Spoke too soon! Looks like Bayley Liu from Sheffield is heading to the Bulls if the cryptic messages on the club facebook are anything to go by,

Seems that Appo had made his mind up to skip bail and flee to PNG within hours of being charged so not sure what support the club could/should have offered

He handed his keys over to the club manager but I don't see any mention of him telling the club he was charged?

It's amazing a serious offence as this and people are still trying to point score regarding clubs. What are people suggesting, that the club knew he'd been charged, bailed the country and thought "nah, hopefully we can still have a good season for us, so we'll keep paying him through December"

West Yorkshire police didn't announce it until Friday despite him being out of the country for over a month. These types of crimes have a very low conviction rate. Maybe, just maybe the club were legally advised to do nothing, and try let the police do their job. Then making this info public obvious changed that.

Appo's immediate actions after his release on bail speak volumes. I hope for the victim/victims sake they drag him back to this country so they can seek justice.
