Pay him to tend to his garden for the remainder of his contract...gardening leave...so,he can't be employed by a competitor.

I'm sure if he wanted to join us early and DB was in agreement,it would happen.They would find it very hard to enforce that,given Leigh at the time of termination and also now are not a competitor.

DB would be up for him joining. If he is on gardening leave he is not technically terminated. Derek's observer column this week will fill in all the gaps

If you were paying his salary would you let him join a competitor, it's standard practice. He would be in breach if he had any dealings with Leigh but very hard to prove

Can always appoint Paul Anderson as a 'consultant' for the 8's.

As reported by Mark Taylor via Twitter, the Giants have blocked a move for Kieron Purtill to move to Leigh early by placing him on Gardening Leave.

A wise but slightly arsey move IMO, obviously Huddersfield feel it could be a threat should the two teams meet in the Middle 8's.

Opinions folks ?

Standard IMO - no drama here
