Not got stuff like that floating about have you Jools??

We tapped up Kopczak and had to agree to a settlement to appease the RFL does that look good for the club ?

and as for the rest of your post which bit of my post which says



do you not understand

as for the mooning picture and the accounts given in court it seems as if the club were looking for a reason to get rid of Mason.

We were quite happy to keep Griffin after he clobbered a girl in a taxi and threatened to beat up another Giants player if the said players girlfriend gave evidence against him, bringing the club into disrepute was not such an issue there

At least masons solicitors are trying to make out they were...

Reading through it myself, It does seem like Mason and his team have a pretty solid case against you. The fact you had already sign CK - And had to pay a compensation fee for tapping him up too doesn't help you.

Could be a costly case.

Worst decision was to give him such a lucrative contract in the first place. I thought Thewlis was supposed to be a shrewd operator?

According to The Examiner Keith Mason has won his case

i agree, 95k a year for keith mason is a joke, no wonder they wanted to get out of that one!!

thewlis might end up getting the sack... the club has not come out of this well

Bye bye Thewlis?

saw it coming... we wanted rid, he was a bad egg.

thewlis could be in serious trouble

How can such an average player get such a lucrative contract and then get a whopping pay off into the bargain too when the club come to their senses and realise what they've done?

Very poor management from the Giants

That £165k payout has to come out of the Giants cap over the lifetime of what would have been Masons contract.

If we were at 99.3% of salary cap there may have to be some big reductions this year and next to balance the books.

This is not on the same scale as the Bulls had with Iestyn but bad enough.

I dont expect us to be seeing anymore new players announced apart from Bailey and Broughton.

The legal advice the Giants got sounds pretty poor to me. On the basis of what i have read i thought that Mason would have had a good case ( i would have taken it on). To the let it go to court and all the embarrassment that has come out of that sounds like complete folly to me.

Whoever was responsible needs a firm ass kicking

Oh dear, someone cocked up big time within the Giants - doubt heads will roll but this is pretty serious letting it get to this point, surely someone must have clocked that what was happening was wrong.

On top of poor ticket sales, lack of crowds etc this is going to hurt us even more !

It beggars belief that Mason was ever paid that sort of money. And that reason for sacking him came straight of the Beano. Someone needs to be relieved of their duties. They are clearly not fit for their job.

As i have posted previously the rumor i have heard is that Lunt is going to the Rhinos for next season
Could that be now even more plausible?

No
