It takes many (nest)eggs - and one hell of a lot of tiresome investigative work - to crack an RFL omelette.

Many journos are trying to guess what has happened over the past 8 years, and though many get some of the facts right, all of them have never truly connected the increasingly murky and (allegedly) corrupt dots.

The full story and the truth, and the correct facts (with evidence) will be coming out shortly and hopefully before Xmas.

Several forum members still understandably question us, our motives, and why we are using this (excellent) forum as a conduit to gradually transmit our updates and messages etc. However, those who we want to listen (aka 'the bad uns) are now hearing us loud and clear (e,g AC/ NW/ MS/ RR/ SH/ KM/ KE etc).

Honesty and integrity are two words that have been sadly lacking in our club and our sport for many, many years. Like it or lump it, we will continue to strive to do the right thing for the Bulls and our sport. But only time will tell whether or not we do in fact succeed.

You are acutely aware of the strong possibility of some questionable RFL influences. Enough I would have thought, to feel confident of achieving your objectives.But they remain unclear.Are you merely in a position to prevent the fall of the Bulls or are you the Messiah? You appear confident of your appraisal..but not so of a solution. Which negates the argument in a way.I feel that you are merely providing a commentary and not being a catalyst for the change of fortune we need. You are very welcome sir to PM me of your true intent.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

More akin to the latter, BUT messiahs in RL are thin on the ground. The club has had far too many false dawns, and the current set up is allegedly as false as it can get !

As you will realise many so called Bulls fans on this sub-forum are just serial moaners and cynics, and may even find cause to complain if for example the Bulls were once again winning Grand Finals year after year and stuffing the likes of Wigan on a regular basis. Many members on here have also not attended an away fixture (or for some a home game) for many a year, and thus some may no longer view such members as still being fully bona fide fans. In addition, some members on here are mere voice pieces for the bad uns.

Anyhow, so be it. That's life on a forum and social media. We will PM you on a strictly pvt and conf'l basis probably later today. We are presently in PM contact with many supportive members.

That's a tad unfair and you know it.

If we hadn't been phuqqed up the 4r5e serially, we'd not be serial cynics.......We've seen this all before, "we know whats wrong", "we'll live within our means", "we'll be honest" ad infinitum.

So you could be Jesus Christ himself and only the most optimistic are going to take any more than passing notice.

So far you've told us what we already know so people are going to ask you if you are going to shyit or are you gonna get off the pot?

I think your expectations are too high.

That doesn't explain Thorne though...

The administrators preferred bid wasn't going to be accepted because Chalmers and Lowe and already been told prior to Christmas the club was theirs, it would be a rocky road to get it going but it was theirs.

Also when Lamb was knocked back because he couldn't produce £1m over the weekend? Again the choice of the Administrator.

Koukash actually goaded the RFL on twitter saying 'I can have a million in a suitcase on your desk on Monday, can I buy the club?'

Every time the RFL has made it clear they are not parting with the lease so what is there to buy?

They will not part with the lease. Why? Especially now their stated aim has failed.


Thing I dont get about the Lamb rejection was Damian Irvine has been tweeting saying they had the proof of the million they wanted to see. I can not se why he would lie which then again begs the question why were they rejected? Putting out the lack of funds if it was there was obviously a quick get out.

As per the above saying about Mandy K, I agree Gary Pettit was wanting to accept Thornes bid and took it to the RFL. This must have been the best bid for creditors. Yet the RFL let the club be liquidated to form a new from scratch company. They by rejecting an offer willing to work with creditors let the debt die and then expect the brand to carry on and not be toxic?

I still by what I said Thrne was willing to keep the squad we had in place together. That squad with the likes of Chizzy, Moss Burr etc in my opinion would have got to super league that year at the expense of KR

The squad had the ability to challenge KR. But even if Thorne took over would still have had the 12 point deduction so wouldn't of made top 4.

The 12 pt deduction could have been reduced to 6 if Thorne had paid a significant proportion of creditors back which he was willing to do. That should have seen us into top 4 then we'd have had a decent shot.
