Robbie Paul announced tonight that all the 1 st team squad are free to find another club

Big Problems is what I hear! Nicked from the Bulls Meassageboard

The club has some significant holes in the budget. The budgets set for 2014 are not realistic. Departments within club were given unrealistic expenditure which did not match the info given to RFL. 2014 is about survival... that is objective number 1. Last owners borrowed significantly against the club and many of these have only come to light.
The owners are treating the club as a business and will not spend any more than what is coming in via income. Staff will be/have been cut from every department including the football department. All players have been told that if they don't wish to stay at the club they are free to leave.

Wakefield, Cas and London are all not in a much better position if at all. SL and the game in general is buggered. Sadly I cant see things improving. Fax are best staying well away from Stupid League as it offers us nothing but problems for me

Robbie will not be working cheap either ,I bet he`s wishing he`d never gone back. Good job he has his media work to fall back on .

Currently, Super League is not fit for purpose and right now, top flight RL can't afford full time players but chairmen don't seem to be able to admit it. A load of drunks in charge of a whiskey truck.

We'll that's the end of promotion and relegation then. Can't have a Super League without the Bulls!

On their forum they're saying Big Nige is happy with how the Bulls' new board is running the club financially! A man of experience!

How can he assess how the new board are doing? They've not been there long enough!!

SL is an elitist organization, fixing the competition for the benefit of its negligent members. It's basically Rugby Union from the late 19th century.

Sad state of affairs currently in RL. Past few years has seen crisis after crisis at one club or another.

Celtic (twice). Salford, Wakefield (twice?), London, Salford, Bradford (now twice) and that's just in super league!

The World Cup was a success with some good crowds. But it masked the fact that there's a right mess to sort out in the domestic game

Re: Bulls : Thu Dec 05, 2013 1:31 pm  

Farce after farce. Why are they untouchable? Just demote 'em!

I thought ALL these clubs had been vetted by Solly Blake at RED HALL, Hmmmmm
