I call this "Pettit's law of fan disenchantment", which is essentially the act of dumbfounding a club's fanbase. Only difference is that Pettit did it by announcing announcements that something will be announced on a specific date only to realise that the upcoming announcement is an anouncement of an upcoming announcement itself. The club should have thought better of this. Even if they released the Fielden article without the hype, it would have been a whole lot better.

Well they haven't bothered with hype this time but just put out another article. This time they've wheeled out Henry Paul. Same type of cringeworthy grammar as usual. Surely someone's told powers that be that stuff needs proofreading by now!

Wheeling out someone who jumped ship...surely another low.

Well.....all players, 'jump ship', at some point. I'd leave the acrimony to those who defecate on us (there have been a few) rather than such as Henry.

To be fair don't think we can knock what we got from Henry very disappointed when he left, only to be expected with someone of his talents though. Highlights of the Grand Final against Wigan were on last night. Brought back some great memories

There is a naughty rumour as to why he had to leave...

There is but I think it's more likely to be the "much more money to do much less work" reasoning that Union contracts often bring with them.

If someone offered me a lot more money to do the same job but having more break times in between jobs, I think I'd bite their hand off too.

Not a problem but give that as the reason for leaving, not wanting to be closer to your family. (Although I suppose Bristol is closer to NZ than Bradford)
