Seems that way. Decision is purely the RFLs to make now.

Agreed cant believe i still saw Moss & Burr training. Thought Moss would definitely have been snapped up by now.

Was also great to see young Jake Trueman in that pic. Hopefully we can keep hold of him. Special young player.

Didn't I read that the 50k was money owed to other clubs? Which would mean the inclusion of paying that debt is the RFL looking after other member clubs who were owed money by the previous Bradford incarnation. Which if true, as much as I feel for the local businesses, that is good that the RFL are doing exactly what they should be doing in looking out for it's members' interests. For once.

I thought/hoped one of the young lads might be Trueman. Was he on the far right hand side of one of the pictures? Maybe he is enjoying training/learning from Leon? I saw a tweet from Leon the other week saying Trueman had taken him on in training and scored a brilliant try.

Kavanagh was one I was really pleased to see in the picture. Alongside Joseph and Burr he will one of the only experienced heads in the pack. His performances at the end of last season were really good.

Just hope they can stick it out a few more days and whoever gets the go ahead to start a new club offers them something worthwhile.

The new Bradford club would probably not be able to sign overseas players straight away so Burr and others may not be available.

I thought Catalan Dragons and Celtic Crusaders were able to and they were both new clubs weren't they.

Toronto as well! Should be able to sign who we want really.

Typically the T&A report today that Chisholm, Moss and Kavanagh are the next ones "likely" to leave.

Give us a break!

Well yeah. The RFL have put down as criteria that the newco owners must be able to financially guarantee a minimum of 3 years. So they'll already have shown they have the money to back up their plan

But obviously, that's on the assumption that newco will be a FT time team

Well let's see. Nothing confirmed yet. Chisholm has EU status so may be less complicated.

No one knows what's gonna happen. For all we no the RFL may reject all bids.

Chisholm has been on Facebook stating he wants to stay, along with Peltier. I know this isn't exactly new news. But I'd be more inclined to believe the player at this moment, considering they were annoyed at being fed false info so I can't exactly see them doing that.

In the event that they do go we still half a 'team' sort of. Can't see it surviving in the Champ though :/

Campbell
Caro
Ryan
Oakes
Macani
Pryce
Keyes
Magrin
Lumb
Joseph
Foster
Burr
Bentley

Halafihi
Peltier
Kirk
Mendieka

Trueman, Thomas, Rickett as reserves. Can't think of the others at the moment. That's if Chisholm, Kavanagh and Moss go.

I would imagine one or two signings before the season starts plus a few loan players. Would deffo look into getting a few second-rows to mover Foster back out wide and Burr to 13.

A couple of things:-
The original RFL statement said a professional team playing in Bradford, didn't stipulate playing at Odsal which is crippling any club with the upkeep to current H & S standards. Also if it's post liquidation what has the new club got as the administrator will likely be selling anything that isn't nailed down. No kit, no training equipment, no match day facilities, Jesus he might be vein be selling the corner flags the goal posts and padding. Is he trying to sell the coral stand as well. ...??? Surely the RFL are going to make sure that essential equipment is purchased from the administrator before he can dispose of it, it must be the least they can do

Is that logistically possible? If the RFL were to approve new owners this week, surely the formalities will not be complete before the Batley game. So who would employ and be liable for the welfare of those players?

If I were a new owner I wouldnt want a game to take place, supposedly in my name, until I knew that all the formalities were complete, players and staff (including medical) were contracted, insurance arrangements in place etc etc
