Playing catch and reading about Bulls/Northern select whatever a solution dawned on me.

We should have both a Bulls and a Northern side playing out of Odsal, stick Northern in Champ 1.

Everybody wins! More games at Odsal and a new team in C1.

Which would help better develop our youngsters/fringe players as they can play in L1 and we could finagle the salary cap by having certain players registered with one club but loaned to the other.

It's such a brilliant wheeze, you wonder why no other club has thought of it before

Great idea. Soddit, lets restart Manningham too, and have them play out of VP.

Like that, Northern could be the academy/U23 side. Till next year when they go up and the Bulls go down...

But I still don't see it actually *solving* anything. I guess it would help with transparency, but I find it hard to believe that we wouldn't just end up in a death by a thousand cuts indecisive mess. That said, I'm up for getting my hands on some shares. Where do I sign up?!?

Again this was all just rumors and nothing happened.

Damn, I sort of hoped there was something in it, to give creditors something back and stop the regular depressing news that player X signed for Huddersfield, Salford et al

Indeed. But if there is no big money backer then we won't progress out of not existing. Think of it this way - under this model we all get to play at being a mini Omar, Marc, Ryan Whitcu*t, Chris Caisley etc. What larks eh?

I was expecting an all trumping super bid to come in and take us straight out of admin.
Oh well looks like a week of constantly checking social media instead of working again!

we could in theory have a new owner for the select game on Sunday.

also on a positive note we still have Moss, Chissy and Burr from the training picture and what chistolm has posted on social Twitter.
