Quote: GIANT DAZ "As for the tapping up,we were wristslapped but no charges were brought against us and we paid Bradford £20,000 in compo for Koppy on the request of the RFL as they wouldnt register him with us until.'"
Was this before or after the RFL took ownership of the iconic hole in the hill, Daz?
It seems to be common knowledge that players get tapped up all the time - we were adamant that Solo was tapped up, and took our case to the RFL; to no avail, as it turned out - so you could probably count yourselves unlucky on that score. That said, it's still a nasty practice.
I'll keep my powder dry until the case has been decided, but the way it's been reported in your local press, the evidence seems to stack up very much against the defendant, circumstantial though a lot of it appears to be, from the articles linked above.
