Kopczak

Seems like (as expected by myself) the RFL have sat on the fence over the inquest into this signing.It would appeart they are asking us to 'do the right thing' and pay poor old Bfd a fee for his services.

No doubt we could drag the saga out through the courts,saying he was a free agent who did not agree to be TUPE'd over to the OKBulls so really we don't owe them a penny.

And doubtless, if we take it further Kopczak will not be able to play for us.

So,is it best to pay up and draw a line under this affair or stick to our principles and take it further.

always stick to principles

As long as Fartown did nothing wrong (& only they know the true story there) I wouldn't give the Bulls anything. To hell with those arrogant idiot fans who really showed what particularly hateful scumbags they are this season.

Bradford demanding money off other clubs? Never!

The irony of the whole thing is this: the Bulls did everything they possibly could to destroy our club in the early days of SL, and thought it was funny whilst they were at it.

Nope, they'd get sweet FA from me.

Don't pay a penny, we would never do it but it would be hilarious to make a public contribution to the creditors fund ;-)

If we have to splash the cash, maybe it would be better spent elsewhere, like a top class half back.

Rules are rules, but the delay could mean we couldn't get Kopczak earlier enough.

As Sparky says only the club know if we did nothing wrong though. If we have then we should face the consequences.

I do feel for Kopczak though, it must be a right mess and a worrying time for him. Will he be getting a wage at the moment?

Sweet fa from me too.

Kopczaks agent must have approached us,wanting to try and secure his clients future when bulls looked like they might fold.Only reasonable that.

CK could have stayed with ok,but decided not to tupe over to them.So really don't reckon okbulls have a chance of getting a fee,unless we pay out of the goodness of our hearts,which I hope we don't.

Stand by for the outpouring of hatred towards us fans/club/owner if they don't get their way on this.

Well after all the speculation he's finally a Giants. Next season we'll see the most aggressive pack our team has ever had with Kopczak, O'Donnell, Ta'ai, Fielden, Ferres, Mason, Crabtree, Chan, Patrick and Freguson. A tough job for Anderson to keep them all happy though me thinks.

Certainly a team of Giants and you missed Mullaly off your list! If we sort out the second row running lines when we put the ball wide, on the back of that go forward our backs could be pretty special.

I believe some papers are reporting that Giants were cleared of any wrongdoing, which does make you wonder about some of the comments coming from Bradfords new owners. I am starting to fear for them, I suspect he may be out of his depth. We will see

As Ponner has said Andersons biggest problem will be finding the right combinations and keeping everyone happy, I just hope he doesn't go down the N Brown route and rotate for the sake of it. It will be great to see some aggression in the pack and maybe some of our existing forwards may learn to hit the line like they mean it and even to offload a bit, With a big strong pack going forward we have players in Brough, Robbo and Grix ( if he is here ) to exploit the chances. Well done to Anderson for sorting out the massive problem that NB left us with in the forwards, maybe we can play for the whole season.

Well then Ponner,you normally have the insider info matey.

Did we pay any sort of fee for Kopczak?

Neither Kopczak or Fartown have done anything wrong as far as I can see so why all the tears and bitterness from the "hard done by" Dulls fans. Think they should all get a grip, get over it, move on and stop whingeing, we owe them naff all.

I hated the Bulls before they went bust, but I'm beginning to hate them even more.

Just as a matter of interest, when you say you hate the Bulls do you mean the club, the Fans, the Crater the City It's self or the whole lot. Not that I'm criticizing, you have every right to like or dislike who you choose, I have no special liking for them myself although i do admire the success they have had, They have their share of idiot fans like every other club, these are the one's who turn people against their clubs.
I am not convinced this new club can survive myself, and if it does i feel it could be a long hard road.

Hate the whole "Bullmania" thing, hate the way they took the mickey when they broke the salary cap, know a lot of "Bullmania" bandwagon fans who I can't stand listening to especially now they're feeling "hard done to" by the RFL for going bust ???? Hate the annual visit to Odslum, a complete dump, half full of morons, some of whom love to believe they're right when spouting drivel about Uncle Ken and our right to be in Superleage. I know a fair few (long time) Bradfud fans and have a lot of time for them and we have a good bit of banter. As for the Bulls and it's bandwagon supporters, I hate the arrogant, ignorant, cheating, ungrateful, moaning gits with all my heart.

Hope that helps

If anyone can add a few more dislikes I'm open to hating them even more

Boring - is another word I'd use to describe them now.The way they are going on and on about this Kopczak affair.

Got to say though,a couple of good things do come out of Bradford,apart from the road through Wyke towards Hudders,and that is Seabrook (tongue burning) crisps,(especially Salt & Vinegar & Smokey Bacon) and also Saltaire Blonde (not a lass,but a real ale)
