Andrew Chalmers and Graham Lowe have confirmed that they are the new
owners of the professional Rugby League club created in Bradford.
The new owners arrived late yesterday from New Zealand and immediately met a 25
strong playing group, interim management and coaching staff.
Speaking about the creation of the new club, Andrew Chalmers, said stage the RFL
have provided us with the detail and scrutiny that we expected for such an important
decision."
In addressing the players and coaching staff on Monday, Graham Lowe, said: âWe
do not see this as a quick fix and we will work through the immediate issue of
offering full-time playing contracts to the team. This is expected to be accomplished
in the next 48 hours and following that we will look at bolstering the playing squad as
necessary to replace those players who have secured contracts elsewhere."
Chalmers added, âWe are both really excited about the strength of the high
performance academy and the long term pathway opportunities that flow from this.
We understand that this is a frustrating time for fans who want to know what is
happening but I can assure you that we are working long hours with all interested
parties to cover a lot of ground. We are aware of the hunger for information and we
will update our position on a daily basis as and when we are able.
âA lot of work is required in a short space of time and we anticipate a lot of exciting
announcements to follow in the coming days and weeks.â
