Looks like a or bust move to me! Brave or Foolhardy?

Personally wish it wasn't going to court, but if Marc Green wants to spend his own money on it then that's his decision. I can't see how we will win if other two cases thrown out, but I'm not a lawyer and don't have access to any documents/evidence.

Disagree with OP, don't see how we could possibly manipulate it so we don't go down if we finish on less than everyone else. We're down no matter what IMO

I can't see us getting anything back and I'm certain we are down, what will happen is that the TRUTH may finally be heard and I don't think any of Khan, Whitcut, Moore will come out squeaky clean. I will wait to the court case is over before making any judgment on RFL.

This will now take years to resolve, dont forget if the decision is changed the club then in the drop position will almost certainly take legal action

This decision has most likely scuppered the whole reform planned in the next 2 years

Is there anyway that the RFL or the other SL clubs can just turn round & say we've had enough of your crap & kick them out?

even with the 6 points back, Bradford will still be in the relegation zone, and on recent form there isny much likeliness of them getting out of it.

Hopefully for the good of game this action by the Bulls, will be dealt with in a quick manner by the courts, resulting in a defeat for the Bulls.
Any sympathy I had for the Bulls as a club and their supporters as gone down the plug hole.
On a related note, i do hope the RFL tighten their rules so than any club that goes into administration are automatically deducted a set amount of points whether that be 2, 4, 6 or 100

The RFL should simply wait until they are mathematically relegated even with the 6 points added and then reverse the penalty. Would save a lot of legal fees.

Clubs could start by stopping the loan of any players to Bradford.

Totally agree with you on this, also away supporters should boycott the Bulls, hurt them the pocket

Yes!

Section 6 & 7 of the RFL Articles of Association mean they can request a member leave. If they refuse it can then be voted on.

I also though that somewhere in the Operational Rules there is a clause that states a member cannot sue the RFL.



Frankly this is ridiculous from Bradford now, I'm rapidly losing any sympathy I had for their predicament.

I have sympathy with the current board as it isn't them that got Bradford into this mess. However previous boards actions resulted in administation and points were deducted. The current board knew that when they bought the club, if they weren't happy then they shouldn't have invested. As simple as that IMO.

The only winners of this will be the lawyers and their bank balances, it certainly isn't good for the sport and in the long run I don't think it will be good for Bradford.

They're not suing them, they are appealing against a decision, which they have now taken to the next level of court since the first one (the independant sports panel) who told em where to go.

They are not allowed, for example, to sue the rfl for a subsequent loss of income owing to relegation due to the points deduction ... For example. As you say, any court who heard that case will simply say well don't play in that league then, go play with barla ...

Why the supporters why have we done!

there is a rule within the rule book which states that a club which takes legal action against the RFL forfeits its rfl membership and as such its right to play in RFL competitions.

Saying that there will be some leeway in that as to who the case is actually being brought against, who is bringing it etc.

I dont think this case will see that happen, however if we saw a case from Bradford requesting and injunction against the deduction or their relegation, or suing the RFL for loss stemming from this then we may very well do.

What if they win?

If they win surely then what they are doing is right?
