Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "My take on ChaLowe remains that i genuinely still have no clue what they are doing at our club. There are various theories and the one that seems least crazy is they are just placemen, and there is some background situation we don't know about. It never made sense for me for two randoms from NZ (with all due respect to the legendary Mr. lowe0 to have any desire interest or connection with a club in Bradford.
My take on this season is that someone - probably a mixture of our young lads, the coaching staff, and whoever negotaited the loan players - had improbably got us to a point where we were an actual force at this level, and for the first time in a long time I was enjoying our rugby. We somehow worked ourselves into a position where there was real optimism.
And then (despite everybody and his dog clearly seeing the train coming, ChaLowe did literally nothing to get out of its way. Why, I will never know. We always knew they had no money to offer (which adds hugely to my confusion as to why tf they got the club) but as a club we had beaten all odds to leave our destiny in our own hands, and ChaLowe then blew it. They ignored the train, they ignored everything everybody else knew, and so now ehre we are back to a team playing like schoolboys, and getiing flogged by 50-plus week in week out. Well, until next week when we may see the frst century by Hull KR unless they play their juniors out of kindness,
So are they the worst? Well, no, not quite yet, but yes potentially, as the turnaround in our fortunes over the past month has made me genuinely fear the absolute worst for our club. How they have turned the hardcore against them in such a short space of time, and got seriously commited long-term Bulls fans actively losing interest and considering whether to bother, is hard to fathom.
And if we drop to the bottom division, which will lead to the club folding, then yes, ChaLowe will not rank high on the owners' table.'"
..and they will have lost a valuable fan base, other teams found to be a prized revenue stream. How can the RFL run the game into the ground through sheer ineptitude, mismanagement or at worse collusion of common interests at the highest level.Not fit for purpose..and this, a so called 'family' sport.
