It were me I'd be trying to have a word with the players who were not yet fixed up to see if it was viable.

Good idea, maybe arrange a meeting with them all at the ground.....

Just seen in a paper that all players that join clubs from us will not count on their previously agreed salary cap or quota?

Can anybody confirm this is true. If so then obviously this is yet more preferential treatment for the Bulls and I'm sure all fans of these clubs will be suitably outraged at RFL actions

So does that mean we can exceed the salary cap next year too? We all want a level playing field after all.

Or will that be our special bonus punishment for this year?

Has that RFL release just gone up? If so I wonder if that's in response to the rumoured meeting?

I did ask some time ago in this thread whether this bidder had met the RFL. Perhaps they haven't yet.

You can't have a successful bidder without the approval of the RFL.

Today at 14 50 and it would seem a very big coincidence if the things weren't linked

It is hoped that many of the supporters and stakeholders of Bradford Bulls would naturally, in the absence of any other Bradford based RL club, switch their allegiance to the new RL club. What a joke comment from the RL

Sort of simplistic naivety that is part of the reason we keep ending up in these scrapes.
