Should be Barrow not Toronto and surely this would have to be ratified by the other Championship clubs anyway. The RFL have a dilemma now especially if the Administration drags on. Surely to be fair to other clubs a decision will have to be made before the end of the year as the season starts again 6 weeks after Xmas

What a fall from grace for the Bulls. They really embraced SL in its early days. Sad to see.

12 points deduction keep them out of the play offs

may be better for them to be relegated down to Div 1 and start on level points. Think the real issue is where they will play, i think they are committed to play at Odsal in 2017, and that is bankrupting them

Why should it be them they have done nothing so far to prove themselves. They may be brilliant and march through the league but until they do something they should not get automatic promotion.

As for Bradford I know you probably weren't around when Broncos had problems but I dont forget they were a club which voted us out of the league and were very vocal in their thoughts. I feel sorry for the club and the fans particularly and I would not wish this on any team but it does make you wonder how they can still comment on the RFL saving us when in fact they did nothing whatsoever and the RFL actually bought a ground for Bradford to play at. They have had more help than any other team that I can recall. If they have to go down and rebuild so be it, their fans showed their loyalty previously and will do so again. Bradford fans have pride. We have had to start again and I believe it has done us good maybe Bradford will see that to.

Bulls booted out of RL by RFL

Sure I remember Bradford being against us when we had our problems. I remember fans from all clubs being asked for money to keep the club afloat.
I also remember when we played Bradford at The Stoop just after Bradford had been found guilty of cheating the salary cap. My seat was in front of the hospitality box the away teams used. Some of us chatted to people in there from the club, they were a bit glib, saying it was all a big mistake. No intention to cheat, just an error. None of us who were there thought too much of them for that.
It is their fans I feel for. They have been let down badly by their owners. They turn out in great numbers, create a great atmosphere. We sat amongst them at Blackpool and they were great people.
It could well be for the best if they start again and build from the bottom. I do think that they must get away from Odsal though.

What comes around, goes around (three times in their case)

It appears Bradford Bulls are hanging by a thread. A decision has to be made soon and from what is said, the outlook for the once mighty club looks grim.

It's done they are liquidated www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/38418199

So do we approach foster/his agent Keyes?

no they didnt want to be with us that's why they left, so if they didn't want us why should we want them now

Foster wanted to be up North to be near his girlfriend, Joe Keyes, Ilies Macani and John Magrin, did not fit into Hendos plans. So no chance of seeing them back.

So the Bulls are no more. But it does mean a new club and company can be formed with no outstanding debts as its a new company. How do folk feel about the fact the RFL have said they can compete in championship in this case?
For me it's a new club, let's call em odsal old boys should they not have to go through the same process that tolouse and Toronto are going through and start from the bottom of the professional ladder?
I get the issue with the current players and livelihood but Bulls are no more it's like any other company going bust.

The RFL have put themselves in an awkward position being that they hold the lease on Odsal. I think they need get a Bradford Phoenix club playing there for financial reasons.
It is a real mess.

4 players have left in 24 hours, more will follow you would expect

They are dead in the water and should be booted out and made to reapply in 2018. -12 points with no players ??? why cater for them. They go bust annually.
