Paid him off in full ?? Probably the equivalent of what the club fined him lol

Posssibly so and perhaps Wakey have paid a fee for him, as they appear to have some new money coming into the club.

Does seem strange to pay him off rather than just let his contract run out unless either someone is coming in or we weren’t able to play Staveley due to restrictions on the live cap? Though you’d think Evans going snd not being replaced would take care of anything like that.

Might be some bad feeling or awkwardness if a contract offer was withdrawn. Griffin might feel that his integrity has been impugned by Hull and/or Hull might regret backing him if he didn’t come across as credible in the disciplinary hearing.

I doubt we offered more than a year, so can't blame him for getting two years.

Only himself to blame . Shame cos he's been one of the clubs better players this season .

I get the impression TS isn’t one to make a decision like this on just one incident, especially when we’re already light on numbers.

He sees these players day in, day out, and would have made the decision based on that.

Hopefully Staveley gets a shot now.

Anyone got any idea if him joining Wakey affects the end of his ban? It would be interesting if he was clear to play against us.

His ban will stay the same if he leaves. Same as when Evans joined us he was still serving a ban from his time in NRL.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I meant does the scheduling of Wakey’s games, not the amount of games, make a difference.

Has anyone got anything to corroborate this story?
