What a mess. I am no fan of Thewlis, how the man keeps his job. I think Ken is at the age that he does not want the hassle. Thewlis always tries to play a game of Bluff over contracts and then cries like a baby when he looses. What do the rest of the Directors think.? Think they are only there for the Ale.

how do you know? Whatever Thewlis says or does is reported in either the local or national press which I would think is passed by the board whereas you hide behind an alias. If you are in the know come straight out and tell us how you know these things and tell us how and who gives you this information most of which reads as nothing more than vindictive twaddle against Thewlis or the club in general.

Look at the mason /kopczak saga.

All reported in court and in the press.WE right royally fooled up.

No one was held accountable. The person who should carry the can has to be the chief exec


Where I work if someone folks up an enquiry takes place and action is taken and a summary of the enquiry is published

We just have to accept everything like lemmings again and again and again

Funny but if we had sacked Baloo 24 hours earlier Connor would probably have still been a giant even in the low contract we offered him.

Never mind.

Hang on a minute:
Were Huddersfield not the club who signed a Bradford player whilst he was under contract?
And now they are moaning that Hull have signed a player who is not under contract and will be beyond his 22nd birthday when the contract comes into force?
Seems like incompetence to me.

Could not agree more. Double standards all around. Agents who are pals with the C O do deals for their own gain. Young Players being used and then abused by Idiot Supporters when they try to make some money in a short career. Backhanders, player partners being paid ,Agents fees! What a state Rugby League is in.Too many Fat Cats taking the cream. A cash explosion around the corner when Sky pull out due to lack of crowds and interest.

Yes but we were then made to compensate Bradford unlike the current mallarky that is our point.

So had hudds to the letter of the rules. By employment law kopczak didn't have a contract as his hadn't been tuped across to the new holding company.

If I remember rightly the payment was a goodwill payment advised by the RL and was not binding as far as the Giants were concerned.No doubt someone can remember better than I.
