Never rated him.

Craig Kopczak commented: “Huddersfield have been top four material for the past few years". but never quite made it have they



I wonder if this was a free transfer after a decision from the RFL!!

I love his statement
No Craig you walked out on a contract and showed no loyalty to a club that has developed you for years. You saw an opportunity to try to walk away from your contract for nothing and took it, there is no honour in that.

I wonder whether we'll get to know whether Huddersfield acted correctly as well.

Quote I have been fed up reading many of the comments attributed to my decision to simply look after my family’s best interest

Aw bless, he had contract, was a young international prop and would have had no problem either finding a club if we went pop or putting in atransfer request at the end of the season if we didn't. He walked out on his teammates who were all in a similar if not worse position on the eve of the last game of the season, and didn't have the balls to tell anyone himself. Good riddance, at least we got some cash from shudders.

He's not covering himself in glory. No need for that dig at the club in his press release.

Huddersfield can have him. All he's doing is making the target bigger.

Wow what a shock. Never saw that signing coming

Apart from 2011... and 2009... and missing out on 4th by 2 pts in 2010...

O/k so the Giants not guilty of tapping up, still have to pay a transfer fee surely? www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... p-row.html

Huddersfield ARE a top 4 team. Until about June.

If you've had a pay-out then surely it would have been publicised?

Very poor form shown by Kopout.

Turning your back on your team mates and home town club for a career move to the midgets...best of luck.

Any deal might also include an agreement not to make details public? I'm Just going off the reporters comments;

[i"The RFL have yet to make any comment but it is understood that Huddersfield have agreed to pay Bradford a settlement fee for Kopczak, who still had one year remaining on his contract at Odsal."[/i

He has no particular reason to make that up so clearly he's been told something by someone who knows more about whats going on than any of us. We might never know the full details, but I'm just glad its over. He wanted to leave, you wanted to sign him, so its best for all that he's in your squad next year and we can move on with our rebuilding.

#edit# Now also on the superleague website;

"[iThe Rugby Football League held an investigation into Kopczak’s conduct following complaints by Bradford and it is thought Huddersfield have paid compensation to the Bulls for the 6ft 4in, 17st forward[/i."

See ya later, Kopout. Never been anything outstanding.

Could the Judas chants of the early 90s return . Not to mention I bet you wish you were still a bull if we get one over them ?

At least now we will be spared the sight of him dragging his bit fat ar$e round Odsal every other week. Once a season will be enough. I'll bet the other player's wives an partners are glad they won't have to see his psycho wife every week as well.

I take it my head is full of sand und I downt no if I av had my tea yet.

Wow, the comments on the T&A article are something else

those people definitely need to get out more!

At least this gives people plenty to ask OK at the Fans' Forum on Friday. He's spoken before about his honesty, so let's see what he has to say.
Hopefully now this is cleared up we can sort out contracts for Addy, Donaldson and McAvoy (if they haven't been done already).

No need really is there?

I'm disappointed we've lost a quality homegrown player, and considering the circumstances surrounding his departure I won't be clapping him at Odsal next year. But he's a human being who has put his family first. You can call him a traitor, judas, money grabbing swine. But there's no need to bring his family into it.

player of the season for you 2011?

welcome to the giants next season kopczak!! what a pack we have

Don't understand the vitriol to be honest. Good luck to the lad.

We need everyone on board next year and can't afford to be carrying anybody who doesn't want to be here.

Let him and the rest of the deluded mad heads at that Kenneth Davy propped up Championship sized outfit get on with it.

Got bigger fish to fry.

thats funny i take it unlike me you never lost any money in all this mess go play with the traffic retard

Agree you've got a decent pack. Shame you only have one decent halfback though
