I can't find one pal, i read it the old school way .its says both Gale n Carvell are adamant they believe they are free agents

Nope the only Gale I can find is in the weather forecast.

I know we enquired about Gale before we signed Rankin.

Good of him to turn up at a club event despite believing he was no longer employed by that club..

Exciting. I bet Bradford rue the day they lured Harris over Leeds' head when he returned to League.

Only what it saysin the star pal I've not claimed it to be fact

Unlike Carvell who is nowhere to be seen in West Yorkshire.

What comes around goes around as they say. Pay backs a bitch.

Free bar?

Ruined them, created the situation they're in and makes it very difficult for them to squawk 'foul play' now.

Very sad, really.

without going through the full thread, do people think this is a good or bad idea?

I've just a funny feeling the rfl will just back Bradford yet again reguardless of what the rules are

Very good signings if we could pull it off

Anything to help pay the rent

Luke Gale probably stays a Bull based on his attending last nights event

.......unless he is just awaiting clarification on Carvells position first

Prop presumably or is he worried carvell might be our new scrum half?

Given the perilous situations of our pack and, boringly, our halves (how long?), we don't have much choice. Gale does play SH as well as OH so would be the only real alternative to Miller, and Carvell has had a good, relatively injury-free run at Wire. Seems a good idea with the options we have. Unless we have irons in other fires yet to be revealed.

Question is, why are we only now starting to address these issues? Has Radford been too optomistic in settling for the squad he had? Has closed-season training exposed gaping holes? Doesn't bode brilliantly for Radford's judgement if so. Shouldn't be scrabbling round at this stage.

If it comes off, yes, he still has plenty of miles on the clock, expect we would see 2 seasons out of him minimum. If it had been the option 4 months ago of Feka or Carvell I would have taken Carvell

Only concern would be injuries, but during his time at Wire he has a had a good run

It's the way he bailed out on us that sticks in my throat if I am honest.

His choice or no choice?

Gale is an interesting one that has taken some time to get up a head of steam but he might want to come to Hull he did when we offered a transfer fee for him before we signed Rankin, but ironically Bradford turned us down although they were being kept going by RL funds, something that I would expect proved pretty ironic as far as our administration are concerned.

All I know about Gale is that last Wednesday two West Riding based Journalists who are well respected (or disrespected depending your views) told me that we had gone back for him.

makes you wonder wether theres out in the Radford not happy with miller rumour.

IF Hulls did come in for Gale I would presume we would definitely be a due a fee for him.
On the T&A website a sports lawyer said every player or employee has the right to refuse to be Tupe'd to the new company. However they must do it by a certain time period. I think this is what the argument with Carvell is about. There's also the players registration issue as well which is what I THINK Hudds got into trouble for (although this was only because of the Keith Mason legal case as the RFL investigation didn't find anything)

his choice, by a distance

Why would a Sports lawyer comment on employment law?
