I've been paying monthly subs to BullBuilder since it started but I'm really struggling to see the point if we can no longer even compete with Keighley for our own talent.

I despair of this club sometimes.

Please dont stop your contributions. We do so much more than people see in terms of helping and supporting the young lads. Our focus is the Acadamy and Scholarship not how the club opporates financially with regards the 1st team.

I understand RB, I served on the board for many years from start up. I'm just getting close to the point where I'm not sure if I'm really that interested in continuing with the club. I've lost faith in the ownership and management of the Bulls and when time and money is precious you really have to spend it doing something you're enjoying.

Isn't the point of the Academy and Scholarship to produce players for us?

I didn't realise it was there to produce players for Keighley.

Losing the talented spine of our team to Hull KR was a bitter pill, but losing our young talent to K-Town is beyond the pale.

I'm glad I haven't got that ST yet. I may be saving some money.

This is how I feel.

You do have to wonder what they've offered him. He was heavily linked with a move to SL. You would also hope that he would have been a priority for us if he was willing to stay in this division.

It is a humilation and it is probably the biggest punch in the gut the supporters have had. You do have to wonder what happens if Keighley don't quite have the season they hope for though.

I'd heard the Cougars were looking to copy the Bulls and launch their own version of Bullmania

The Doyle rumour was firming up in the Coral stand yesterday. Sounds like they’ve offered him one of the biggest part-time deals in the Championship. When added to his main job wage, it was more than Leigh were offering for him to go full time.

We can try and rationalise it and make excuses as much as we like but the fact is that our best young forward that has come through our academy is leaving for Keighley.

I'm sure they're loving this at Cougar Park and why wouldn't they. Fact is this deal makes me wonder why it's worth continuing to bother about the Bulls while they're being run into the ground again.

That's the final destination. We've seen this all before three times. Even the most ardent fan knows this deep down.

I've given many hours of free time in a voluntary capacity over the years and God knows how much money but feel as if we've reached a tipping point now.
