Wait, let me check the current wage bill and the Whatever Salary Cap.

Hmm.

It seems that our current wage bill as at June 2014 in SL will not form part of our 2015 season salary cap expenditure. I don't know why, and I'm probably as shocked as you will be at this revelation. But it seems to be true. Apparently, they will only count next year whatever we spend next year.

Who needs to stalk you when your supercilious comments are everywhere?

Do you lot agree with Mr Green's decision to take it to court or do you feel the club should accept it?

We shouldn't be taking it to the high court IMO, we should be concentrating on building a squad and appointing a coach to compete at the top end of the championship to give us the best chance of getting back up.

I think it's good to have someone prepared to fight in charge for once. Usually we just lie back and let anyone do what they like to us.

We were stitched up by the powers that be, they should not be allowed to get away with it.

Get it to the high court and get everything out in the open, then the RFL will take the abuse and fans will understand what the time lines and advice really were. IMO.

Re: Marc Green statement : Fri Jun 20, 2014 7:11 am  

I don't know, but I'd guess it's a bluff. The costs would be enormous. As soon as the RFL demonstrated they would mount a robust defence, my guess is that the case would be dropped. Even going that far would eliminate any remaining goodwill the Bulls still have. The sooner Bulls accept it and start to get their house in order for the near future, the better it will be for them.

I'm thinking of going to the moon again. Have you been to the moon, no but I've thought of it before.

IF and its a big IF...

Marc Green is successful in his case, some dirt is aired on RFL and we are given sufficient points that may keep in SL... would you still say he should have accepted it or would it have been the right call?

Sometimes a court hearing is the only way to get at the truth. See Kopczak/Hudds.

Although whether anything could come of it...

Even if it worked, and we got enough points back to stay in SL, I don't think Wakey would go down without a legal fight either. So effectively we would force a 13team SL next year, with headaches for everyone in SL.

If there was enough evidence provided that unequivocally proved the RFL were at fault, we may deflect enough of the blame from ourselves. But I think we would be pariahs for years afterwards.
