Good news a rescue package has been agreed. Fingers crossed the new owner does right by the fans and the club. See you at the Lightstream in the opener.

Yeah. THAT'S something to look forward to as a Bulls fan.....

Of course, we're going to need some players and a coach first.

Think he was just trying to be nice! But yes. The prospect of an 80-0 paggering does not fill me with joy.

Can't imagine why even the RFL would want to go on playing silly buggers for even longer? What is there to gain? Other than more players leaving and an even weaker team for the season.

Think you've pretty much explained there reason right there. Keeps fixture list intact this year but we're so weak we make way for Toronto next yr.

Squad building will be a season long task and perhaps Graham Lowe will take the reigns?

If he is seeing the players then for heavens sake sign Moss and Chisholme up tonight and we might just have a chance of finishing third from bottom. I do actually believe this as they will win a few games by being there whereas without them we will struggle badly and lack ideas and strike power.

The administrator and RFL will have been looking out for different people.
One for the creditors and the other for the club / sport.
It must be the offer accepted by RFL. If not, that wouldn't make sense.
