Quote: Highlander "This is a concern. And the RFL have created the situation we find ourselves in. Our new owners and their finances (and therefore the squad they can get) and the timeframe before the season starts, have been hand picked by the RFL. So the squad we will field will , in part, have been predicted by the RFL, as well as most fans who follow the club.
Worst case scenario, if we, as is possible, field a 17man squad with 7 academy kids in it against a basically SL squad and 2 or 3 of those kids end up with significant injuries, that is an entirely predictable and avoidable player welfare screwup which the RFL will be mostly responsible for.'"
Correct. And Nigel woods said on Twitter they assumed the Bulls would have our previous squad when they picked our league and minus 12. So they assumed that was a suitable punishment for a top half team, not a collection of kids and leon. Put a bad injury run and no reinforcements on the horizon amd we'll be lucky to get above zero. We desperatly need good luck with injury and some more forwards.
