Quote: tb "He's half right - the only way Bradford will be playing SL next year is if a new owner (not SLE) is prepared to do address the old debts, as the RFL has made clear.'"


There will be a Bradford fan that will win the Euro millions between now and the end of August. If not, [isomeone[/i will come in at the eleventh hour and do the deed. Bradford in the Championship is unthinkable, surely?

London get advice from the RFL..........Bradford get cold hard cash......there is a subtle difference as well you know.'"

Quote: Mr Carl "This only becomes an issue if the Bulls are still owned by Super League Europe for any considerable time after season's end. Hopefully, they will have found an independent party to purchase them by that point, presumably with the understanding that they will be playing Championship rugby.'"

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



Why would they be relegated? They have been punished by the RFL with a 6 point deduction, why would they punish them a second time? There is nothing in the RFL rules that says administration = loss of license is there? Presuming a buyer is found that can show investment to maintain their SL license then I would expect them to be in SL next season.

A buyer probably has about 1 week to show up and get it sorted.
The players have been told they can walk if they can find another club.
Those same players have to look after themselves so unless they intend on letting them play in SL with the reserves they had better get on with it PDQ.

Also we need to remember 2 more things.
Firstly any buyers cannot have conditions in their offer which includes asking for proof of a certain SL licence.
Secondly the RFL have 1 of 14/15 votes so they won't be the ones who will have the final say the other SL clubs will.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

So how late do the RFL leave it before trying to find a replacement ?

Given that any new entrant will then have to put together a SL squad from sctratch and will only have essentially 1 season to prove their worth , before having to apply to remain in SL

Times up for the Bulls, they created this mess, time to clean it up, I'm not passing judgement, but that is the way it is

IIRC the final decision rests with the RFL regardless of what the other member clubs say,

Quote: Neil HFC "IIRC the final decision rests with the RFL regardless of what the other member clubs say,'"
If it was just about voting on Bradford staying in SL as it would have been previously then yes you would be correct.
BUT if SLE own them then the situation changes as then ALL the other clubs as well as the RFL own them and so then the RFL have only 1/14 of the control.

Nov/dec. if they go down 13 team SL until next round of licenses. If they get a board together before then they will just carry on.

If there's a buyer out there prepared to pay off the debts (or a sizeable chunk of them), why haven't they come forward yet?

Having refused to give ABC any assurances about the SL license I dont see how they could allow any other buyer to stay in SL unless their bid is demonstrably better than ABC's.

Quote: Starbug "Cannot happen , the decision has already been made , they will be visiting the LSV next year'"

If, as seems likely, Bradford are relegated, do you think another team will replace them or will there be a 13-team SL?
And if it's a 13 team SL what they will do with regards the Magic Weekend?

I'm sorry JB but that is rubbish.
You expect Bradford players to hang around until 1 month before the season starts without them knowing if they have a club and if they do what league they are going to be playing in?
All the Bradford players have been given permission to try and get deals elsewhere if they can.
If you think Bradford will be in any condition to fulfil a SL season if they only find out in December that they are good to go then you are living in cloud cuckoo land.

Leave it at the start of the season and throw the world club challenge in there.

Featherstone Rovers - Co-Operative Championship League Leaders and Champions 2011:



Didn't Blake Solly say that there will definitely be 14 teams next year?

Time is certainly ticking, if the Bulls are to survive, something needs to happen by the end of August, so that they can hang on to as many players as they can.

Conversely, Fev/Fax/Leigh need to know by then if they are to be elevated as replacements, so that they can start signing up players.

Given that these clubs are already re-signing semi pro players for next year, this situation could get a whole lot more messy
