Quote: HamsterChops "A number of clubs in League 1 were fresh formed and went straight into there without the need to go up through other divisions. Clubs with much less history and more to the point, much less community clubs that feed into them. The whole point about sustaining Pro RL in Bradford is to do with the amount of players that have come through the system in the local area, which the RFL don't want to lose. And understandably considering how many of the recent England squad came via that route.
It's not about "doing favours for Bradford Bulls", it's about the local area and what a pro RL club in the Bradford area offers the sport.'"
Of course you are right, i was trying to say it could have been a lot worse, i honestly believe the RFL want a competitive Bradford this season, i think you will find a lot of other clubs, want a a competitive Bradford, i can see quite a few clubs prepared to allow some of their players on season long loans to you, i think you will avoid relegation, best of luck anyway, if i upset anybody i genuinely didn't mean to especially at this time when nerves are threaded.
