From a purely financial standpoint I can see where you are coming from - but there couldn't be a merger with RU - just abject surrender and takeover ie end of RL in the UK. If you look at recent history the RFU make the RFL look well organised, plus at a grassroots club level most RU clubs have trouble balancing their budgets. It is only the international game and sugar daddies in the premiership clubs keeping them afloat in there current state.

Unfortunately I don't work for the RFL nor do I claim to know the ins and outs of the licence system, however from the outside looking in there seems to be some faults with the system and the people who are at the helm are the ones to work out a solution.

Don't you mean "be taken over by" rather than "merge with" ?

RFL will be groaning at this one it makes you wonder if they are fit for purpose the RFL that is

If Salford's woes continue should the RL community help them out too !.

(I guess Salford must have given some support for bulls financial situation !)

After the bulls woes, - maybe the same time and help has to be given to Salford AND all other clubs in future ?


RFL may be have started something they carn't stop ?

No reason to be snide against salford but if they are in this situation how could they have given support (financial i mean) to bradford.

As a Bradford and RL fan, i hope any team under the same financial situation receives the same amount of help as the Bulls have done from the RFL and 'other clubs/supporters'

Not sure if you comments we're a little 'tongue in cheek' but i'm not sure what other response you were expecting from the Bradford fans?

They're both a disgrace. The RFL is a backwards disgrace.

All SL chairman voted to support them, "financially ", keep them going, till the end of the season, thats why the bulls are still hanging on to stability.!

(I admit the other RL clubs were thinking of themselves TOO !) ....but thats RL for you !.

An ecargsid? It's a joke.
