Shaping up very nicely!

Agree, start of a very good squad.

Been a bit detached on the other side of the world, can someone remind me what happens post this year regarding promotion / licensing?

Is Superleague going to be 12 teams for 2025 with licenses given later this year?
How long does the license last for? Is it a 3 year term?
The championship winners for 2025 therefore win the title and compete again in the championship for 2026?

Building a good team for next season, I honestly suspect you will be run away leaders next season barring a shock and Cas coming down for Toulouse. Hard to see the likes of Sheffield, Fev, Widnes and York been able to keep up.

Not sure about runaway leaders, I think with Wakey gone there will be quite a few clubs fancying their chances. We have some quality likely to leave yet, Doro is confirmed to be leaving etc.

I think the Bulls are quietly hoping for an increase to 14 teams SL in 2026 as this is probably our most realistic chance of promotion if the club keep progressing.

14 teams is the obvious choice, even if the two promoted clubs have less central distribution. I'm not saying that just because we're the current 14th team. Loop fixtures have gone from being a pain to an absolute cancer on the sport. Leeds V Wigan, which is one of the sports marquee fixtures, played each other for the first time a couple of weeks ago. That's round 21, when seasons can be almost over, in the middle of the summer holidays. They play each other again in 3 weeks time. No marketing gimmick can sell that.

Top spot will be wide open next year. We definitely won't be runaway leaders. Expect Fev to have another crack with new owners.

Can't see anyone being runaway leaders next year. There's not going to be a single fully professional side. Think Greg's setting us up to fail

I’d love us to be runaway leaders but we’ve not managed that since our relegation. We couldn’t do it in L1 either!

A pretty handy squad coming together though. With a few additions and us pushing for those extra percentages gains we could turn some of the close losses to close wins and put ourselves up there.

I'd be dubious about the claims coming out of Halifax that we are doubling their players contracts. They're having a tough time right now and are saying the right things to appease fans that are disappointed to see some of their better players leave.

If clubs are cutting cloth to suit smaller budgets then it stands to reason others will be paying more. Clubs losing their best players will always try and spin it to save face with their supporters. We've seen more than enough of that at the Bulls over the last 18 years.

Wonder how the recruitment to sign maizen from Whitehaven went.can play all along the backline with pace just what we are lacking .His try up there against us was outstanding.

Is Meadows confirmed? I must have missed that one.
