T&A has us linked with former Hull FC prop Levy Nzoungou. Yes I had to double check how to spell that :lol:

The article also has a quote from Sawyer basically saying that JK has free reign to spend our player budget on whoever he wants. I can't decide if that's a vote of confidence or if it's Sawyer getting ready to pass the buck for when/if this season turns into a disaster...

Or that the budget is non-existent so the point is moot.

How could Kear not know about pre arranged friendlies, and if that’s the case then all should be null and void he isn’t at the helm anymore, so now we have same amount of friendless as last year with around 12 players less, you can’t write this crap, one word unBULLievable

Didn't Sawyer say at the very beginning he wouldn't be involved in recruitment to avoid any suggestion of 'conflict of interest'.

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

Re: Players Joining and Staying Thread... : Thu Dec 05, 2019 11:34 am  
With our current lack of players being signed and the large amount who have left, I can only see that the probable plan for the Bulls is to tread water by avoiding relegation for the foreseeable future until we (maybe) reach the fantasy of getting back into sunny Bradford.

When you look at the quality of the players the teams at the top of the division last year are signing at the moment, and then the huge amount of talent we have lost and not replaced I can't see us being anywhere near the top half of the table next season. And that's with 'our' second-string HB back on loan from Hull KR too.

For the Bulls to have sold such an uncooked product, playing away from home, and after selling our young stars to 1000 season ticket holders is phenomenal work. But how far we have fallen to think that selling 1000 season tickets is a target.

You mean act with financial sense and learn to walk before trying to run? If some of the previous incumbents had taken that approach you may well have managed to get out of the mess begun 7 or so years ago.

The one constant factor throughout all the shyster owners we have had is that they all stated that the club would live within its means. It is only when the business fails (because they haven't done this) that us poor fans find out about it and it all unravels.

While what you say isn't untrue, it isn't in the realms of what the fans can influence. We can only listen to the statements/lies and hope that everything is okay. Although I'm sure every one of us would say "Pay the pension contributions".

Despite my current feelings about the Bulls, I take a lot less notice of your pessimistic postings since the Wakefield chairman took you to task from your 'in the know' comments by utterly disproving them and making you look quite silly.

Perhaps listening more, trying to understand and not spouting off smug observations would be prudent?
