Bradford Bulls: Craig Kopczak gets nod to play for Wales

Craig Kopczak
Craig Kopczak has been cleared to play for Wales in Saturday’s international against France in Lens.
The 25-year-old’s future at club level is uncertain after he terminated his contract of employment with the Bulls last month.
Wales feared the current impasse would threaten his chances of representing his country but Rugby Football League director Blake Solly confirmed that Kopczak will be free to play this weekend, regardless of the outcome of an investigation into his walk-out at Bradford.
Solly said the governing body clarified the situation, particularly over the question of insurance, with Wales Rugby League today ahead of their get-together in Ewloe, Flintshire.
Kopczak, a candidate to take on the captaincy for the games against France and England, is thought to have been offered a lucrative deal with Super League rivals Huddersfield.
That sparked an RFL investigation which Solly revealed was nearing a conclusion, saying: “We are waiting on the investigation report. Final witnesses were interviewed last week and it should be with us tomorrow.”

Cummins states he can't make a signing until Kopczak situation is resolved...does that mean if he was to stay bulls would go into 2013 with only 19 players!!!!

Unattached! Bulls won't get the glory for this one, quite the opposite. journalists will have a field day writing about the embarrassing decline of Bradford bulls.

your motto should be always look for a dark cloud on the horizon.
Incidently you have no idea what constitutes a story for the papers have you? Still they always say ignorance is bliss.
Can we assume you lead a blissful life?
