Yes, but the club have new owners and it seems that the Bulls will be remaining as an SL club and the player was contracted for a further year before he decided to not bother sticking with the club who taught him his trade.

IF the club's future was still up in the air or if the players has been in the same boat that the staff had been (ie not paid since June and working for what's best for the club) or if it'd be announced the club was to be demoted then this move COULD be justifiable and would be prudent, however it seems he'd rather break his contract and go for a bigger pay day elsewhere.

And given it was inducing a player to break a contract was what caused the whole Harris affair (the court case of which, Bradford LOST) I do hope that the player's new club has a good lawyer.

The employee had a contract until 2013 with a company who couldnt pay its bills in 2012. He decided not to be TUPEd to the new company.

Ben Galea signed for Hull FC all but waiting to be announced.

Bulls are taking legal advice? Hope its not the same lawyers who oversaw the Harris saga...

Galea would be a smart signing for a season, still looks good.

It's hardly the type of signing Pearson was mentioning though.

or maybe he is allowing gentles' better knowledge of signing a player on top of the 6 or 7 players we have already signed up for next season and are to be announced in the next month, starting with holdsworth this week

Not completely true, the main out going of the club, the players wages, were fully paid every month. Same can't be said for the coaching staff and back office staff who've been working for free. Kopczak's move is a slap in the face to them and to the club that brought him up in the game. And I hope the club who induced him to take this move never have to go through a similar situation to Bradford as I don't think the absorption of a club from Sheffield will save them that time

If it turns out to be Huddersfield then it wont be the first time this season. there were some very shadowy practices around their poaching of anthony mullaly from us a few months back.

Indeed, Huddersfield were the vulture that took the most advantage out of our situation when we were in the brown stuff. As they were when Sheffield were in peril.

Peter Gentle signs 1 yr extension with Hull FC...here now til 2015.

very astute signing this one, more to come soon

You deserved it

& no different than happens to any club and happened to the giants many times.

Additionally why should a player show loyalty to a club, clubs won't show any in return.

Reece Lyne has confirmed the rumours that he is moving to Wakefield from Hull FC. Not really surprising as Agar has always been a fan on his. https://twitter.com/bradsingo/status/245179009699287040

I think you might be missing the point here.

You CANNOT in any circumstances talk to players under contract at any club without the permission of the club who the player is registered to!

In this case, it's believed (according to the T&A reports) that a 'club' has spoken to Kopczak without speaking to the Bulls first. He was under contract. I highly doubt the TUPE would have been rejected had he not been tapped up.

Also, 'You deserved it' - wow. I imagine you might not be saying that in the next few years if the rumours of Davy pulling his funds out due to getting fed up with a lack of crowd is true.

No, OK Bulls is a Newco, not the previous company of Bradford Bulls. Kopczak objected (as he has a right to) to his contract being transferred from the previous company to the new one. Existing law (as applied to the Rangers soccer players) seems to support him.
