I'm only going off what was reported at the time. Totally agree What was reported and what actually happened will be two different things hence the current mess

Case resolved...

Time to move on.

Fantastic news! Brilliant brilliant news to start the weekend!

Does it mean it's resolved, or does it just mean that the case against the RFL is resolved?

Wasn't their a case against us, as well?

I don't know much about these things but the statement just seems to indicate that the RFL's involvement is finished.

Opening paragraph reads:

The Rugby Football League and Bradford Bulls 2017 Limited have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Bradford Bulls Northern Limited players and staff which brings their employment tribunal proceedings against both parties to an end.

That suggests to me its completely resolved

Superb

If I hadn't already got my season ticket I'd go and get one ....best news this year !!!!

At last, the light at the end of the tunnel is light. And not some administrator with a torch.

onwards and upwards for you now, great news

Perhaps it's just me, but I do have a slight feeling of disappointment. I really hoped to see some skeletons being forcibly dragged from closets!

Great news on one level, but ...yeah...

I won't be surprised if the deal involves confidentiality clauses, and we never really get to find out what the net cash result for us actually was. Unless some sharp accountant type manages in a couple of years time find some clues in the accounts. But if we're stilll around, nobody will be interested y then anyway.

Best news we've had for ages, what with Ethan and Dane signed up, John Kear at the helm, and now this, I can't remember the last time the light in the tunnel was this bright, and wasn't a train.

Great news, like fa says, on top of kear being appointed and players like Chisholm and Ethan being signed on its looking good!

But also like Paul says, I was kinda looking forward to seeing what skeletons the train coming down the tunnel might have illuminated! Lots of questions we now will never know the answer to, but on balance I'm fine with that.

We finally, finally, appear to have a clean slate to start rebuilding properly. Game on.

Hmm the clean slate is probably next year. I fear this Tribunal thing must have taken a wedge out of funds. But hey ho

Thankfully it's over. Let's look forwards now.

I didn't say it was a big slate.... Just a clean one.



We've clearly cut our slate according to our means for this year.

Our press statement was exactly the same as the rfl one. Word for word. There was also the curious appearance of Mr Rimmer at our fans forum. Add to that Andrew Chalmers' complete lack of concern surrounding the whole issue and I reckon that the rfl have covered this, both legally and financially.
Their grubby mits were all over this takeover and I suspect they had a lot more to lose than we did if it ended up going to a tribunal.

I could be completely wrong of course, but that's just the feeling I get from it all.

I second that emotion. It seemed impossible that an off the shelf company without RFL membership could be the instigator or provocateur in this, it would need action from the RFL.

Absolutely spot on Nothus. Also I see the T & A choose to totally ignore this what I think is a pretty important hurdle the Bulls have overcome

It's in the news section rather than the sport section

Thank You. I apologise to the T & A, I only read the sport on line.

Really, really pleased about this. I was expecting a giant spanner to be thrown into the works right before the season and all our optimism to be shattered.

We now have no clouds hanging over us, a good squad, a great coach, fantastic academy and a season with no points deductions to look forward to.

Glad I bought a season ticket and shirt and can’t wait for the season to start.

Especially looking forward to seeing who our new signing is next week.

No, no, no this won't do...I have this strange feeling.... I actually can't wait for the season to start...I don't have this over-riding feeling of dread? It's like a supporting the wrong team??!?

Hopefully, you can finally get back to on-field stuff.

Look North chose to ignore it though, preferring to 'major' on basketball in Sheffield. Who knew it existed and that it demonstrably has more local interest than rugby league?

The said deafening lack of trumpets in the media led to Bongser only now finding out. Chuffed for you all. Enjoy the coming season and give the Wolfpack a celebratory roughing-up next week
