I think he's alluding to the fact that we will be unable to spend the salary cap next season based on last year's income, and we certainly don't want to go down the route of others who have spent more than they can actually afford on players. You can bet your bottom dollar that the RFL wouldn't be saving Castleford if we were to get into a similar situation.

The RFL didn't save the Bulls, they did what they could to help them but it didn't succeed, the Bulls would have been liquidated at midnight if the OKB hadn't bought the club. OKB saved the Bulls. At a huge cost.

I'd bet the RFL would do what they could for any club, but that's another story. I was asking about Cas.

OK, that should read "the RFL wouldn't do everything they could to help Castleford out".

That would appear to be very poor reporting of rlthisrl. They seem to have missed the rather important context of the meeting next Tuesday.

Timed perfectly to collide with Maurice Watkins' candyfloss like statement yesterday. Smokey will be along momentarily to erect the level crossing barrier.

That bloke with nothing on has just gone past again with Clingons on his starboard bow and a load of strange folk commenting on the gold braid that adorns his gown.

The club is in a precarious position in as much as we don't have a bottomless pit of money plus the fact that we have licensing to contend with again from next season.

Odds on Salford woes to come out next??

They certainly ' bought ' the Bulls time to find a saviour , so what period of time is helping, and what time is ' saving ' ?

10 team Super League is the way forward. Cut out all these dead beats.

Give it a rest you could send a glass eye to sleep.

FWIW we only have a four team league in reality, the rest all make the numbers up, so should we cut the other six dead beats as well ?

Any period of time bought is buying time. I'd have thought that wasn't too difficult a concept, even for a blindfolded man wearing blinkers and fingers stuffed in ears going lalalalalala. No period of time is "saving". Either a buyer saves the club or it folds. DUMB question.

Just a question Mr Ardvark.
If the RFL had not stepped in to help when they did, would the club have been liquidated earlier in the season ?
Back on topic, is there anything to suggest that Castlefords "precarious" poisition is in any way similar to that of the Bulls.

I would think it is more similar to Hull KR in that this season they will not spend the full cap and need some extra funding to come in to make it a viable company to run. I could well be wrong but I hope I'm not though.
