Yeah, the local taxpayer did well. I was thinking in terms of the RFL's behind closed doors decision to take it on, making us the subject of a morality tale that must play out.

. An even better deal for the RFL when, surprise surprise, we went belly up a short while afterwards and if they hadn't taken the loan they'd have got pennies in the pound from admin.

Looking at what KR have just done to FC we will be beaten by 100 even if we cobble a team together.

FC's team was full of kids with a few first teamers in to give match practice to. I wouldn't read a thing into that result.

Yeah we haven't got any first teamers to play with the kids.

Yeah that doesn't sound right.

I hope something does go ahead for him. I know we have bigger problems to worry about but for him to miss out on a well deserved pay day after having to retire early would be a great shame. Always liked him as a player

I should clarify, I still expect us to get hammered. With our current squad (i.e. everyone who hasn't signed for someone else, signs up for new Bradford), I expect Rochdale will be beating us with relative ease. But don't read anything in to KR beating FC today.

With our depleted and demoralised squad I'm struggling to think of a Champ team that wont beat us.

I agree but I think it was slightly stronger than the team beaten by Cas last week by a similar amount. FC fans and coach seemed delighted by Kelly's debut.

Who'll do what to who is speculation until we have an owner.



As I said I'm not in the know but I get a feeling that there are a few aces up sleeves and plans already in place.



I don't think even the Rfl would embark on such a ridiculous project of starting a team and running it in two weeks.

It's seemed to be inbedded into the culture at the Bulls. When the website had gone down even whilst in admin the club lied and said it was technical issues. They just couldn't help their selves. A bit of honesty goes along way but I doubt any truth has come out of Odsal from the top in years.
