Call me a cynic but I’d imagine that we now be settled in Bradfords favor now. The irony of a Wood run Bradford taking Fax to court for an illegal signing would not have been lost on me though.

I thought that too. But the tribunal is meant to be independent....
I would assume the club would still let them go, for a small fee. Too disruptive otherwise if they are fully intent on leaving. The role of the agent is important too.

Where has it come from that Halifax are signing a Bulls player??
It’s news to me.
I’ve been asked if it’s true Elliot is going to Halifax. 100% not true

GFB has been fairly consistent that Fax have a contract offer on the table for Keyes for about 2 months. He just went cryptic when people pointed out he was under contract.

Not getting into childish banter. Followed the Bulls/Northern for 49 years. Played at junior and second team for the club early 70's so certainly not fair weather supporter. The problem is the club is not the club it was. It is playing out of the city and it it will not have the funding to challenge the teams in the division it is in. That is my thoughts on what is a very sad situation so to say i am a glory supporter is wide of the mark.
If by some chance you have also played for the club lets meet up at the next re union have a beer and chat about old times. Do let me know and i will PM you.

I'm a bit more optimistic. I look at it as the first team are playing out of the city. The academy, reserves & scholars will still be playing in Bradford - probably Dudley Hill again but I think we'll be told eventually. Training still at Tong. Foundation still at Odsal. They just need to work out where to put the shop/ticket office. That needs to stay in Bradford as well.
Regarding the first team, I think we'll have a similar model to Leigh & Fev last year, relatively thin squad to start, if more funds become available then it will be added to.

So the WOOD conspiracy theorists were correct then.As for Keyes to Halifax,I would have thought a SL club would be in for him as good halves are scarce even in SL/NRL,so for me I would be shocked if he ended up there,he's better than that imo.If Keyes is one who's the other?
It's a bloody long way back for the club from here but where there's life there's hope.

Who are the two players in question - we're not following that sub-set of information. if one is Joe keys then one nestegger was informed that his agent is Graham Taylor.

My take on the takeover is pretty much meh

New owners that lack financial clout. Yep seen that before

Team decimated and having to rebuild. Been there as well

No administration and bills getting paid. Ooh that’s new

But my biggest concern is that I don’t really care. The years of turmoil have left me emotionally jaded and now it appears I have reached the point where I’m past caring
