If hull wanted to do this "ethically" as they state then they wouldn't have made a massive announcement about this signing (that8 they haven't actually yet made- how funny if he changes his mind) in the week we've sacked a coach and lost a young player.
Both clubs have behaved badly IMO.

Stop crying please it's getting boring now

Hull fc have done nothing wrong. Get over it

Could not agree more. A lot of what Thewlis states is rubbish. We never get the Players side of what's gone on with players Agent. Shame he did not get the push along with Anderson.

To be honest, i'm really struggling to see the relevance of Jake signing for us, to the tragic passing of a young man. Players switch teams all the time. Is it really such a slant on the Giants name that Another club has signed one of there players?

Hang on - I thought the official line was you haven't signed him....

Give it a rest, you're getting more embarrassing.

A task achieved by literally everyone this season

He's a very solid winger indeed, I would rather we had Broughton or Ormsby though

The story here for me is that Huddersfield have screwed up one of their core business processes.... Again. They wanted to retain Connor or extract a fee for him and have done neither. Then Thewlis compounds it all with his silly statements to the press.... Again.

It's not Hull FC's fault - Huddersfield have done worse than them re: Kopzcak when they were forced to pay a fee. Hull FC won't be paying any fee. The rules are the rules Ricky - study them and play the game with the rest of them.

I don't know Thewlis. He may be a bloody nice bloke. But I question how good he is at his job.

We are just a laughing stock at the minute. I have no idea how we are going to entice a top coach when it's clear how amateurishly the club is being directed

A lot more than P Anderson needed clearing out in some peoples mind, but in view of how long it took for that particular penny to drop, I don't think we shall be seeing much change soon.

Broughton was part time last season

And I think he still should have played ahead of Murphy
