So when are the new owners going to show themselves off to the world? Today? Tomorrow?? Thirteenth Wednesday after Pentecost?

Fully expecting to hear absolutely nothing today.
Except maybe some more player departures

There will be a few more twist and turns before this drama ends

Is there anything to be said for saying another mass???

Is Dane off to Wakefield and hearing Omari is off to Leeds Carnegi

Astonishing

Well, its not as if there's any reason to hurry...

To be honest, i'd rather they use their time to sit with players & staff and get that all sorted.

Are the two mutually exclusive? A half hour press conference would still leave most of the day for sorting out player contracts and stuff...

If as one of our in-the-know moles says contracts are being offered at 60% off, then that ain't gonna take long.

Absolutely - and it may be that it's [istill[/i the best offer on the table.

And I know how inspired and raring to go [not] that would have left me, if I'd been offered a 60% reduction in wages in order to keep my job...

How would an ex junior players dad know that? on Saturday

Especially when the League express says as of yesterday afternoon non of the old staff or players had heard from the new owners?

I fully expect to be underwhelmed as soon as we do know the details of the takeover though.

For some players, that may be their current market value. If their previous contract was negotiated when the Bulls was a top 2 championship team, their poor performance and fifth place finish will no doubt impact on that. They can't expect to command the same salary at a new club when they failed to deliver performance wise.

For the rump of crap players and non-riers to whom that applies, looks like that is pretty much all we'll be left with. i still pray for one or two exceptions but as each day goes by with our catastrophically incommunicado new "owners" dng fsck all to make any attemtp to salvage the best parts of our setup, I am rapidly getting the picture - they clearly don't WANT to be left with a single expensive player when the season starts.

That seems crystal clear to me know. they WANT them all to go.

They could use the press conference to say that, as relegation is a foregone conclusion, and because the RFL wouldn't let us start in the correct division, we'll be getting the cheapest 17 we can and going down with some record losses. Oh and by the way we've signed X, Y, and Z for our 2018 promotion push.

They could point out that unless you've mug written on your forehead you'd be bonkers to buy summer bash tickets too.
