according to bbc bulls deadline moved but no date as yet its tucked away in bg asking for rfl to pay aug wages

A complete farce The longer it goes on the more money BG gets he is laughing at the RFL.

Despite what anyone thinks about the situation the whole saga does not help Rugby League. We all know that the RFL have created a bumpy playing field with regards rules and standards but with the details from the bulls issue being so transparent then it just looks so bad even to someone who does not understand the sport.

I dont care either way as I only bother about Trin but I am sad to see our sport in the news with such a ridiculous issue and if you liken it to Rangers in football its not a million miles disimiliar but at least the Scottish Football League have dealt with it and the sanction does seem adequate.

The administrator has not sold ONE player WHY this is a complete farce if the RFL pay the Aug wage bill it is a disgrace RL stinks to the core

The RFL have already said that they'll ensure all players get paid to the end of the season.

It must be nice to be in the club.

Absolutely agree. They shud have sold players to cut costs, but seem happy to run with the same squad and let others pick up the tab.

If they make the play offs with all these handouts, they shud be made to forfeit their place.

The non existent deadline is a joke as well. At last count I think it has been extended 5 times.

The RFL are just digging themselves into a massive hole. The longer it goes on the more pathetic they become.

Does anyone know what happened to the money from the big sale of the merchandise they had ?????

Agree. IMO they are also setting a precedent which other clubs in similar difficulties could call on in their hour of need.

They should be selling the only asset they have - the players.

Bateman 200K
whitehouse 200K

That would pay the wages.

RFL are a joke.

I suspect the RFL would do anything to get through the regular season rounds and hope the Bulls don't make the play-offs. The mess caused by letting them go bust would be the worst case scenario.

The villain isn't the RFL anyway, it's the administrator. What have the RFL done exactly? They have rejected an offer they didn't like and advanced some money that was due anyway. It is the administrator is doing nothing to reduce the expenses, who wants the RFL to fund a top eight squad. It is the administrator who has extended the deadline, nothing to do with the RFL.

I'm no fan of the RFL as a body, because they do seem to apply standards differently, but I can't think much they have done wrong since the Bulls went bust.

If the administrator extends the deadline they should fund it not the RFL

Double standards without a doubt. If bradford finish in the top 8, just imagine how the sky team will make the most of it. For me the longer it goes on the less interest i have, it may be a ploy hopeing for that result.
The RFL do and should face the music , or do they already know the outcome.

It's the RFL's fault for agreeing to pay the wages for the remainder of the season, that's why we are seeing a never ending deadline. It's no skin off Guilfoyles beak, he's laughing all the way to the RBS.

Thing that I don't understand is that all the rfl need the bulls to do is fulfil their fixtures, the bulls don't need their current squad to do that. We proved that u can get by with a mediocre squad and still complete the season.

The rfl could have agreed to fund a certain figure per month for the rest of the season and that would have forced the administrators hand to cut some of the squad accordingly. The fact they haven't done so, and have therefore contrived to waste yet more of the games money that they didn't have to, is IMO another error on their part in this fiasco
