Does hurt, but just wanted to satisfy myself there wasn't a whiff of hypocrisy, which there wasn't, so good luck to Cas as well!!

PS Didn't we get Michael Platt on the same basis in 2007, with relegation triggering contract cancellations? You could say we got one good and not so.......

Out of all the clubs im glad he's gone to Cas. Good club. Well run and one if the few reasons i watched SL last year. They also focus on youth development so im glad his talents wont be wasted.

I agree gutting though. We were so close of bearing the fruits of our labour with these young kids. But im sure it was worth signing...

Richie Mathers, Johnny Walker, Vila Halafihi, Dave Peterson, Chris Uligia, Samir Tahraoui, Karl Davies, James Mendieka, Johnny Campbell,
Dan Fleming, JPB, Lucas Walshaw to sacrifice theze young players.

How much did it cost each player per appearance Mr Green Ferres & Lowes.

Run by amateurs

I'm loving this special privilege we are getting from the RFL. All our players cherry picked for other sides, while we have to try and cobble together a team to play, never mind compete, in the next few weeks. We are so lucky.


This it totally gutting this. It makes me very sad.

Hey don't knock these guys, they might be the core of our team this season.

That is unless SL clubs come with better offers

You got Platt, who i thought very unfairly ridiculed on here by some. You also, eventually, got Wayne Godwin & i'm sure there was one other but I'm buggered if I can remember who it was.

Bullmania's point remains though. The rugby genius of Lowes and Ferres working together to sign so many players that were patently not up to it or were either never given a chance, recruited on a whim, dropped for no reason or sank without a trace while at the same time others were picked repeatedly despite being utterly rubbish was a huge reason we're in this mess.

Was Ferres really recommended by the RFL? If so I think they owe us.

tigertot - the other was Ryan Hudson

To be fair though, even if they'd got this right, we'd have still had Green at the helm so would still have been totally screwed at some point. I was happy to blame it all on Ferres and see Green as unfortunate but not [ibad[/i. Given the comments from the adminisrator about lack of management information as well as my own insider stories of his behaviour, I can't help but think that we were screwed no matter what with Green in charge. At least that particular false dawn is over.

I've seen this tweet from Mick (yes, i know, but..)

"One of the prospective new owners interested has said that there is exception for leave of insolvency section 216 via application of appeal"

In response to Rodd Studd questioning whether new owners would be allowed to use the Bulls brand...

Is there any truth in this? Does this mean that potentially the club itself could still avoid liquidation after all and still be able to operate as the Bradford Bulls?

Christ, he'd completely gone from my memory. A cracking player.

Don't think so, it means that at the discretion of the court the NewCo can use the Bradford Bulls name/brand etc

1. It's from Mick.
2. It's from Mick.
3. It also includes Rod Studd

As I understand it the liquidator can sell the name as it's a registered trademark. Sounds like someone wants it cheap! Liquidation is a done deal.

I'm sure we'd have gone bust at some point but with more careful squad management we might have scraped it into 4th place and put of admin v3.0 until some point next season.
