I think it's more a question of a wandering mind. I'm currently researching the enthralling subject of barcode verifiers and a little light entertainment was in order





The moment I read the first article on the Bulls deal I kept picturing John Cleese outfitted as a highwayman astride a large horse and dragging a huge bag marked "swag" to the idle strains of "Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore....."





I'm sure our younger posters won't have a clue what I'm talking about so checkout "Monty Python-Dennis Moore" on that there tube thingamybob and you will be enlightened.

The NRL - 'This is our house' campaign is how you do a RL advert. Brilliant, just brilliant. Almost better than watching an actual game.

I liked it best when, 80% of the way through, you get the first glimpse of Rugby League being played instead of Jon Bon Jovi in his crucifix pose.

So, have I got this?



Bradford Bulls are being hunted by a potential buyer who doesn't have the clubs interests at heart as it is public knowledge that they have a HMRC bill to pay.

Part of BBRLC's assets is the ground lease.

If BBRLC went bust, the ground lease would become meaningless and worthless.

BBRLC could then move to VP with no historical debts.

Predator that owns the Bulls can watch them go to the wall whilst making bids to buy Odsals land from the council.



Luckily...



RFL step in and buy the lease from BBRLC

This means the predator has less reason to buy the club

The Bulls future - not just at Odsal, but anywhere - is more secure as it has one less asset to get stripped



As....



The RFL is unlikely to sell the lease to anyone that damages it's own interests.









Do I understand it now?

Or, in summary, the RFL bails out Bradford Bulls. Yep, I think you've got it.

Despite what Adeybull has tried to dismiss, there is only 2 conclusions



1 bailout



2 Bulls blag cash from RFL

The false dichotomy, a classic Starbug moan against RFL tactic, i bet next we get 'deliberate confusion'

Just simplifying things, as I first stated , when this was reported, if it was protection due to the image rights putting the Bulls in jeapody ? , no issue, if it was the RFL taking advantage to purchase a potential future asset at a bargain price ? , no issue



If it is the bulls in financial problems due to bad management or just living beyond their means, or even them fooling somebody ( RFL ) into giving them some cash because of the above , then no, that isn't on,

it isnt simplifying things at all, it is just your attempt to create an either or situation where none exists in an attempt to pretend there are no other possibilities which go against your pre-existing bias.

Just me and the majority of the RL fan base then, if you read through the various threads on various clubs boards? , either way not my problem , it doesnt affect my club, others possibly do have issues understandably

Aligning yourself with the majority of RLfans when ranting against the RFL wouldnt be a plus point for your argument.

I dont recall any ' rant ' , you're seeing things that aren't there,
