| Quote woolly07="woolly07"This is what a few of us were talking about last night.
If we are a completely new club with new owners that has been put into the championship rather than CH.1 by the RFL - then why the 12 point deduction? Why is a new club being penalised rather than putting it straight into CH.1 which most supporters wanted.
I understand this if it were the same owners and same club but all reports refer to us as a new club. The old club went out of business two weeks ago - didn't it. I don't understand this bit.
Are we a completely new club just like Toronto - if so, then dock them 12 points as well to make starting a new team fair for everyone. I am guessing we can't actually be a new club. We must be the same club to receive their punishment.'"
The problem the RFL has is that if the penalty was not kept in place, what would stop other clubs just being liquidated and starting up again. There has to be an incentive to continue to trade despite problems. I would guess this has been agreed to as part of the process. So it can not be challenged later. |

| Quote vbfg="vbfg"I do not understand the notion or even the suspicion of moving the club elsewhere. Surely you'd just award a place to such an organisation. Why would you take an unsuccessful brand after it has been liquidated and which to some extent has become toxic and then try and rig sails to it somewhere else? And what then of your attempts to save RL in one of its largest founding towns where crowds do still show up?'"
I know, it doesn't make sense. I just thought it was interesting to note that The Orcas are registered as a director of the company and Chalmers and the RFL have had discussions in the past apparently.
It might be good for Bradford if it is the same people that wanted to start an NRL franchise as you'd think for those sort of plans they'd have to have a serious amount of cash. |

RE The 12 point deduction, i too dont understand, as i have said before the only ones being punished for whatever wrongdoing that caused this mess is the new owners and the supporters.. And as stated we are a NEW club being formed in Bradford that will play at Odsal. Unless there is a cunning plan being hatched... I fully expect the new owners to take advantage of offers of players from Salford & Hull and of course the Salford connection is intriguing... Maybe they will attempt to put together a formidable team worthy of beating the rest of the league with loan players managed by Rohan and led by Leon and Dane and that is the reason players were leaving without any attempt to keep them ? (that we know of)
Whatever the plan i think more twists and surprises will come..

Cue the ****** on the Bulls banter FB page going into meltdown.
Really es me off when they talk about KR signing are player. Not because they are technically incorrect he was an unattached player made redundant by a club that no longer trades. It es me off because of the use of the word are instead of our. |

It's like the worst of both systems. Players can leave because the bulls don't exist but we get 12 points deducted because we went into admin. Maybe they should say that the 12 points deduction is to allow the new company to start in Championship instead of CH1. |

| Quote psychostring="psychostring"So we will officially have a club to support this season on minus 12 in the Championship as per the RFL press release.
The BBC article states that the club will play at Odsal and speculates that the consortium is the Andrew Chalmers consortium. A company was registered on Companies House yesterday afternoon in the name Bradford Bulls 2017 by Andrew Chalmers and The Orcas Rugby League. They appear to be a NZ RL team that competed against Gold Coast Titans for an NRL franchise and subsequently discussed joining Super League. Interesting. [urlhttp://metro.co.uk/2007/04/08/orcas-bid-to-join-super-league-254013/[/url
Perhaps my suspicious mind working in overdrive but given the introduction of one international team to our competition in Toronto, is it surprising that the RFL find giving this consortium the chance to start a Bradford club "exciting"?
Anyway, we wait for next week for more news. I'm glad I have a new Bradford team to support for now and imagine the next 3 weeks is going to be extremely busy news wise in the build up to our opening game.'"
I posted that link pages ago, and everyone ignored that one too psycho  |
