Jeez - we've just been on the Radio 2 national headlines, "Mellor,or to Hudds and Welham to Salford". When was the last time a rugby league story made their headlines?

Getting a mental picture of packs of journalists like in Spitting Image. Oink!

Why on earth would anyone take on the poisoned chalice being offered by the RFL just to prevent the embarassment caused to them by having nobody to play in the ground they lease from the council, and become the whipping boys next season? Do they really expect us to pay good money to watch us being thrashed every week and get relegated? Much better IMO to walk away for a year and a new owner to apply for a new Phoenix club (no, not Brian Potter) to enter Champ 1 in 2018. Sadly I feel that could not be at Odsal which much as I love it is a millstone around our necks. If the RFL say "no" them stuff em, I'll save my money to pay for Premier Sports and watch the NRL instead. Very, very angry and sad. And we thought 2016 was a bad year!

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

I think it means for their new clubs rather than Bradford. If anything it hinders the Bulls more and gives them less chance of keeping players. It also is a little unfair to some of the teams in this division who cant afford any of the Bulls players but have played by the rules while trying to compete only to watch other teams bring in players they would not normally be able to afford.

What news? Probably another false dawn.RL extending 'til Monday aren't they tweeting and others thinking their bids will be accepted by Friday,At least, we can now get back to the business of sorting out some form of future.
The continued thought of losing our brightest young prospects is a dagger through the heart.
