info..I dont hold out much hope though as I will have to sort through 2.000 discs.
