Well looks like the RFL maybe doing their job and making sure signings aren't made if they can't afford them.

Tomorrow should be interesting if the players are paid on time, i'll feel more comfortable. If not, grab your tin hats everybody.


Maybe Chalmers needs to spend the next few months speaking to the fans rather than mud slinging in the T&A.

No Mark Wilson was regular up at Odsal for many years.Says it regular on his podcasts.

His sales pitch with season tickets will be worth hearing

Apparently he's going to talk to us all on Sunday at the game.

I for one am happy he's quiet...

1) He's not making any more enemies (and the mudslinging at the minute shows we have substantial enemies willing to leak stuff 'off the record' as Shaw puts it).
2) I don't want to hear 'The winding up petition is a mistake and will be lifted shortly' on repeat as green did.

I've not seen anywhere he's talking to us at HT. Think some of our Fans have put 2+2 together from the fact in the Leigh Beattie article it said that Leigh would be presented at HT along with latest academy products to sign professional contracts.

For a bit of light relief this is an interesting documentary about Australian hotel and casino group Crown Resorts. Who’s major shareholder is James Packer - Rusty Crowe’s partner at Souths.

He incidentally wrote off a huge debt incurred by the club a few years ago.

Probably too busy writing his column for Saturdays paper

It was announced on the full eighty minutes, whether it proves to be correct we shall have to see.

Announced by who? I’ve not read anything from an official source yet.

Is it just me who think that leaving it until Sunday to make some sort of statement is leaving it far too long.
There is alot of unrest now among supports our leader needs to step up and lead from the front immediately.
Could you imagine Lenaghan or McManus letting this drag for another 5 days?
Over to you Mr Chalmers ......

In isolation none of the recent rumours are too much to worry about. However, put together and with our recent history I need to know something now.

I appreciate we aren’t going to get told everything and I don’t expect to. It’s not my business - but after the last 3 administrations I aren’t renewing without being reassured I won’t be going through the same rigmarole as last time to get my money back.

I can’t afford it for one thing and the wife isn’t going to let me waste money we could use elsewhere on something that’s supposed to be a leisure past time. It’s so depressing as I thought we were getting somewhere.

It seems he only does a column for matchdays. Hence him not doing once last week and I can't wait for this weeks appraisal of the RL media....

The way I am seeing it, until I am told otherwise by someone actually in the know and prepared to put their name to it is someone is worried that the CBMDC/RFL/Bulls talks maybe fruitful (shows just what a numpty that person is) so they are leaking stuff we'd not normally find out about to fame hungry twitter-rats - who get a stalk on thinking they have a scoop - in the hope that the storm they create disrupts any weird and wonderful plans that may be being proposed whereby the RFL don't get back the £1.25m they paid for the lease because they *themselves* devalued it.

There's more than one club financially juggling all the time but only one is being outed. No questioning of the release of QLT from Fax for example, or any financial issues that may be underlying. Nothing to see there, move along.

While it’s annoying that CCJs issued to the Bulls might get bigger coverage that CCJs issued to other clubs in the past this wouldn’t be a problem if we paid our bills like a self respecting business should.

As has already been said if the players and staff all get paid and the CCJs get paid off then I’ll rest easier. If they don’t I shan’t be donning the tin hat because after the last time we went through this I chucked it away. I think another bout of missed wages, transfer embargoes, winding up petitions etc would be too much for me and quite a few others.

As for Chalmers I’ve seen the rumours of him addressing fans on Sunday. I’ve seen nothing official so doubt this is going to happen. In previous fiascos he tends to go to ground and this looks no different.

Agreed Bullseye. Another set of off field problems. And I'll be done and most likely the majority of fans will be. While some may cheer if the Bulls go bust, the sport will be poorer for losing it. Look at all the juniors we produce and how many clubs actually have a possibility of getting 10k+ plus crowds.

Can anyone confirm if players have been paid today

So - for the third time in a row the RFL have passed as fit - an owner for this club - who - for the third time is not up to the job.

For the third time - there remains three names still taking a wage - who were part of the "management" of the previous failed ownerships.

For the third time - there are ominous and all too familiar signs of another failed RFL approved owner.

If this pans out as per the previous ownerships we will be deducted ?? points this time and highly likely be back in league 1.

Players will leave the club.

There are many loyal and die hard supporters who are saying if we go under again - they are done - cannot take anymore.

The club will not survive another admin - so right now - we are in last chance saloon.

My own hope is Andrew Chalmers sells to club on and avoids admin - if there is an interested buyer of course.
