Carrier Bag !!! How Plebeian.I was thinking of using my bags from Harrods or Gieves & Hawkes but didnt want to appear snobby.

I didn't know they had shops like that in Doncaster!

I only use carrier bags from English firms with less than 250 employees these days.

I have to agree as much as it sticks in my throat to say it, Rugby is better for having a Bradford team than without one. But i don,t envy who takes over,as its a very short turn arround time to get sorted before the season starts.

Alas no i only get them when in London however we are getting a Lidl in Bentley

I'd rather invest my brass in an Andolucian asparagus farm Ian!

With a better chance of getting a decent return on your investment

Another day and another story in the T&A - Rohan Smith feeling bad about the club not being able to honour friendlies - firstly there is no club , no players....does he really think fans who have bought season tickets (memberships) and even maybe merchandise are going to care about friendlies when they have lost their money!!

Its not living in the real world and clinging to former glories that spelt the end of the Bradford Bulls - Rohan is still talking like hes the coach - get a grip man you are unemployed and club doesnt exist it has ceased to be.....

They have to launch a club / business with around 3 weeks to go and counting - of course the other clubs want them in they are thinking kerching 4 points from the new whipping boys......which is what they are going to be - should have gone down a level and rebuilt - RFL have just done whats easiest for them which is understandable - they dont have to redo the fixtures or owt like that.

Anyone think its strange that no players have left since the behind closed doors meeting, only ones that we already knew were going beforehand. You would think they would be a mad scramble by the ones left to find other clubs. On paper with what is left they look like they still have a pretty good team.

Also one of the reasons the RFL didn't promote Barrow/Whitehaven was due to the fact that those clubs wouldn't have time to adjust to suddenly being in the championship! You really couldn't write it. The RFL= a corrupt joke of an organisation.

Think they are close to announcing a newco.The lad Fax/Wakey have offered a contract to is waiting to see what the newco comes up with.

My contact in Whitehaven tells me that they were never asked or Workington or Barrow

From the hammerings that Toronto gave us and from what RM says it sounds like they would have been the perfect fit for the Championship.

Mmm? I wonder why?

They shouldn't lose a game all year. They look a more than formidable side for league 1

I'd have said pretty formidable for our league too, might have lost a couple of games but not too many IMHO.

Salford allegedly offering to loan New Bulls players. Could your DR agreement be the shortest so far?

Who would they have signed for though? Most of the ones who are higher-end Championships players/lower-end SL players have gone; and most of the Championship clubs have either got their squads sorted or haven't got any money to sign reasonable-quality players. For the players left, their best option was probably to stick around and wait; as you say, Bradford might end up with a reasonable squad anyway.
