Quote: Fred_Pickup "The whole sorry saga seems to be a microcosm of the Euro crisis.
As each "critical" point is reached, just enough funds are pumped in to avert total collapse.
The EU's objective vis a vis Greece looks like being keeping things afloat long enough to engineer a Greek exit which is "managed" with less impact on Spain and Italy.
The RFL's objective is to see Bradford to the end of the season.
Personally, I would probably deny them the right to a play offf place if that merely ended up using more RFL funds as it would seem like undue preference with a real negative impact on the 9th placed club.
After that, the offering for 2013 needs to stack up, and be seen by the rest of the Rugby League community to stack up, for whoever may be a prospective licensee.'"
Agree. Greece (the euro) and The bulls are doomed. The agony is just being prolonged for fear of the short term consequences: the collapse of both is certain with the perpetuated pretence just delaying the inevitable. The decimation is going to hurt all the more when it comes.
