I'm not sure how this RFL solution is showing us favouritism! No club, no players, no coach, no ground, no kit no pot to pi55 in. And probably two weeks to scamble something together that will most likely get stuffed every week before being relegated, if we're lucky.

Some favouritism.

Yes we really are th RFLs darlings. Lucky us.

Have to say, a -12 pt start and having to play HKR three times, is a recipe for relegation. Particularly as we now don't even have a team.

Not sure I'm up for a season of watching this kind of slow death, tbh. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not, so the RFL had better re-think on this.

If we're going to end up in champ 1, then best it happened this time round, assuming there will be a 'this time'. Though this simply can't happen at Odsal, imo - there is no chance whatever that a [presumably] part-time, third tier club could ever pay the rent paid by the old club.

If that's intentionally ironic with a post referencing drivel, then it's genius. But I suspect not.

Think we'll be waiting a while to be fair. Please do hold your breath.

That the RFL advised his club to go into administration and start again in the same league with a clean slate.

And that we're the RFL's favourites.

Just heard interview on the radio with Andrew Chalmers who has said he's still keen in owning the Bradford Bulls. So no lack of interest.
