Looks like there could be more good news during week according to bulls live scores twitter feed.

Can't see anything there. What am I missing?

Don't know how to link to tweets but here's a cut and paste of the content.

The good news is that I have just bought my season ticket! One thing that puzzles me is why the receipt for my credit card payment is from EPIC HOTELS?

When my dad went to Odsal on Friday to pay for his ticket, he said Nas was having his picture taken out at the top of the stadium. He asked someone if he had signed up and the response he got was "Well he certainly looks happy, doesn't he".

So I think 1 piece of news this week, will be the new contract given to Nas!

Briliant news if true. Another possitive step forward

I had to unfollow the live scores twitter account. It's now been ruined since Mick took it over - it now just spams the twitter feed with every new word he finds in the dictionary in each report.

Gerbelly had it right, score updates. That's all it did and in normal English. Now it's all this #youknowyourabullsfan . Eugh, rant over.

I wish Duffy ran it.

Strange story in the T&A today (Mon) saying that the Kopczak contract problem is holding up other deals, naming amongst others Ainey's re-signing. I can understand, to some extent, why it might impact on singing another prop, though we're still short in that department even if Koppy doesn't move (and I can't see him playing for us again anyway, to be honest, however the legalities pan out). I doubt that Koppy was on mega-money either so I wouldn't expect it to be a money problem either.....Mmm, strange.

When i read it, I also thought this was a little odd. To say that we can't spend any more, when all those players left/retired, made me think that we're spending well short of the full cap this year.

After I spent a little time thinking about it, I changed my mind-set. Over the past year the T&A has been used to get the Bulls to express discontent with the RFL (over the sale of the club/points deduction etc.). I think the article was worded in such a way, that it's actually a message to the RFL to pull their fingers out. Even if Koppy changed his mind, i still expect us to retain some of the OOC players.

Just took a look on Sky Sports News and the same story is written there. It seems the Bulls are using the media to pressurize the RFL to come to their decision. (Nothing wrong with that, by the way!)

I've unfollowed it n' all. Just stick to the scores dammit.

Well Bateman and Gale will be on significantly improved deals, so that will swallow up a fair bit of cash that was released with the loss of the likes of Elima, Hargreaves, Burgess, Jeffries etc. I expect Cummins wants to know his budget before signing up others.

Has Sammut definitely got dispensation to stay at the Bulls. I expect he would take a fair slice of salary too.

As for Kopout - he's gone. Just depends on whether we get any compensation or not and how soon the RFL clarify matters.

Yeah, I read the bit about the RFL making the decision over Kopczak's registration, and to be honest, it was stuck in a bit, well I've got to say awkwardly, into the paragraph. The thing to me was that we still need to recruit - Koppy or no Koppy - and as far as I know there is no embargo on signings now, so we still need another prop (to cover Tom Burgess) as well as, let's be honest, another to cover Kopczak, 'cos whatever they decide he's unlikely, in the extreme, to be playing for us again. So why a registration problem with one guy, who would have been far from a 'marquee' player, should stop us signing Ainey, Donno and the other re-signs, and even another prop from outside, is beyond me, to be honest.
