| Quote [url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12196_5064624,00.htmlFormer New Zealand Test winger Tame Tupou has taken Bradford to a Rugby Football League tribunal as he bids to stop the Bulls from terminating his contract with the club.[/url
Tupou has not played since undergoing reconstructive knee surgery last June and Bradford are now seeking to release him from the final 18 months of his deal.
The contract that Tupou signed in June 2007 states that the Bulls are entitled to annul the agreement should the player be unavailable for 26 weeks in a 52-week period.
The tribunal sitting has been adjourned for a week to allow the panel members to consider what constitutes 'training'.
The former Brisbane Bronco made just nine appearances due to knee and rib injuries last season and is still not considered fit to resume playing.
Tupou, who was represented at the tribunal by Leeds-based sports lawyer Richard Cramer, argued that he is able to train and is effectively not in breach of his contract but Bradford claimed the extent of his injuries mean an effective return is not imminent.
Tupou joined the Bulls in the summer of 2007 as a replacement for Lesley Vainikolo, who joined Gloucester.
Bradford, who were represented at Tuesday's tribunal by chairman Peter Hood and head coach Steve McNamara, claim they were not told the extent of Tupou's injury.'"
Some Replacement For Lesley Vainikolo He Turned Out To Be!...
Interestingly At The Bottom Of The Page I See Bradford Bulls Are A Huge 40/1 To "Win" The Wooden Spoon...

Yes Basically They Are Just A Shambles These Days, The Only Way They Can Hit The Headlines Are Through Negative Issues...
40/1 Is Huge Especially The Way They Are Looking Worth A £1 Of Anyones Money I'd Say...

| Halley shipped off to Wakey despite being one of their better players - is he due for an automatic contract upgrade if he stays at Bradford?
Tupou "released" by Bradford
Halley recalled from Wakey
Coincidence or do they have salary cap issues to go with their performance and league position issues?
Just a thought

| I wonder if it all part of the cost cutting falling gates crap team. Get rid of players. Very short term. By the way are they still paying Judas Harris and have we got the comp from them yet.
Keep it Steve Mc, best coach Northern have ever had. I vote he gets the job for life.

| I dont take try scoring records for showing how good a player is. You could be a winger who is the most amazing player, who always throws you the last pass, close to the line with no players to beat.
IMO of course.

If they are running near the full cap for that squad they've got serious collective mental health problems.

Yeah they bought a special season ticket after the Harris case. This allows them access to every single case held at Bradford Crown Court, with a special discount on cases held away form the city. Oh and they get a free DVD and your of the court.
In all seriousness, it just seems to be one thing after another for the Bulls. Like I said earlier in the week i hope they pull it around but there does seem to be something going very wrong behind the scenes. Sad really.

I know bus fares have gone up but I think even the bulls can stretch to that.

| Given their money troubles, they'll have to use even cheaper lawyers for this case.
Will any of the 'Been injured at work?' mob be willing to kae their case?
