| Anyone think its strange that no players have left since the behind closed doors meeting, only ones that we already knew were going beforehand. You would think they would be a mad scramble by the ones left to find other clubs. On paper with what is left they look like they still have a pretty good team.

| Quote: Faxfan1999 "Another day and another story in the T&A - Rohan Smith feeling bad about the club not being able to honour friendlies - firstly there is no club , no players....does he really think fans who have bought season tickets (memberships) and even maybe merchandise are going to care about friendlies when they have lost their money!!
Its not living in the real world and clinging to former glories that spelt the end of the Bradford Bulls - Rohan is still talking like hes the coach - get a grip man you are unemployed and club doesnt exist it has ceased to be.....
They have to launch a club / business with around 3 weeks to go and counting - of course the other clubs want them in they are thinking kerching 4 points from the new whipping boys......which is what they are going to be - should have gone down a level and rebuilt - RFL have just done whats easiest for them which is understandable - they dont have to redo the fixtures or owt like that.'"
Also one of the reasons the RFL didn't promote Barrow/Whitehaven was due to the fact that those clubs wouldn't have time to adjust to suddenly being in the championship! You really couldn't write it. The RFL= a corrupt joke of an organisation.

My contact in Whitehaven tells me that they were never asked or Workington or Barrow

| From the hammerings that Toronto gave us and from what RM says it sounds like they would have been the perfect fit for the Championship.

They shouldn't lose a game all year. They look a more than formidable side for league 1

I'd have said pretty formidable for our league too, might have lost a couple of games but not too many IMHO.

| Salford allegedly offering to loan New Bulls players. Could your DR agreement be the shortest so far?

Who would they have signed for though? Most of the ones who are higher-end Championships players/lower-end SL players have gone; and most of the Championship clubs have either got their squads sorted or haven't got any money to sign reasonable-quality players. For the players left, their best option was probably to stick around and wait; as you say, Bradford might end up with a reasonable squad anyway.

Anyone willing to reveal any scorelines, accurate or approximate, and how realistic the training session(s) were in comparison to a proper game ? Only reason I ask is that you can get 4-1 for Toronto to score 100pts in a game this season )albeit with Skybet so it will be to tiny money )and that has to be a definite possibility - for instance Hemel shipped 80 points against Doncaster last season and 74 against Gloucester and Keighley, so what are Toronto going to do to them?

| The thing that struck me (having seen both sessions) was the speed with which they move the ball. They've got players that are not only strong powerful and fast, but also have that extra yard in the head.
Somebody would have to catch them on a horrendous off day to get anywhere near to them imo
Scores IIRC: 1st match Fax 2-3 Toronto, 2nd match Fax 0-Toronto 4/5

Thanks for that, is that just in tries scored, and over what period - 40 mins each time?
They are evens to go unbeaten all season and although that type of bet is normally the muggiest of mug bets - you just think of a wet day in Cumbria - it's probably not as terrible a price as these "unbeaten" bets usually are. Certainly more realistic than Hull KR going unbeaten in the Championship, as some of their fans seem to think will happen.

Moss gone and Chisholme soon to go.
There are about 12 players left so yes, they do have a fantastic squad. Every decent player gone now since end of season - about 15 of them mostly to SL, Toronto and London.
Every Bulls fan wanted to be dropped into CH.1 to start again but it was the RFL who decided on this stupid idea of them staying in the Championship.

| The new owner must have produced a Plan that would be viable, so I would assume that would include expenditure or a squad to keep them up.
The fact they don't have players now is a handicap but they can avoid DR by using long term loan so it...as awaits...will be down to money.
