Not sure we've actually used 'em all. That would smack of a plan. Shirt numbers of recent acquisitions are in the low forties atm.
I have stated elsewhere that my highest hope for this season is for someone to run out with the number 50 on his back.

Glad that you can see the funny side.

They've had some tough times in the past few years and despite all the arguments on here, some of that was not necessarily their fault; this latest mess however, appears to be entirely of their own making - whomever has presided over this chaotic period, should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Whether it's Ferres, Green, Hunter-Paul or a combination of all 3, they appear to have made a determined effort to bang the final nail in the coffin of a once great club. It's a real shame.

They should look to form a dual registration with a local super league club, either Leeds or Huddersfield.

We are far gone in an Ibogaine frenzy, suddenly shoved out in a rainstorm to face a sullen crowd with some kind of snarling lunatic going for our legs. |

Club legend and all round good guy, but Sports Marketing and Public Relations degrees from the University of Huddersfield do not a CEO make, at least for clubs as difficult to run as the Bradford. IMHO of course...  |

In another feeble attempt to appear smart and derogatory you totally miss the irony of your own post.
Though clearly not the direct fault of the proposed Toronto club do you really think that SL/RFL can afford to lose what was once it's flagship club and a huge revenue generator yet somehow manage to create a fully functional club in a RL desert 5,000miles away - seriously do you?
Despite my own opinions regarding the arrogant nature and self inflicted injuries of the old Bulls set up saving Bradford or any other heartland club has to be a priority over wasting time and effort on a vanity project that has ZERO and mark my words ZERO chance of success.
This game is a fools paradise and you must be loving it at the moment.

I think that you are wrong about Toronto
With 3000 + season ticket sales already for next season, they are ahead of most current SL clubs, never mind the third tier.
There are all sorts of issues with travel etc in a part time league but, if this does become successful, perhaps the RFL need to borrow some of the marketing skills of their head poncho ?
However, I fully agree that the Bulls should be saved, by whatever means are necessary but, the "risk all" strategy to gain "promotion" is quite ridiculous under the current format.
Even if a Championship club somehow makes it into SL, they will still have to battle the M8's the following season and although this season has seen a shake up of sorts in the top flight, "normal service" will likely resume next season and it will be the usual contenders battling for their SL status.

Huddersfield were once the premier club of this country yet spent decades out of the top league(s) and made their way back. Swinton were once the premier club of this country yet spent decades out of the top league(s) and have remained there. Bradford will do one or the other or may stay a Championship club and rugby league will continue as it always has done. Huddersfield are still a club, Swinton too, these things happen over the decades and it will happen again in the future to another club.

There is no RFL money going into Toronto.
If, as some Bulls fans keep telling us, Odsal is worth £33M...get it sold and move on. That money definitely could be put to good use by the other clubs.
