Also on an even more depressing note Colton Roche rumoured to be gone next year..

That's on the League Express website. It's essentially that he's out of contract at the end of the season and there are some Super League clubs sniffing around him for when it runs out.

What if we are a Super league club? Lol

Roche's agent is Craig Harrison (Show Me the Money on twitter).

Incidentally he was at the BullBuilder Ball on Friday night raising money for BullBuilder.

Fair enough. I do think that that attitude is just saying 'I'll take my bat home because nobody was prepared to give the club millions of pounds" though, but you are entitled to it.

What an outrageous invention. You should be ashamed. Go put words in your own mouth. I've watched the vast majority of Bradford games and put tens of thousands into the club over five decades so don't start chirping at me about "taking my bat home" you insulting little twerp.

Let me ask you this:

Do you claim that in order to sign enough experienced reasonable standard Championship-level forwards at some point since taking over would have cost our new owners "millions of pounds"?

We are not in this hole due to lack of millions of pounds being pumped in. The absence of ANY MONEY AT ALL to solve the pack problem is the issue.

You may think every other Championship team has a front row worth millions of pounds. If that is your opinion, you are of course entitled to it, however ludicrous.

I think unless there is a conspiracy about to raise its head it's c1 for us next year..

You are right Championship clubs don`t have front rows worth millions of pounds but they do have them signed to contracts. Where are these players to solve the pack problem? Should we approach them and ask them to break contracts?

Not a problem if you have money to spend like Toronto. Clearly we are skint and our owners lack the capability to take the club forward.

Anyway when the season started Ryan Bailey was without a club. Ben Harrison is still without a club.

Would a few player swap deals not be possible if transfers are out of the question?

Is the only option just to accept inevitable relegation and probable extinction?

Re: Chalmers and Lowe the conspiracy : Mon May 08, 2017 3:54 pm  

I get what you are saying re Toronto, but would Bailey have been the sort of player we should sign just because he`s available. I guess he came out of retirement for the money and to Bully the C1 teams (easy money). Like most fans I am disillusioned with the lack of communication coming out of the club, but I feel there must be a motive we don’t know about in bringing Geoff Toovey here and him sticking around. There are other out of work coaches who could fill the bill for a skint club (Dewsbury just found one pretty quick) better than bringing someone with his pedigree half way round the world. I`m hoping that there is something going to happen which cant be divulged. Surely the RL don`t want to risk losing a big part of 4000 fans by the Bulls ending up part time in the C1.

There won't be 4000 fans by the end of the season if we continue as we are.

If, and it's a huge if, there is a get out of relegation clause at the end of the season and the owners know about it they might well be playing their cards right in not throwing money at anyone. It certainly appears like it as the prospect of relegation doesn't seem to be on their radar once you decipher the press releases or listen to Mick's interviews.

Fact is that the poor performances will impact on crowds and income whether we're safe or not. And that puts the club in danger. The owners have to make more of an effort whether they like it or not.
