I'm surprised the news got up there so quickly, it was only announced on Wednesday.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |

If we are a new club it would be proper (and more beneficial in the long run IMHO) to start at the bottom (C1) with the same points and chances as everyone else as opposed to starting in the champ with minus 12 and fighting relegation from the first kick. I couldn't really care what anyone else thinks, we have far bigger concerns first, its just the silver lining that it also marries up to what I think the general consensus of RL fans is that a new club should start from the bottom.
If were somehow bought out of admin/limbo and not liquidation then staying in the champ might be more of a goer depending on the sporting sanctions/owner'"
Well, if we stay in Champ for 2017 we'll likely be in champ1 for 2018
If we go to champ1 for 2017, we'll have a shot at being in Champ for 2018

| HELP! (Not Good or Bad, just indifferent news)
So we go into administration; but lots of people interested in buying us; then no-one buys us; then liquidation; then posts get merged; then we're not in liquidation; but backhander bidder is going to buy us; then he's not; and one of the secret bidders has abbreviations BBC; wtf?
I thought I was confused, but now I dont even know if I am confused or not?
Is this an extended version of Scrooge; we've seen the spirit from the future - but it may not happen?
Is someone feeding hallucinogenic mushrooms through these threads?

Correct, assuming minus 12 in champ and zero points in c1. Plus it's just the right thing for a new club if that's what we're to be.

| But, the league is not the thing yet. Getting owners we can trust who want to and have the means to move us forward is the only thing to matter really at the mo. Until then we're nothing and it's all just hot air and a waste of time.

Where's this come from? Please don't tell me it's one of Mick's 'cryptic' clues?

| You wouldn't think it would be so hard for the RFL to ask all the C1 clubs if they wanted to take our place and then work from there.
If Whitehaven said yes then it's theirs. If they don't want it then put the names in a hat. Could sort it out in an hour.

| Cannot see how promoting Toronto would work ? Their CC & first 5 league matches are in the UK . They are not playing home/away/home/away in March & April anyway.

I would add to that, how quickly it is sorted out so that we can re-sign as many as possible of the remaining former squad members. Quite a few of the higher earners have already gone but with,say, just a six point drop we'd still have a sporting chance of at least avoiding relegation.
That's all I ask - a sporting chance, an actual reason to drag my backside up to Odsal each week, a chance to dream - isn't that all every sports fan asks?

Don`t forget the LLS matey. When the bulls were a nonentity.
And I`m not having a go at the Bulls, I am genuinely sorry about the situation, it`s just the turds like you having a pop.
We could have had more silverware if our chairman had spent more and creamed off less than those in charge of the Bulls in the glory days. Too many on the gravy train when they were getting 15,000 crowds.
