He's got to have some money in the bank. Even the RFL aren't that incompetent to choose someone with little cash and a liquidated company.

The RFL are risking everything to get this decision right. Its 100% their choice our next owner and the articles dont make great reading so something must have convinced them.

Exactly this. There would be (even more) egg on big Nige's face if this all goes t!ts up in 18 months.

Shut up Dad

As opposed to down his tie.

With a physique like that I seriously doubt he lets anything edible go to waste

Tweet from our man Gled Hearing that the RFL's preferred bid from ex-NZ chief Andrew Chalmers is successful. Expect player loan support from Salford.

If it comes off, though, it will probably feel like going back to where your house was before the tornado, and seeing what's left.

Don't forget they want us in the championship on -12 and getting thumped every week because we've lost most of our team, and they want this to start in a couple of weeks - it's amazing the effect a deadline can have.

So that when it all goes belly up again in 12 months time they'll be a long way away from having to face the players, staff and fans?

Or misplaced livestock.

Will need massive statement of intent to regain support. RL statement around 5pm (T&A)
