If you know that for a fact and not an assumption, then we should accept it. Sad though it would be to lose him, the survival of the club is all that matters.

I can't remember if the figure was definitely 300k but Hood has publicly stated that there is a written offer from Wire on the table.. or certainly was.

It was £300,000.

'was' being the operative word

Just because they were willing to pay that sum back then doesn't mean they'll pay it when we are on the cusp of Administration.

All I remember seeing in print was that offer was six figures from Wire.

£1000.00

Fact that we've refused to sell when it could potentially avoid admin says a lot too.
Thing people forget is players aren't assets like buildings or cars. Administrator can TRY to sell them but only works if they agree personal terms.

Their contracts are assets - see the "sale" of Lynch for £100K and he surely agreed terms that were favopurable to him
Bateman's contract is an asset, one of the most sought after in SL (or NRL ) with a potential further 14 years of playing at the top level.
I can see why clubs are making an offer now to ensure his transfer as its unclear what would happen to his contract under the various potential reformations of the Bulls.

Its well known that Burgess will complete his contract this year and go to Aus with his mother for next year.

It's more true to say that it is [ithought or assumed[/i that Tom will go to Aus. And he might well, though he's had the chance before and decided against, so I'd say it's pretty much open to doubt as to [iexactly[/i what he [iwill[/i do.

He has said there is no offer on the table at present!

yeah a bit like guilofoyle says a preffered bidder could guarentee wages during difficult period

I wonder if there is one? I mean, I guess [isome[/i contacts have been made, even at this early stage....I wonder who It might turn out to be....?

...you know who...
