Dang. There is literally nothing about that deal that did anybody any good.

One of the best deals the council ever made, imo.

Of course it took two parties to agree to it, and if our then board hadn't been quite so gung ho about how they were going to get such an unbelievable team, that would attract, oooh, who knows, 50k for home games per week? then maybe they might have gone through the small print little more closely.

How do you know "Recently" Exiled ? Best check my possessions for tags

Ah, assumed given it was your first post that you were a recently departed player. It didn't occur to me to check when you first signed up. The kind of due diligence can take weeks.

Particularly when it seems to me unlikely that a player's dad would know that. Makes you wonder who it actually is.

Very true.

I'm sure Huddersfield can muster a Bradford Bulls select team themselves

Hope something can be sorted out for Luke Robinsons sake, be a shame if he misses out

Luke Robinson was on Pulse radio last Wed on RHP show (when Leon did his speech) and he was hoping it would be ok but were working towards Batley as a back up testimonial fixture.

I'm playing catch up so someone may have already mentioned this.

Yeah, the local taxpayer did well. I was thinking in terms of the RFL's behind closed doors decision to take it on, making us the subject of a morality tale that must play out.

Well indeed, that again was a brilliant deal for the other party. Particularly when they didn't pay the full whack for the lease, in order to get back a loan they had given us [again, behind closed doors, iirc?]. An even better deal for the RFL when, surprise surprise, we went belly up a short while afterwards and if they hadn't taken the loan they'd have got pennies in the pound from admin.
