HamsterChops got the link, and you're right, all the best players were going to sign elsewhere. You me and the rest of the rl world knew that, but not Nigel apparently. Also, he's just wrong technically, when they made the desicion the players had been made redundant, so we had zero players, not "the bulk of their squad left" as Nigel claims. Demonstrating he was either lieing about his revision of the events or incompetent as to understanding what was really happening. Either way it's not the actions of someone I'd trust to help sort out our problems.

So why not change that decision given what he now knows?

Good question. I'd hoped one of the rl journos might have picked up on it and asked some awkward questions or (God forbid) done some investigative journalism..... #doesn't hold breath#

It makes me think the failed bidders might have a point about the process not quite being fully transparent or fair.

Also, apologies for the thread drift, probably not the thread for my whinging!

I suspect you could come up with your own answers for that

I asked the original question on twitter fully not expecting it to be answered so was surprised it got a response - more than the journos seem to have gotten - even if it does raise more questions.

My follow up - which Mr Wood had plenty of time left in the chat to address but chose not to - is when was this "decision" made? The first public statement was after it had been announced the club was liquidated, so how can they realistically expect the squad to stay together.

Also the implication for his original answer could be read that he no longer thinks the Bulls position is fair! Thanks again for that top favour then Nige! Surprised no journos I have seen have picked up on it, as it's quite a frank admission for a tweet. Maybe now it's been posted on here it will...!

That said LE do seem to be pulling on the thread of the liquidation and the RFL's vested interest a little more every week. For me, they aren't pulling hard enough but something absolutely stinks about the whole process from somewhere and I hope it won't get dropped - alas like the past admins I fear it'll be forgotten by everyone else quite quickly

Comedy genius. I presume you posted that as part of the launch of Red Nose Day.




It should be interesting to see how many teams we come up against this season that don't have more of last years Bulls than we have.

Have KR announced their big plan to get loads of Bulls fans there yet? They need to hurry up.

If we turn up go hard and put the effort in that was seen at Huddersfield you can't really complain,
Its a long time since I have watched a game and it looks like the guys wanted to be there, last year was laughable £1m on a squad that didn't want to know.

Aim to get what we can from KR away then look to turn them over at Odsal!

Success for me personally would be something along the lines of a 36-16 loss. No crushed morale and plenty to build upon. But you have to fear the worst and realistically we could get a drubbing. I desperately don't want Rovers to run riot and get 70.

I'll be happy if they only get 70.
I fear it will be 136-6

Six? I think you need to calm down that optimism.
