halifax and leigh have a much better chance than fev , imo.
Although the RFL could use the demise of the bulls(if they cant be rescued) to reduce the number of teams in superleague and therefore strengthen the player pool.

The RFL will save Bradford.

I agree. It's not in the RFL's interests to own the lease for a stadium and have nobody playing there. There isn't a chance in hell the RFL will let them go under, despite the fact that the degree of financial mismanagement shown would suggest that's maybe what should be allowed to happen.

You bet your life ! The bulls will still be in SL next year.

They will if someone comes in for them, if not SL going down to 12 clubs has moved one club closer!!
Either way it won't result in Halifax coming into SL this year!!
For the record I think the Bulls will come out of this a leaner operation and still in SL.

Wakey made administration look easy - I can't see why it won't work out for a much bigger club like Bradford.

I don't recall it feeling particularly easy at the time, but if little old wakey can do it, surely the mighty bulls can!!!
Seriously though it's not nice and there are real difficulties ahead for the bulls if they make it through admin, they are in far deeper trouble than we were!!
