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.

Oh and Hull KR have just announced Moss.

Happy Saturday everyone

Hull KR have confirmed Moss.
Great way to bring everyone back to earth with a bump!

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..

Imposing these sort of sanctions certainly worked before didn't it because look at how we've prospered as a result!

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.

Looks a terrific prospect does Moss. Glad to have him on board.

Best in the league a country mile

I posted that link pages ago, and everyone ignored that one too psycho

Fingers crossed for the fledgling Phoenix. Hope that you're soon flying

First priority for next season is to find players who can defend. The squad last season proved they weren't up for it so at least those re-signing and any new guys have a chance to prove they are. All we can ask for is that the team leave everything they have on the pitch every week.

Well by all accounts Lowe & Chalmers are flying over from NZ this weekend.

Goy me thinking its a bloody long way to come and a lot to give up just to run a part-time team.

It's a shame Moss isn't re-signing as he really is excellent and will continue to rip it up at hkr. But to be fair he's not been our player for a while now and I'm glad for him he's sorted, and if he was going to stay in the championship but not with us it's better he's gone to hkr who will be beating us three times with or without Moss rather than one of our relegation bottom 8 rivals. It's those teams we need to make sure we don't lose to with the points carrying over into the playoffs.

However, we now need a coach announced, which I'm guessing will be at the same press conference as the new owners.
