| Quote bren2k="bren2k" I am very fussed indeed though with the way they've been mollycoddled by the governing body and allowed to keep teams out of the play-offs using players they shouldn't have available; quote
THIS
we are part funding our nearest rivals for a play-off place, presumably at 1/13 of their problem - it won't affect the top 7 teams or the bottom 4 - but it surely will affect ourselves and Hull KR. Maybe the sanction should be a points penalty AND exclusion from the play-offs, irrespective of the final finishing position.
Rather than praise them for 'struggling through despite the problems' this option should have ensured none of the clubs were prejudiced by supporting the bail-out. Clearly 2 are

| Just a thought but could this decision be setting a precident for some other SL Clubs.
I don't know if the HMRC/Image Rights issue was ever settled but there may be other SL Clubs in a precarious financial position and this would allow them to go into Administration and immediately come out through a pre-pack deal and retain SL status with HMRC and other creditors losing out.
If the Bulls had been "relegated" it would mean that any other Club going into Administration would be out of SL which would not have been acceptable to the majority if not all SL Clubs.
I know there is talk of reducing the size of SL but we know that means certain teams being secure and others not being so secure.

I think this is a very real possibility, although how this will be received by HMRC and how our game would be viewed by the wider sporting world is a real worry.
The reputation of our sport would be in tatters if this situation occurred and such a blaze wholesale Phoenix from the flames resurrection of some of our largest clubs and a large proportion of SL re-emerged debt free at the tax payers expense.

| I still don't get why we had to sell players for admin costs, but bulls are being fully funded

| Quote kinleycat="kinleycat"It was mooted by Lewis at the last round of licences announcement on sky that the number in SL may have to be looked into.'"
But Blake Solly recently said that there are no plans to reduce the number of teams in SL.
It's a stupid idea being put forward by blinkered people with no eye on the longer game; they mistakenly believe that if the number of teams were reduced, Sky might not notice and would continue to fund the sport at the same level, thereby leaving a larger slice of the pie for themselves. And Jamie Peacock, who might be able to squeeze another season out of his tired old bones if there were fewer games per season.

Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"Super league clubs have voted for The All New Bulls to stay in SL next season

It seems that some clubs are indeed buullet proof, would the same rules apply for the "less fashionable" clubs ?
One can only speculate !'"
As much as there has clearly been special treatment dished out here, Bulls at Trinity is a guaranteed big house. From a purely selfish and cash point of view, it's good business for us; hence the vote. Cartels....we're all in it together!

| And with apparently a good few clubs hovering on the brink of a bradford-esque situation why would those clubs want to set a precident by voting out a failing club? It could be them next.

| What I don't get is all this iconic big club nonsense, they had a successful team for a few years but are not what I'd call a big club. The problem with Bradford is Bradford without sounding racist alot of people have moved out of Bradford and have been replaced by non RL public hence Bradford not being a RL playing hotbed & the bulls having to throw their money at youngsters from Wakey cas fev batley etc. I'm not saying that if bought out of admin they should be relegated, we weren't and they shouldn't. But if it's a newco they should go down, it wouldn't make much difference to us if they were replaced by fax or fev and at least they produce more players

The last 3-4 seasons Bradford support at Belle Vue hasnt been up to much in my opinion
