I'd suggest to cover the RFL s blushes with their earlier ' No condititional offers ' announcement, when in truth it isnt their decision

Of course it's the RFL's decision. What, you want to move on to some predetermination conspiracy / cover-up now? And of course the RFL would consult with and give due weight to especially the views of all the other members of SL. Wouldn't it be rather odd if they didn't?

Now who's obsessed?

No conspiracy or cover up, but a definate change of ' tack ' from the RFL after the SL clubs meeting, believe what you want, this is an internet forum , it is for discussion and expression on opinions, and if you feel the need to ' stalk ' me, feel free

Where does this leaveCaisley and his meddling?

"But administrator Brendan Guilfoyle said in a statement that he had sold Bradford Bulls Holdings Limited to OK Bulls Limited for an undisclosed sum." [size(BBC sport website)[/size

Therefore the company which was granted the SL licence still exists. It merely now has a new holding company. This would allow the RFL to continue to grant SL status to the Bulls (after all, nothing has changed on that front). If that is the case then what do they mean by their comments that in July last year SL clubs were warned of stiffer action were they to face financial irregularity.

So really the licensing process for certain clubs excludes any recent historical financial meltdowns. A club can go bust, effectively just change it's B.O.D and simply carry on with a license.

That just shows how weak the game is. Or specifically the lack of genuine quality of clubs not only vying for a SL spot but actually in SL itself.

The next round of licensing will have zero credibility.

Which round of licensing has had credibility already?

As long as the at risk clubs can remain solvent, all they will do is point the finger at Bradford

A bit like junior school, " yes miss I did pull Jessica's pony tails, but Jimmy put salt in the water " , this will of course only be relevant to posters of a certain age

Well done bull but i hope they do not try to sell Currie at the ground i can not stand indian curries give me a Chinese any day

The cherry on the top will be Bradford making the playoffs and winning the GF - with the aid of their competitors' donations

Up the Bulls!

Nah.In 23 months time all will be forgotten and by then a 'less important' club will have had money troubles and the spotlight will be on them.

That's exactly true. Who cares now that Wakey went bust?

Bring on the next laughing stock . . .

Seems he was referring to a 'mini round of licencing'. Apparently the Bulls will be put up against a few Championship clubs to see who presents the best case for a licence for the remaining two years.

Sounds like a fudge to me.

Jeez, anybody with a modicum of intelligence knew that Bradford would be saved.

All the media articles, Sky debates, good luck messages from other clubs supporters & the nihilistic predictions from Bradford’s “long suffering” supporters – Aghhhh.

Finally the little caveat as to whether they will be S.L next season.



[sizePlease make it stop - of course they will![/size

As if! Why would any championship club be mug enough to fall for that? Another RFL attempt to give credibility to their farce of a licencing system. Just keep the Bulls In super league and you can all get back to play happy families!
