Don't shoot me down but did anyone see micks comment on twitter about an nrl director that is putting a bid together?

It has since been removed,

There may be some interesting bids coming in, I know it's Mick but a bit of food for thought

No it's not. Mick averages three deleted tweets a day.

Ask me how I know!

(I exaggerate. It's a lie that points to a greater truth)

Dont think ut was Mick, think it was a parody account. Actually the parody account is more likely to be accurate than Mick

Quote: vbfg "Bradford's best bet would be to move from Odsal. If there's no money then everything else is wondow dressing and nobody has learnt a goddamn thing. Screw around with team budgets, deckchairs, etc all day. I suggest chiselling the concrete boots off.'"

Can't disagree.

I would suggest, New Club, new start in CH1, keep your academy lads & blood a good few at this level. Cut costs, (this will happen anyway as the best players, Chisolm, Moss et al find a new gig elsewhere).

Stabilise the Club & base future prosperity on youth set up.

[iGet Away from Odsal !!![/i

Toronto Rat-Pack & Rowley already rumbling discontent at New Bradford in Championship, this would remove that particular issue.

Go CH1 to CH hopefully in 1 season then build over 3 - 4 seasons towards SL, if the finances/support base/squad depth allows.

Just a thought.

To be fair to Rowley, he didn't actually say anything wrong.

Quote: HamsterChops "And there goes O'Brien. Confirmed by Huddersfield on a 3 year contract.

The sheer amount of young talent Huddersfield take from Bradford is unreal. Not that I blame them for signing him or O'Brien for securing his future. But why would Huddersfield bother with a proper academy system when they continue to get the best young talent from us?'"


Last year Giants had about 34 in their squad. I think 14 were academy products inc 3 full internationals + 1 England Knight + several academy internationals. (with 4 non UK players)

In 2016 ofthe top 34 Bulls players there were I think 7 from the Bulls academy. No full internationals among them. (with 6? non UK players)

So it looks like The Giants academy - though not in your class - is doing a decent job and is probably worth persevering with.

last year ex Bulls Wardle / Roberts and Patrick (briefly) featured for the Giants. In 2017 Roberts, Foster and O'Brien will be valuable members of the squad but it would be a stretch to say that they outnumber or outshine the club developed talent.

Now the Giants are playing Friday nights I hope you guys pull through and play Sundays - I'd try and get to plenty of your home games.

With every player that's announced as leaving, I become more comfortable about not finding a buyer. The prospect of what we will be left at the moment doesn't really appeal to me.

Might as well dual-reg with Huddersfield - most of their squad know their way around Odsal already

Quote: Wheels "To be fair to Rowley, he didn't actually say anything wrong.'"


Well, no he didn't true enough.

It's just the way he feels it's a sin to put the Bulls in the championship because it's unfair on all the other clubs who have had to work their way up - but apparently it would be alright to put Toronto in the championship even though they are a new club, just the same as us. Hypocritical or what?

Not that I want to be in the championship, that's the RFL's idea, I go along with the vast majority on here who favour champ 1 and build.

Quote: Dezzies_right_hook "Lol Warrington run at a profit our profits fell 500k in 2015 and we still made a profit that year our net worth is 10m Simon morals money has been used not only on players but in creating a sustainable club. Leeds also run a profit as do other clubs

The TV deal is 1.8m a season so it covers the cap so how a club runs it's off the pitch business is a huge factor in sustainability, there are things happening at the hj midweek that the club makes money from as they have the facilities.'"

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.:



Quote: Pumpetypump "I have reached a sensible mental state of accepting there is no Bradford. I'm not latching on to any heresay or rumour as it's a painful business.

Have we established if we are allowed to kidnap, kill and eat social media types who write "good riddance"? I do feel like that might be a nice thing to do.'"


The traditional response is to burn their houses down iirc
