Quote trinfan71="trinfan71"Having just read the Riley YEP interview I get the impression Agar may not have much time left to get Plan A in gear nevermind Plan B.

Riley said: "Richard Agar is a great coach and he needs to be given time to make the squad click together. Hopefully he will do that." That's fair comment, players coming in all the time means the squad hasn't gelled as it should have. Too much is being read in to losing twice to Leeds, the defeat at Hull KR was far worse because that was a winnable game, not one to get battered in.

I expect -6 to become -4 putting the bulls on 0 points. Can't see any other outcome.

I suggest Agar's Plan A is hope London and Bradford just keep losing!

That leaves us with plan B, could be hoping for another "big bang" or a alien invasion.

Id try the "win some games" plan.

As a bradford fan its hard to fault the logic of that plan A at the moment tbf!

On the points appeal, most Bulls fans (me included) are not expecting anything back, but would be pleasantly surprised to get 2 back so at least we get back onto zero. But whatever they do, they need to do it quick so we can continue the rest of the season trying to sort the relegation battle out on the pitch.

Always was a possibility they would get some points back so what we should not be reliant on them not getting them back we should be going out to win the rest will take care of its self.

This comment is directed more at the RFL than the Bradford Bulls.

I remember the RFL saying last year that they will be less tolerant of financial mismanagement and would be harsher on clubs who went into administration.

Also if rumours are true that we were told we would be immediately demoted if we went into administration then it would appear the Bulls have received favourable treatment as it is.

The little spat and threat of legal action between the Bulls and the RFL about a month ago was also interesting. The RFL said in their statement that 2 clubs other than Bradford were in dire straits (I strongly suspect it was ourselves and London they were referring to) yet they managed to sort themselves out financially.

As I say nothing against the Bulls. However if they are given back some points then the RFL is spineless and inconsistent.

Neither do I. I didn't post that, my idiot Leeds fan mate thought it would be a laugh to use my phone to post it.

I thought it showed that everyone is aware of what needs fixing and that there is a confidence that things will begin to fall into place.

It said on sky sports news that Bradford hoped to win their appeal on the grounds that going into adminstration was 'unforseen' and 'unavoidable", if thats their case for appealing they have had it!!!

The appeal is an independent panel (though who picks this panel I'm unsure of) and is suppose to include a barrister, insolvency practitioner and 1 other. So not the RFL's decision to make.
