Did anyone listen to this on Monday when interviewed about Cummings getting the job. I thought i heard him say that the previous board failings were do with spending over the salary cap on players. I was driving at the time so could have misheard. If i didn't though this really was a stupid thing to say as Bulls haven't been punished for a salary cap breach. Would the RFL have to act on this even though it's a new company? Is there anyway we can get to listen to this interview again?

Probably a slip of the tongue from someone with no real understanding of how the game is run; I expect he meant spending over their own salary cap?

On a side note - I wish Franny Cummins well at the Bulls; it would be good to see another young British coach doing the business in SL.

This guy is an MP and should be thinking about what he's saying. Just listened to it again and he clearly says that they were not operating within the rules of the game. More than likely he's looked at the old books and knows this and thinks because they are a new company they can't be touched. To me they should still be punished if it's the case even if it happened 3 years ago. The NRL did it to Melbourne and looked back at previous seasons. I have nothing against Bulls i would have had the same opinion if it had been any other club.

yep deffo said it, wonder if rfl heard it. btw what about sympathy card he was playing regarding reduced monies 'we're a newco and need help' blah blah

It was being talked about as if the reduced money was some kind of punishment? They can't have it both ways, they have eaten into next years cash? That's the price you pay for staying in SL and not selling your best players.

The jurno's on backchat have just weed me off also Dave Hadfield going on about it's wrong to give them reduced money for next year because it won't be a level playing field

We will get what we're given with the SKY money, so no bleating there.
Why do we need to sell any players?

Take a bit of advice pal, bother about your own club rather than busy bodying about others.

Are you bored with argueing with Cas fans over the ground so now you're starting on Bradford?

HTH

We'll do what we like when we like.
HTH.

Simple mathematics, you couldn't afford the squad last season (actually you couldn't afford any squad since you stopped making the play offs) and next season you have less funding, so that makes money tighter, you see?
As for the advice, more than happy to bother about my own, but when your club is asking for donations and support i suppose i felt duty bound to pay attention.
I suppose now thats all sorted, the faux-humility act can be dropped, and we can be expected to mind our own business???
Classy!!!
