Rimmer here to stick the boot into the litigation. He feels those that brought it are "without moral compass" as he feels it derailed our 2017 campaign

Really! - so what about the fact that the RFL shoved us off the track before our campaign actually started!

Talk about people in glass houses!! Since when have the RFL kept to the moral code!

So basically Rimmer is trying to pass the blame - theres a phuqquing surprise.

He does realise that some of those he's talking about are bulls players and hes at the home of the bulls?

The guy's a dick

Is Rimmer now speaking?

Has the fighting started yet?

Please say he is getting some s**t.

Seems like it...



Good.

Sorry I went quiet. It seemed to kick off when he didn't answer my first question.

Basically fair play to him coming and taking the stick but for me couldn't answer any of the questions put to him.

Why the 12pm deduction... rule book.
Why not L1... unfair on other clubs
What rent do we pay... some but wouldn't say
Why punish new club... because others pay their way and cannot seem to favour one (this was my favourite as he contradicted himself and made so many u turns I thought I was watch Teresa May!!!).
Why punish new club as old did wrong... owners knew what they were getting into plus rule book (10000 pages apparently saying what happens if clubs financially falter but again nothing on new clubs)
RFL board are very professionally and sorry if you don't agree.

He did end up getting a bit snappy but not many happy campers in there today.

Felt for Leon at the end. Looked like a guy that's been through a lot. He seemed to be close to tears throughout and made good points about failure of club starting with club letting go of all talent back in mid 2000's.

Also thanks AC personally for supporting him throughout all his difficulties both financially and emotionally. Said club could have been tough but have helped him through this.

AC and Duffy both ended by saying Leigh Beattie had massive influence on Ethan staying. Spent entire afternoon with him after Leigh went down and then all seemed to move quite quickly.

Again sorry went quiet but got heated very quickly!!!

Ta for update.
If AC supported Leon I respect the guy for that.

Followed it on the T&A blog where it said Rimmer claimed that the RFL were a very professional organisation actually, "cue hysterical laughter in the audience".

Credit to him for going but I suspect he didn't quite know what he was letting himself in for

I know we all may not always agree on matters with club direction and actions but fair play to AC for that. The way Leon embraced him at end I'd suggest he's grateful.

No probs on update. Sure there were other things I've missed but tried to cover the main points.

The room erupted with laughter when he said that... talk about self importance and pats on back!!!

No real groundbreaking announcements then. Did the RAB tinted brigade slash Rimmer's tyres?

Thanks BEIML for the updates.

Rimmer is totally disingenuous. There is nothing in the rule book saying that a new applicant has to be deducted 12 points to gain membership of the RFL. That applies to existing members that have an insolvency event or whatever the terminology is. the rule is that the RFL can put such conditions on membership as they want. Which implies CHOICE. Sorry about the shouting. Blaming the rules is the first defence of a jobsworth.

Is there any explanation as to why it would be unfair on other clubs that we end up in C1?

Any explanation of the shenanigans around the rejected offers leading to liquidation one day and the RFL hanging out a healthy looking carrot riddled inside with tape worm as bait for their "friends" the next?

Any answer from gerbilchops on why Cha added that rumour-creating qualification to his statement that we are in C1 next year? Has Cha been following Mick on witter and had his brains melted like chinchillachops?

Dampnation, missed one there. BEAVERchops.

So the point of Rimmer being there was??

To suggest to the Bulls fans that the RFL were not to blame for the minus 12, wrong league, fixture protecting debacle?

He suggested the blame should be aimed toward;
1. The rule book
2. The other clubs
3. The players going to ET for unfair dismissal

So the RFL are scott-free in all this - Well thanks Ralph, its nice to know you're here - now phuqq off
