| What are the match odds for this game?
Surely being second favourites in a game against a team on the verge of extinction and who sacked their entire coaching and backroom staff has got to be a new low for our joke of a club.
We should get Hughes to give his money to Bradford and turn the Broncos into glue.

| Sure there's a joke in their about Bradford players getting paid for an extra fortnight and ours stealing a wage all year.

7741_1339451243.jpg When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

| Well the Bradford team aren't allowed to train. We have no coaching staff and bugger all idea as to what is going on at our once proud club.
TBH, if there's any London fans who are in two minds about making the trip this weekend, I'd suggest you do it because there's a good chance you'll be going home with the points.
As for Mick Potter going to London. I think he'd work wonders for you guys. He didn't have the best of first seasons at Bradford, but to be fair to him, his recruitment was hamstrung by a fat aussie mercenary called Matt Orford. This season is a far better reflection of his abilities. Even with everything that's happened off the field and the huge amount of injuries to key players Bradford have had this season, we're fighting for a top 6 place. Admittedly, that's probably all for naught once the penalties for going into administration kick in. But I'd have felt much better about things if Mick Potter was staying on for a 3rd year as Bradford coach as I feel we'd be a much stronger side next year.

Who says they can't train, unless Bradford pay their player insurance month to month, and players should have their own personal insurance covering them for out of work-time injuries that affect their ability to earn a wage.
Why can't they go down to a local park and make do, attempt to pull together while they are still earning, and then all go their separate ways when the RFL stop bankrolling the wage bill, or the club goes to the wall.

| The French coach isn't full time so Potter could do the Broncos job as well.
Sign him up now as he's out of work!
It would be ironic if Potter went to Odsal as London coach to face the Bulls.
Feel sorry for the Bradford fans this sounds just so awful.
Also I think you guys deserve a break and Potter could turn your team's fortunes around.
That squad of yours would be top eight easily with Potter in charge.

good idea but ....
although the french post isn't 'full time' the new man will be expected to be very much hands-on and proactive in RL at all levels in France from kids to international level with a re structuring plan to implement so I would imagine most of his time would be spent in France

If Bradford are in administration it is likely that all of their insurances have been cancelled and the administrators will then look to provide some form of insurance for tangible assets.
Playser cannot get personal cover for professional sports cover cost effectively and any individual Personal Accident insurance they may have will exclude professional sport.
Therefore, it is possible that the players are uninsured and as Rugby is a contact sport and they could suffer serious injury easily in training they will have been advised not to do anything until the question of insurance is resolved. IIRC, the RFL has paid the PA cover for the players last week...
Poor sods

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Apparently they only played last weekend because the Players' Association coughed up for their insurance.
