In an odd way I am looking forward to next year. The Winter should allow my 'Bulls fatigue' to dissipate and with an off season without the drama we have all experienced over the past several years it will feel good to focus on matters on the paddock.

For myriad reasons I am hopeful of attending more games in 2015 if my schedule allows. The derbies should be fun and the novelty may be similar to that of Rangers playing in the lower leagues of Scottish football. I don't think the Bulls are going to necessarily sweep all before them as Rangers have done these past couple of seasons, but there is a common thread of the fallen giant starting over.

I have a sense that Super League may miss the Bulls more than the other way around.

That's good to know. Hopefully the other sponsors follow suit and, as well as having a full time first team, the Tong facilities and the academy can be continued to be supported.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to invite supporters to the Coral Stand for the event and put money back into the club.

Coral doesn't hold many though, I expect they're trying to fill the venue. I assumed that it was probably a relaunch of the lottery, only my guess though.

See Fosters tweet referring to 'tonight's lottery launch'? At least we know what to txpect

I can't see it, deleted perhaps?
