off contract players will have to be replaced, it was hard for Widnes to contract top players once they knew they were granted a licence fo SL and they had more time and a backer. Going to be harder for the Bulls as time is against them, even if they do keep the licence

The relevance in this case would be whether someone was around at the time of said events or not and could therefore be expected to know what happened. But don't that get in the way of your jerking knee.

Now with 4 bids on the table, who rekons the bid from SL(E) will be accepted and we will get put into the CH next season, that may just be the cynic in me talking

If there is an alternative bid that pays off enough of the debt to justify retaining our SL license I reckon that might be successful.

If they had they would have bought us by now.

We're well past the stage where a buyer, intent on keeping us in SL, has anything to gain by dragging this out. In addition to minimising the purchase cost, a prospective buyer needs to have a strategy in place to make us competitive and cut our losses next year. The longer this saga continues the worse are our prospects, competitively and financially.

Not sure i agree, I can see your point of view, the 4 unconditional bids now need to put their business plans together, all 4 (bar maybe SLE) must think they can make money or at least break even, why even bid if not???? - obvious there is no sugar daddy prepared to fund us, that is one conclusion we can potentially draw?

and?????

I wasn't around when the Northern refromed in 1964, does not mean I do not know what happened or have an opinion???

ever since the middle ages man (and woman) has had the ability to record events on a form of wood, these records (we'll call them books/documents etc...) tend to last a lot longer than peoples memories......

I know where my knee should jerk.....

Really, based on what? Just what benefit would there be to the RFL in that? Or are you suggesting they just don't like you?
