If above are confirmed 99% on here will be over the moon and I will be certainly one of them. Johnson and Elima would be great additions in a vastly changing squad but I think the greatest improvement is the setup and mentality Gentle and AP are trying to imply.

Surely with the signings already made and ones being touted we will be a vastly improved outfit next year but also in the future.

Big Brother, how confident are you that the above still fold firm after Bradford Buy Out?

I still can't see anyone buying Bradford if its best players were already on their way.

I noticed its not confirmed they will be in SL next year, this is from a news article today:

"Solly confirmed that Bradford would enter a mini round of licensing, most likely featuring leading Championship clubs Featherstone, Leigh and Halifax, to determine whether they would be allowed to see out the remaining two years on their current licence.
Solly said it was hoped a decision would be made in "two weeks tops, earlier if possible".

The Bulls, once they entered administration should have booted straight in to NL2 by default, regardless of whether they found a buyer.

if we were to get Elima, Whitehead, and Bateman, Tickle must be going, how can we have that many backrowers? Or Tickle into front row?
I think having Bateman, Whitehead, Elima, Kent, Pitts, Westerman, Ellis, Tickle and Aspinwall(staying?) is too many first team backrowers
FWIW I don't think we'd sign those three anyways, maybe one of them.

Completely agree. The whole thing stinks

Tickle dosnt want to play front row

Ah... My bad ;-s

Pitts was brought in to at in the front row, although I can't see him playing there unless he does some massive bulking up. Aspinwall can also play in the front row, and plays well there. Same for Elima playing prop is not a problem for him.

Under which rule?

Ridiculous comment. Points deduction is set in stone, not just in SL but other sports i.e football as well.

Bulls entered administration through mis-management by the previous owners and they have had their punishment in the form of 6 points deducted.

What I don't agree with is the support that they have been given by the RFL / Sky to stay afloat until a new buyer was eventually found. They should have been forced into selling some of their assets (players) instead of being provided with handouts, this unfair advantage means that Wakey / HKR may miss out on a play off spot, which Bradford should not be in a position to be challanging for (unless they could have done it after selling several star players)

Any club entering administration should have their license revoked.
