Reading between the lines of the RFL press release the bidders now know what the RFL want and have gone away to think about it. Frank seemed to be quite comfortable about it.

My worry is that it’s a bunch of chancers who’ve got to show proof of funds and they’re unable to do that.

Gary Carter (who admittedly seems to get a lot wrong) is saying they have until midday to lodge their offer.

Surely they wouldn't become so entrenched in negotiations if they knew they hadn't got the funds to go through with it?

Well done for saying that. I have always thought their heart was in the right place and could,'t win whatever they did.

It's the Sun. I'm going to have to wash my eyes out now.

He also says it is definitely Chalmers and Lowe. Everything crossed.

Probably just another guttermouthed pleb who knows feck all.

He also mentions they're not training though, which I'm sure has been proven to be incorrect somewhere?

So maybe he's doing the Gledhill style of reporting. Wouldn't be the first time with Carter tbh, he doesn't seem very reliable.

They are training. There was a post training picture of them in Costa tong yesterday. Pretty sure Red confirmed it.

I've always suspected that they are inept but not malicious. We are a tinpot sport and shouldn't really be surprised when we don't have a slick governing body. We want them to accept culpability for their mistakes towards us, but the flipside of that has to be a willingness for us to say thanks when they put in the hard yards for us. IF indeed they have sought to help us proactively.

That was before the meeting with the RFL.

The S*n journo will just be re-packaging information he's got from other sources. No way would he have been bothered to find out the facts himself.
