Because if they do go into admin, it will be by choice and will be carefully controlled and timed so that Newco is ready to take over the following day; we were forced into administration and looked dead set for the chop, so our players were making new deals before the administrator had even been appointed.

Totally different situation at the Bulls - the only players that become free agents in their period of administration will be ones they want to get rid of; there will be no fire sale.

Bulls may have a significantly reduced budget so there may be the odd forward bargain going as they will need to cut back even with a new company set up. We don't just want their cast offs though who couldn't make their 17 as people have said previously it must be QUALITY not QUANTITY. Tom Burgess for WTW!!!

But with all the goings on they may make him do a fit and proper test like Mr Glover and the RFL took ages to decide on this thus allowing time for clubs to speak to players and agents alike through administrators.

Exactly the administrators have the power and have to act in best interest of creditors.

I am sure RFL have some say over who runs a new club and this could easily be dragged on.

This will be the same RFL that bailed Bradford out by buying their ground, then told everyone what a sahme it would be to lose Bradford, and encouraged people to cough up their donations.

Don't think for one minute that they'll be treated the same as we were.

If Caisley is planning on buying them out of administration, the RFL will bend over backwards to help him. As Bren says, expect this to be a v quick turnaround.

TBH i think this will be a done deal already, stitched up nice and neatly bty Caisley and the RFL and the amount of positive spin around Odsal, put out by all parties, will cause centrifugal forces, such that Sri Lankan children sat playing on the beach's will have an uneasy feeling!!!!!
Done in a day!!!!

Getting the phrase "Centrifugal forces" into a post is outstanding work Kinley....5 points to you!

It's all about spin!!

Five All!!
