Before you start saying that most of them were not worth keeping, 16 of them are currently on the books at either a SL or NRL club and 2 of them play in the Championship.
Compare this to Wakefield who released/sold 10 players last year and replaced them with 8 more this season, I'm not seeing the cloth cutting that some suggest.'"
Unfortuneately despite all the goings over comings the wages bill stayed the same......right up to salary cap.
Other clubs in difficulty will argue they did not pay up to cap as they recognized they would not have the income to pay up to cap.
Ok very proudly told fans from the off he would be paying up to cap.
But by August last year was struggling to and indeed the RFL had cause to intervene far far earlier than this year in January.
Of course the RFL know a great deal about the bulls insolvency situation.
They have continually in 3 years had to intervene at various times when players could not be paid.
The whole game needs to take one big long look in the mirror.
Look how the money men are behaving.The Doc gets rid of Nobby as success was not delivered inside a couple of minutes.Bit like the Chelsea man.
What I think even Bulls and Wakefioeld fans agree on is the rules and more importantly the penalties need to be clearer to take account of any eventualities that could arise in future.
Otherwise someone will always feel hard done to.
Like £1.2 million"s worth of unpaid bill people.
That could be nearer 32 million if Ok is believed or proved to have spent on the bulls behalf £600 grand the administrater can find no record of.
Shambles.
You would not run a school tuck shop as badly as this
