Has anyone considered that Sky might want to renegotiate the TV deal if Bradford were to drop to the Championship without being replaced as they would be getting less for their money.

This would mean even more clubs in the same position as Bradford because most SL clubs are struggling financially now so less money can only mean more clubs in administration.

I might be a pessimist but this all seems to another step in the slow long lingering death of SL, at least as we know it now. icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

SKY can still screen 2 games a week so they lose nothing.

For more than a decade Super League had 12 teams so I'm sure it could survive with 13.

Biggest issue would be the need for a bye every week particularly awkward for the magic weekend.

Quote: LifeLongHKRFan "This announcement is shocking!!

Super League would carry on without the Bradford Bulls if they were unable to find a buyer. The only issue you would have is what you would do with the Bulls franchise. By taking the actions the RFL have, they have declared that Bradford Bulls are bigger than the sport of Rugby League.

Purchasing the Bulls makes our much loved game a laughing stock. Where was the help for all the other RL clubs in financial strife over the last 20 years? By taking these actions they will have to provide the same financial support to any other club who find themselves in financial trouble.

I applauded the RFL's stance when yesterday it was announced that they had rejected the latest bid from the ABC consortium. They stood firm and would not cave in to the conditions put in the bid. Today they have now proven that the RFL as an organisation has no backbone and will buckle under any pressure.

And before anyone says it's SL buying the Bulls and not the RFL, they are one in the same and run by the same people.

Rant over (and breathe)'"


I posted the below on the bradford board and they all put me on ignore and called me a troll!!!

Heads in sand!!!!!


I will keep this simple!

The RFL are a joke!

For the sake of rugby league in England, SLE must not be allowed to own the Bulls.

If SLE are going to pay the wages of the bulls players then the same amount of money should be given to every single SL club.

The RFL have dug themselves a hole and the rest of the SL clubs have to dig them out!!!

This is a joke, the RFL board need sacking and replacing with monkeys, I am sure monkeys could do the job as good as the current mod!!!!!!





I understand perfectly well what SLE are doing, and that all the clubs (supposedly) voted for the SLE take over.

What you and your blinkered colleagues can’t see is that this is dangerous for the game and for Bradford Bulls, who is going to come forward and buy Bradford now?

A buyer would have to........

A, Buy the ground back at 1.5m or lease it of the RFL (forever!).

B, Pay back the wages paid out by the RFL/SLE.

C, Pay back or not receive any SKY money next season as you have already had it!!!!

D, Re-Build a team from scratch, as the RFL will not pay massive wages next season.

If Bradford are not sold on by the RFL within a couple of months then I fear the worst for rugby league in this country, you tell me how all the other clubs can support a money pit of a club!!!

Throwing good money after bad has become a dangerous habit of the RFL in recent years, this take over makes no financial sense what so ever, and stinks of RFL incompetence again!

If the RFL did not own the Bulls ground then this would have been laughed out of red hall, the RFL are trying recover as much money as they can and save face, the first mistake was to buy the ground and attempt to cover up the poor state of affairs at the Bulls.

The Bulls have been a great team, but it is not up to the rest of SL to save you!

I support Hull KR not SLE or Bradford, I see no value in what the SL is doing!

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg



So, you're not in favour then?
