I'd rather see Bradford pull through without having to gid rid of star prospects. However, if they must sell players, I'd like us to go in for Bateman, maybe Whitehead (although, that'd be another second rower).

Bradford got any good, young centres?

They've got a way to go, but they're doing pretty well.

Hope I'm wrong, but I can see it tailing off a bit after such an amazing start. It would have been nice to see the 'rugby league family' rally round Crusaders when their financial problems were made public.

or they want their money back first, the RFL loaned the dulls some money last year, bradford turned round and said they cant keep up with payments so the RLF took odsal clearing the loan but not giving enough money to sort problems.

and lets face odsal would of been the security on any business with RBS so as soon as bradford sold they have come in for their money

Interesting. If true then an administrator or liquidator might seek to challenge the sale of the lease as a preference. This could get quite messy for the RFL.

£103k so far is excellent but they still have to find a further £397 in the next 8 days. This also leaves them needing a further £897k by the end of April, quite a staggering sum really.
An HMRC bill gives the impression that they have been taking PAYE from their emplyees and not paying the Revenue but using it to run the club. If that's the case then the BOD don't deserve to stay in charge at the Bulls.
The RFL/SL need to put in place stringent financial controls to ensure clubs have to maintain a viable business. Whatever is in place now needs to be replaced by something that will stop this state of affairs happeneing again.
Wakey and Cru last year, Bradford now.
That's just not good enough!
