Signed. Went through pre-season. Played in a friendly (I think?). First proper match (may even have been a friendly still?) did his cruciate IIRC. Club "released" him, and TV, because neither would be fit to play within 6 months and under the terms of the contract the club could do that. Whether we'd have done so had the club not been desperate to free up cap-space for Harris (allegedly) is a separate issue.


That's my approximate recollection, but I suspect others will be able to add some accuracy.

where have we heard this before, new zealand rfl being less than forthcoming about the extent of an injury suffered to our player whilst on international duty for them

Thanks



I couldn't remember, and only now it's just reminded me reading about Tame

Just read this [url=http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5iUHtsYBIEBUAdPY92FY2YkOtWzjQhere[/url it's pretty much the same thing on ITV teletext.



About time some light was shed on the situation.

Kohe Love did his knee against Wigan in round 1 of 04

If he was fully fit maybe he would be good to use after all the Bulls view him as a "Utility player" maybe he could have a bash in the centres?

might make sense - wasnt there an article in t&a a few weeks before we announced bird signing with tupou telling us what an impact he was going to make this year?. You wouldnt have thought club would allow him to do an interview in that vein if they were planning on releasing him at that point in time.

From Tupoumania to Tupouthanasia.

koa love did his cruciate ligament away at wakefield in first game of season

No he didn't because we didn't play Wakefield first we played Wigan the week after the WCC game against Penrith. Koa Love did do his knee against Wakefield but it was round 3.

Lets ask Stuart Duffy I'm sure (s)he'll be posting any time soon.

In fact round 2 - thought had better look it up cos been despairing of my memory the more I read! TKL came off the bench in round 1 against the Pies - the match when Big Les got five.

Score one for your side there...

Yes i forgot the Saints game was in the cup not a league game which came between the Wigan and Wakey games.

He did it in the following super league game at wakey and was replaced by Chris Bridge. He also played in the cup tie against Saints in between.

That's going to make it a tad awkward for [ieveryone [/iif the Bulls aren't allowed to rip up the contract. Suspect it's safe to say that Topou has played his last game for the Bulls, regardless of whether he's ever fit or not.

It won't if anyone involved in these situations get's a "mutual agreement"

that agreement will only be beneficial for one party methinks.

Don't they have insurance for this sort of thing?

So i take it Bradford gave him a full medical, before signing him.

If not then surely they only have themselves to blame.

The injuries happened after the medical.

Do you not remember how he has played previously for us? He'd probably be crap as a water carrier.

Odd how the TandA havent reported anything about this

but don't you have your own medical team who have to acess the injury then have to do the rehab with him and its your club that will pay for any operations so to say you were not informed i find it very hard to believe.

There probably trying to work out how this means we're building to something and how we'll blow away our next opposition.
