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

Big wraps to you bulls fans, take my hat off to you. I am still in massive sulk mode after last season and have not re-newed my pass and am finding it very hard to motivate myself to the new season, you guys nearly did,nt have a club. I think you might be underestimating your boys who i think will be seriously up for it, and i dont forsee a "Hammering". This is Hull KR we talking about and it would,nt surprise me in the least if it ended up a cliffhanger or you Knicking it. Good look for the season

That really made me smile.

HKR are promoting a 'bring-a-friend' offer to HKR members to swell the numbers - this happened last year for the opener against Leeds - but as for enticing the Bulls fanbase I have seen no announcements.

Maybe there will be a late offer after conferring with the new Bulls regime, but as you say it is late in the day (or week).

It would be great to set a new Championship attendance record, and maybe it will happen if the way your fans swelled the gate at Keighley last weekend can be a measure.

I can't see us getting hammered. Icon see us nicking it.

I'll have a pint of whatever you're drinking Mick
