All these posts seem to miss out on the main reason why the Bulls are in the their current position. It's down to the players.

I think you'll find there's a more rational explanation

In a debate about why the CC final isnt in HD. [quote="Gazemous":1jjuuzre]Northerners can't afford HD, what's the point?[/quote:1jjuuzre] [quote="TheBigFella":1jjuuzre]Im a Northerner and Ive got HD. C0ck. We could also probably buy 3 to 4 houses for what you would pay for 1, doesnt that tell you something.[/quote:1jjuuzre] [quote="Big Graeme":1jjuuzre]No one wants to live near you?[/quote:1jjuuzre] ------------------------------------------------------- [quote="Paddock Punter":1jjuuzre]I did enjoy asking Bill Arthur at half time as he was walking past a long string of cables which one I could pull out so I could f**k their weekend up as well.[/quote:1jjuuzre]:15431.jpg



Quote: Ste100Centurions "I wonder how the RFL would react [i'again'[/i if it were London who needed saving ?
I could be wrong but suspect London in their various guises over the decades have been [iSAVED[/i by the RFL on more than one occasion.

God forbid it were les Catalans .....

they would more than likely remortgage Red Hall or Crinckley Bottom as it should be called.'"


You wish to show when London has been saved over the decades by the RFL on multiple occasions?

It's all there in the post, in black & blue *on my phone*

I don't have dates & times, I don't keep a diary of RL Club misfortunes, if you want to look it up & prove me wrong then fill your boots.

Quote: The Devil's Advocate "I didn't realise it was their decision to make?

.'"

Yes it was. They decided that she would not be the right person to be involved as they suspected it was Dr K's way of owning two clubs at the same time. It is similar to the 'unfit person' test in football. Although I think it should just be 'show us your bank a/c. OK you've passed'

Surely it's down to the people involved in signing and "motivating" said players ?? not to mention, only budgeting for promotion.

Leigh seem to have plenty of cash but, the other clubs involved in the middle 8's last season dont appear to have gambled their extra revenue on promotion and Batley are only part time ?

Nope, it's the players! They didn't score enough points to win the game nor defend well as the opposition scored more points.
Are you really saying the office junior, grounds man and kit man etc are really responsible?
Oh perhaps it was the match officials.
It can only be the players, they are the ones playing the game no one else. Is that too difficult a concept for people to grasp?

Doesn't sound great. Hope things get resolved quickly.

Where did I say anything about the kit man, groundsman etc, etcWe have to be careful not to score any points on "bull's bust bingo"
So, words like iconic, RFL, administration etc cannot be used on these threads

We were hoping more people would follow our lead but they didn't. Every other team were just like sheep and continued to follow the blind idea of thinking you need to have a scrum half in the side. Had more teams not selected scrum halves we would have done better. icon_wink.gif
Joking aside though I am not totally convinced that so-called professional players in any sport should require motivating. Planning and tactics yes but they should motivate themselves.

My bad, should have chosen a different "phrase" icon_surprised.gifops:
Players at all levels respond well to good management and coaching and as you go up the professional ladder, it's as much to do with man management as tactics etc.

Surely the relegation to the championship has helped bradford regroup and come back stronger?

No way the cut in funding and crowds would create a financial black hole, no way they would bring in loads of players in a desperate attempt for promotion, thats crazy talk and would be a brand new thing for the game to experience.

No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.:

The salary cap will save them.Mr Green is a font of all knowledge when it comes to the salary cap.

Being able to sign players from the NRL despite owing monies to HMRC will never be allowed by the magnificent governing body.

Both Green and The RFL are ever so transparent to the Bradford supporters/players/staff.Twas ever thus.

Oh come on Smokey, any sane person knows the jeopardy clubs face by being relegated, you've even had a tiny taste of it yourself this season.

Bradford are a full time club who have failed to finish in the top four, of a mostly part time league.

I just think you're getting a little dewy-eyed about missing a trip to Odsal, to reminisce about those halcyon years.
