Ok I'll try though, the Bulls put together a side (one assumes at the top end of the SC or close to it) knowing full well that they couldn't afford it.
They budgeted to lose £100k per month or £1.2m over the year.
What they could or should have done was budget correctly, that would obviously left little for a star studded squad I grant you but none the less it would have been prudent.
This would have been appreciated by both the HMRC and the other creditors. It would have no doubt been appreciated by the staff made redundant and who knows in hindsight the fans too.
It would have also stopped the RFL from making yet another mess of things.
Had the bulls done the prudent thing they would not have been at risk of relegation, who knows some cracking youngsters could have been unearthed? Two things are for certain though, one is that they would have no doubt finished in the bottom place in SL and another is that once again SL wouldn't be making headlines for all the wrong reasons again.
I personally don't think it would be credible to dispute those facts.

Why should Bradford's on-field performance be punished for some clown behind the scenes who failed to run a business correctly?
Bradford deserved to finish inside the 8, their performances throughout the year showed this. Wakefield's didn't.

My only surprise is that Bradford haven't been awarded a probationary play-off franchise spot.

Because the clown/clowns signed an unaffordable squad of players.

Guessing sales cant be that good, a work mate of mine went to rhinos ticket office to get tickets for himself and his 2 kids and got upgraded to seats for free, now that aint the sort of thing a club does if it's selling loads of tickets!

Let me answer that for you.

Because wakefields on field performance was punished the year before...with a points deduction relative to debt(which bulls received) and a sale of assets (players sold to pay creditors)...RFL funded the bulls team for months and allowed them to continue to run at a further loss.

So effectively Wakefield received punishment on field but 12 months later bulls shouldnt (and haven't to the scale Wakefield did)

Talking about supporting your team, I was at Wembley sat at the Leeds end. I wonder if William Eve was one of the thousands of Leeds fans that walked out with 15 minutes of the game left!

Fickle Leeds as usual like to follow a winning team

Some fans leave early happens with every team.

Whatever the reasons the fact remains the Dulls had a squad they couldn't afford and even selling 1 or 2 players may have saved jobs or at least paid some serious debts but the poxy RFL wrapped them in cotton wool when other clubs with past problems have been left to fend for themselves.
If the RFL had any nadgers at all they would have made sure they couldn't finish any higher than 14th and not awarded a farcical "Probationary SL franchise" for 2013 which we all know will turn into a full franchise now remind me who owns Odslum??
Wakey are there on form and merit whether posters rate them or not and lets give them some credit from where they started the season from scratch.
The top 8 format is a different discussion and i agree should be a top 5 but as the system is laid out Wakey are 8th and deserve it.

I think the Leeds fans are right. We are in the play-offs by a financial fluke and do not deserve to be there. The Leeds players will understand that when they run out to an empty Headingley (ignoring the full West Stand). The main battle for the Leeds players will be preserving their efforts for the trip to Perpignan six days later, and so if I was them, I would chill out Saturday and not expend too much effort during Saturday. They will sweep us aside in no time, and we all know that the true champions of Super League is the team that finishes fifth two years on the trot.

This game will be just like last week, with the masses from Wakefield looking accross the ground at empty terraces, where the home fans should be.
Lets hope that we see a few more Rhinos that the pitifull numbers that supported Salford.

Come on Trin !
