Chalmers wasn't supposed to be on his own.

Wood and the RFL hand picked the dynamic duo of Lowe and Chalmers who both knew they were getting the club before liquidation.

People who'd thrown their hats in the ring before and were preparing new bids were told not to bother doing so again and the club was subsequently liquidated.

My guess is the Lowe/Chalmers partnership was meant to get us to the time Nigel quit the IRFL and then 'sell' to him. It looks like Chalmers, left to his own devices, went rouge and got delusions of walking the team out at Wembley.

I still believe Nige had a plan, whether that would benefit him more than the Bulls remained to be seen but if rumours are true and Mrs Wood is divorcing him and taking 50% he's in a precarious position both clubwise and personally.

We may well be collateral damage if he's made a lot of 'loans' to the club and she wants that money back as part of her settlement.

You can only speculate that he had the money to buy the lease, move us out and sell the land and make a pretty penny... he talked about it enough but it looks like it's coming off the rails.

My aims now are to make sure no team, apart from Fev and Leigh “do the double” over us. And if by some miracle we go to Halifax, Sheffield, Barrow and York and win - that proves to me that Odsal is a playing liability as well as a financial one.

The debt was publicly known, I think I could’ve worded it better. I remember reading an interview where it was said he could’ve placed the club into administration and cleared the debts but the hierarchy felt for once the club needed to do the right thing. That was a big tick for me. Things are far from perfect but would people sacrifice good deeds and intentions for danger/higher % of success?

Hmmm?

Yeah it's the wording. And the numbers. Other than that you're bang on.

that's really not what the money is meant for is it
