it looks like the bulls will be playing till the end of the year , otherwise why would the rfl give them £200,000 for futre payments from sky. and another thing that seems likely, no more pies at the ground but can get a very good curry jeffthejoiner

Maybe I should have spelt it out: what evidence do you have to back your assertion that your list of clubs can be divided into those who can do what they want and those who can't?

Why should Bradford be made a special case and be forced to drop out of SL if they're able to find a buyer?

Wakefield weren't. London weren't. Crusaders got into this position every off-season they were in SL and only dropped out when told they weren't getting their franchise renewed. So why single out Bradford and say they MUST start again from the bottom?

That's not wallowing. That's flopping about like a demented seal.

Crusaders were not told they were not getting a licence. They pulled out themselves a short time before D-Day,due not being able to sustain their place in SL. Otherwise Wakey. would have gone out.

I believe they were told to pull out by the RFL. Besides which, it'd been all change every off-season for them. And without being privy to all the relevant information, you can't say for 100% that Wakey would have dropped out even if Crusaders had managed to put together a coherent bid.

But still, it doesn't change the question; Why should Bradford be singled out and be forced to start from the bottom?

Please can you tell me where it was ever stated by the RFL that wakey would not get a franchise?

No, i didn't think so.


All of this Bradford should be punished but i feel sorry for their fans is enough to make you spew!
All it is is a load of fans from all the clubs who perceive they have been unjustly treat in the past by the RFL revelling in the possibilty of one of the big boys suffering. Why don't you just admit it, rather than prentending to be defenders of justice?

They shouldn't be singled out in any way, just apply the rules and benefits in a straight line according to the rules, without showing preference of prejudice ?????

If Crusaders had not pulled out ,who in your opinion would have been sacrificed to make way for Widnes then?

At what point did I say you were laughing?




Ah, you mean the RFL were 'wheely, wheely mean' to your club....harden up lad.


Taking the out of one of your failposts is not belittling the situation....




Who made the final decision on that deal?


Sad fact is, the RFL cant save the Clubs from themselves...In a recent case, one Club found itself in difficulties partly because the directors had forcast reaching the playoffs...Luckily, the RFL were able to help negotiate the club out of the mire....I bet you were pleased.
....back to foaming about the RFL in 3....2...1..
