Agreed. I think the Bulls going up (almost inevitable) is a strategy designed to save the whole sport not just the Bulls. Odsal is viable for a few years with £1m and gives the game, the RFL, SL and of course the Bulls and Bradford Council time to get cracking on a long term plan, Richard Dunn and another ground.

This is a worthy risk for all in these very worrying and troubled times.

The ground decision, who goes into super league will be decided on the 16th

Decided or announced? I suspect it was decided before the criteria was written.

Haha I’m not for counting chickens like that

Yes I agree, and I'd also suggest that whoever is getting the 12th spot has already been told, even in a nudge nudge wink wink sort of way. I don't believe this has been a genuine process.

you are correct
its Toulouse

If all was fair in Love and war YES. see you in the Coral Stand in August.

Question though... when is it all fair when it comes to rugby league?

This thread is now descending into a realm somewhat beyond the one of phantasy..

Well you've said that an awful lot on various forums. I'd be happy with that but share with us why you seem so certain.

Well it can't be us , we've got the Betfred championship logo on the new shirts. !!!

It would be poetic justice that we finally get some shirts released and in stock for Christmas just for them to be out of date by the time the season starts!

I still don’t think it’s us (shouldn’t be us) but, as someone else mentioned, the backlash on social media from some fans that we would even have the cheek to even apply is quite impressive... some very upset people and it’s only rumours at the moment
