Funny, definitely not but it’s just an expression of speech as in funny peculiar as opposed to funny hilarious.
On the one hand we call for ambition then on the other worry about the consequences when the spending goes up.
In any case, regardless of the make up of the comp if any club can’t calculate the implications and goes for boom or bust when there is just one place up for grabs with the history of how that can work out, the history of how SL and the RFL can change the rules at a minutes notice and the strength of the opposition then there’s only themselves to blame.

To be clear and not wanting to sit on the fence, I was referring to Bradford.

There's nowt funny about that. It could put some clubs in serious financial jeopardy if they haven't done their sums right. Another typical rugby league cock up! It's never ending.

Yes it was more an ironic funny than a ha ha funny , clubs have spent loads of money now we’ve changed the goal posts and for the league below we know everyone has had there budget cut but we’re gonna throw in 18 hour round trip in there down to Cornwall just because we’ll you know we’re the rfl and we like to do stupid things every now and then .

Im just glad for once that we are able to put together a team that at least gives us hope of a chance of a return to SL. I still see Fev as the best team in the league but there is no reason with the team we have put together we can't be somewhere near and target a grand final place.

I agree , I think we’ve upgraded our halves in terms of game management and short kicking game and bolstered our pack which really did show towards the back end of the season, we now have a nice blend of youth and experience. Grix is keen on players who follow a game plan , many times last season we got into winning positions and started being silly with the ball , hopefully with the new players joining that ll be cut down to a minimum.

Well on a thread that was discussing incoming players to Fax for the 2021/22 campaign that mentions another new RFL cock up that could seriously affect some clubs future how is anyone to know Bradford were being referred to?
To be clear I agree you need to be clearer .

To be fair, I'm not clear on what I'm on about half the time, so how anyone else is supposed to know is beyond me.

That’s understandable, he does get some right but if he gets it wrong he back tracks and says they were in talks etc . His last tweet was that Halifax weren’t interested anymore but that they were still ‘ four big ones ‘ left to announce , it’s my understanding that jouffret and wood are definites with wood offered an apprenticeship with one of the sponsors and jouffret being sponsored by stagefreight , funnily enough the game caller was in Halifax earlier name dropping https://twitter.com/thegamecaller/statu ... 23648?s=21 So that leaves 2 but I guess it falls under the ‘ we’ll see category’

TGC needs a good dose of senokot so when he’s talking out of his booty we can hear him better.
After all he is from Bradford.
