Wow, pearsons got the mighty tigers in his armory



His loyalties are divided

Judging by the article on your website he want's to sell lots of programmes.

It will be interesting to hear Pearson explain how he obtained these " phone records " will it not

I look forward to reading about it in the News of the World.

Made from a company/club phone perhaps?

My immediate thought, too. Would seem very likely that Directors/CEO and the Head Coach are provided with a mobile phone.

Get Levenson on the case

better to get Leveson, the guy who is actually chairing the enquiry....do you actually ever post anything accurate?

It's about revenge, not money. The amount involved means nothing to pearson

Where does it say in the article on the Hull website that he as phone evidence of the tap up?

Indeed, and it's also, I believe, about breaking the stronghold over the RFL that Hetherington appears to enjoy, Pearson will have made it clear that the RFL either hold an enquiry or he'll take legal proceedings, I don't think the RFL will like the fact that someone who has been professionally involved in sport for a long time now owns one of their franchises, for too long the RFL has been a sop to whoever laid on the best hospitatlity etc. It's long overdue that someone took on the corruption at Red Hall, and I think this is the first salvo in a long await, and possibly to be long drawn out, battle.

I don't care if the outcome is a bit of embarassment for FC in some way, so long as any corruption is exposed.

I reckon Id be pretty accurate in saying you probably had the kleenex and hand cream at the ready

after pointing out my unforgiveable

error in spelling even though you knew what I meant

not really, when you've been around a bit longer you'll realise that I don't really give a monkey's what most other fans think, let alone a sad case from L**ds who probably only started going once you finally started winning stuff, as the sone goes "where were you when you were #@it?"

but keep trolling, it gives me something to read whilst listening to the William Hill podcast.

That being the case, it seems very odd to accuse Leeds of any wrong doing.

they were, from what I have read and heard, making approaches to a player whilst under contract, that is tapping up in anyones book, I guess AP has confidence in his case, he's not daft.

Maybe because the people offering him didn't own or have anything to do with Hull FC anymore?

If your gonna pull him up for his spelling at least get yours right. Sone???

Not to a player out of contract that season after September the 1st it isnt.

Why would that be illegal?

Because contracts regarding youngsters are different, the approach came before Sept. 1st anyway.

Seems strange then that nobody has mentioned it. There is a clear procedure, completely different from this one, which Hull can go down to report a club for tapping up a player prior to that deadline. That isnt a procedure they have gone down. The procedure they seem to be going down, from all available information, is a complaint that the current system hasnt given a fair valuation to Briscoe. Though i think it will be very difficult for the RFL or Hull FC to prove a new valuation structure after the fact.

In fact, nothing Pearson has said, accuses Leeds of anything. Nothing he says actually states what the complaint is apart from the fact Briscoe wasnt tied up as he wanted him to be.

Seems obvious that the RFL would not be going to the trouble and expense of a tribunal unless compelling evidence of a breach of rules had been presented. Whether it's compelling enough to find Leeds guilty is what the tribunal is to determine. The phone records evidence was referenced at the fans forum. Phone records can include text messages as well, perhaps at critical points in both teams' seasons.

Pearson hasn't stated the purpose of the tribunal, the fact the RFL are holding one indicates there is at least something to look at, time will tell.
