Yes decent signing, good strength in depth up front next season.

CK's little comment seems to be the words of a man having had his actions exonerated. No mention of any fee either and I am pretty sure OK would have gone public if there had been one.

Nonetheless stand by for a tidal wave of ill informed bile from Bradford way

Solid signing by Paul Anderson, very promising looking pack for next season.

Welcome to the Giants Craig Kopczak!

I'm liking how PA has gone with the pack- nice mix of experience, youth, size and mobility next season in our forwards- be interesting to see how he utilises that.
Tbh Durham the sun are about as reliable as the T & A- but I think if there was an issue we would have heard by now- for all we know a quiet agreement could have been come to by both clubs.

I am quite confident that the SUN has got it spot on. They will have hacked RT and OKs phones so will have got it straight from the horses mouth.

A silly statement Durham?

Good riddance Kopout.

Only if you are an American and do not understand Irony !

we finally get our man!!! and without a fee or tapping up....where are the bradford fans now slating us???

A lot of "thought" and "understanding" going on by journalists- but no confirmation. Not a great deal of accurate reporting either- apparently koppy had a contract with the stadium.......
I'm sure mr Davy has helped the bulls out further as that's the type of guy he is-
The giants have done nothing wrong. They've got their man!
What a forward pack we have for next season.

We have done well to get his signature.Was thinking when he became a free agent,Leeds,Hull FC or one of the Lancs clubs might have tried to tempt him.

Welcome to the Giants CK.

and yet the news reported on the RFL site states a fee has been paid. If nothing had been paid I'd find it odd they'd put that up on their own site.
We'll never hear what happened and Bradford have probably been paid to drop the issue rather than the RFL having to make a judgement.

There is one person who posts on here,who I'm pretty sure would know for definite about a fee or no fee,but he seems to be having a holiday from this board just at the present time.

I think I know who you mean, but has currently been banned for a misdemeanour

That's just the same news feed as elsewhere verbatim and almost certainly doesn't originate from the RFL

Also it still only says "is thought to have been paid"

Again add in by lazy journalists relying on Internet forums

Given in every other circumstance it says "paid an undisclosed sum"

have you seen some of the bitter comments from the OKB board - i nearly wet myself laughing at some of them !!!

Me too, what a sad, pathetic lot the Dulls are, talk about sour grapes. If they'd paid his wages on a regular basis he might have stayed. They didn't and he wasn't too happy (who can blame him) so he chose to not sign a new contract and seek employment elsewhere. Neither he nor Fartown have done anything wrong as far as I can see so why all the tears and bitterness from the "hard done by" Dulls fans. Think they should all get a grip, get over it, move on and stop whingeing, we owe you naff all.

The bitterness is high because he is a good player - will be a great asset to us - younger than I thought too - plus has leadership skills.

Think Lunt and Robbo will be licking their scrambling lips...

Just been confirmed by management at bulls fans forum that you did pay a fee for koppy.

I bet they did not say how much

Indeed,all the good riddance/eff off Kopczak really means they wanted so badly for him to stay.

Kopczak of all people now modelling the Fartown retro jersey as well

He was paid without fail and if he was free to leave the club and you did nothing wrong then I wonder why you paid a fee.
