I do think the medical has been failed and the board have jumped on it quickly as they've realised the cock up in signing him in the first place.

For the first time ever I'd rather read a Crocker thread, as this is just embarrassing!

There was a strong chance he'd go down when they signed him though so that theory is out the window.

I reckon the announcement was released sharpish to get it out of the way before Reardon was sentenced today. If he had been given a custodial sentence and THEN we announced his release on medical grounds it would have looked even worse.

Several of our current squad would fail a medical right now but they are given rehabilitation. The board have come under criticism and needed to try and save face. If Readon is given a custodial sentence tomorrow how would the club react to having one of their players sent to prison. Maybe its me but i have no trust in our board at the moment. This story stinks of a cover up.

Why give rehabilitation to a player who has been brought in to cover players who are already in rehabiltation??

Seems to me Rule is just a messenger boy and he never got the message about readon until after the show.

Lets be honest, in the "could have looked worse" category, its like chucking a cup full of water off the Titanic " 'Cos that icebergs looking dodgy Captain"!

Strange things are happening at our club..very strange goings on

Don't tell me - you think the Moon landings were faked, don't you?

Reardon was brought in because we needed cover [inow[/i, not at some undetermined future date. His contract was conditional on his full recovery from his Achilles injury for that very reason. A thorough medical exam was ordered for that very reason. He failed it. The results came in last night while Rule was on the air. His contract was terminated automatically by his failed medical and the announcement rushed out in order to [iavoid[/i looking like a reaction to any sentence he may receive today.

But you carry on with your conspiracy theories if you want to.

Quote: Monko "Ask the board not me. I wouldn't have touched him with a barge pole in the first instance.'" Me neither but the only reason he was brought in was to cover the backs if he cant do that why keep him? His contract was subject to him not getting a custodial sentence and passing a medical. The club didn't need to make up an excuse about an injury if he got sent down. Some more info regarding his release here sporthull.co.uk/rugby_league/hul ... p?ID=12338

Who's got a barge pole????!!!

Fact? Not FACT?

No conspiracy theories Kosh. Just a complete lack of trust in our board. And what do you mean ' Moon landings' are you telling me man has been to the Moon. You'll be telling me someone shot John Lennon next.
