Can Rugby league look any more corrupt. : Thu Aug 02, 2012 4:43 pm  

Once again I think the RFL are making the game I love into a laughing stock, if this deal to buy the Bulls goes through I for one will be disgusted and very disappointed.

Morally bankrupt when players havent been settled from Crusaders.

Genuinely makes me feel ill. Total stupidity.

Have had my outburst on twitter and casforum, cant be bothered again.

How can this be!!!! I am s o dismayed at all this. How a club financed by the governing be in a competition??? Bad day for RL. Obviously Rangers are not iconic in football but what about our other great clubs in RL that have gone by the wayside??? What about the rest of our iconic clubs that are left ????? The governing body have helped make clubs bankrupt by their rules (stadiums etc) and now are bailing out one of them????
I like many other posters are struggling to put words on this!!!! Nothing makes sence anymore!!!!!
A Challenge - Please someone put a reasonable explanation together that explains the past, the present and the future.

Take note Halifax and Fev fans - you've no chance of SL.
This is the defining moment where the so-called upper echelon of the game in this country officially becomes what we all knew anyway - a closed shop!

Regarding Cas Tigers - we should now abandon out plans to move out of Wheldon Road - after all its an iconic stadium much loved by away supporters as well as the Cas faithful. We are losing players and supporters alike (lets be honest here) if the game cannot afford to lose 10K Bulls fans can the RFL also afford to lose Castleford Tigers ? or are we (and Wakey for that matter) just "expendable" ???

The governing body is a joke....would they do the same for us?....would they hell.

From now on my money will go to the Tigers only...won't visit Odsal again, or any final or international games run by that joke outfit.

They would have let us go and while we don't always get on i'm sure you understand they would have binned you too.

Expendable without a doubt.

just read what other fans are saying on our foram and i agree with every word yove all said.if cas give money to save the bulls we cas kiss goodbye to our new stadium.but what does that matter has long as bradford stay in there ground and stay in super league.as some 1 said its now a closed door.only certain clubs allowed in .i fear before long both cas and wakey will be shown the door.i for 1 will NOT be going to any games at bradford as much as im a loyal cas fan I WILL NOT BE PUTTING MY MONEY THROUGH A TUNSTILL AT BRADFORD.

I'm not happy and I've got more questions than answers so I'm awaiting the second statement where, hopefully, Super League Europe will be more transparent with their intentions, what the bid involves, who's footing the bill and also what happens beyond the end of the season if no buyer is found. Or hopefully, a journalist in the trade press will step up to the plate and do some good investigative journalism.

It's extremely unfair on clubs below that have gone to the wall, for example, Blackpool, who weren't provided the same opportunity. I do wonder what financial help other clubs who are actually living within their means will also get.

Bradford haven't even lost a player since going into administration! During the period of supposed finiancial hardship we've cut out wage bill more than they have. Utter disgrace, the game is as bent as a nine bob note and will always be a C grade sport with idiots controlling our great game. Poor old wakey were selling/borrowing players, left, right and centre whilst this crowd up at odsal ....
