Fartfeely : Fri May 29, 2009 2:41 pm  

Anybody know if we ever solved the compensation claim for Fartfeely who has now signed a two year deal with Leeds. Disgraceful

NO

Lets hope the club now take up pusuing the claim again.
He should not get a licence to play until this is settled.

Leeds Rugby is an entity is it not?

He's possibly in breach of contract, assuming that he ever signed a Quins RL contract. Will the club pursue it? Doubt it.

May be possible to get a few Southstanders to turn out and give him a warm welcome though.

Is it? Is that similar to Quins?

Wasn't our gripe with Henry and the French team?

No, it's not like Quins which is two businesses trading under the same brand.

Our gripe was with Faffalot and Biarritz but probably no point in pursuing the issue in the EU courts. Maybe simpler in UK, but doubt it would be worth it. But I am not a lawyer.

Am I right in thinking IL said at the time he would pursue it through the courts? Did anything ever come of it?

Didn't something similar happen with the, now Cas second rower, who we signed and never arrived?

I believe he did, yeh. As the silence was deafening as soon as IL said it, I guess sod all happened.

If I remember correctly, the issue was raised at a fans forum last season and the response was that it had been settled but we weren't told how.
