after the treatment of taylor, souths is the last cub anyone should be signing for.



on a sidenote:

how poor are bradford gonna be next year

Could Bradford lose their licence?

If they do what they did to Adrian Morley (turn a skillful second row forward into a big hit machine) with him his shoulders will last 12 months.

For selling a player? Didnt know it was part of licensing application that you werent allowed to sell ur best player.

Every year weve sold our best player..fielden, les, hape, now burgess..life goes on means likes of whitehead or donaldson will step up.



Hall will go on bench in place of burgess a loss but not gonna cripple us plus the 25ok will do nicely for a player who can leave to nrl for nothing end of next season.

Every year you've sold your best player and every year the decline of the Bulls during this period has been evident.



Do you see a connection yet?



400K for Fielden didn't stop the rot, and 250K for Burgess will only help balance the books after a season of poor crowds.



Bradford are sadly in terminal decline.

Consistant poor performance and low crowd attendance coupled with not winning anything or over three years is what the RFL will consider. If you thought about what I had posted then maybe we could have a proper dicussion about the complete mess Bradford are in.

WTF are you talking about, by your criteria Leeds will be playing themselves week after week!!

Leeds havent won everything for three years, and by no means have we won the GF this year either. I hope we do win it but there are three other teams in contention.



My point about Bradford is that since their success in 2005 they have each year lost more and more games. Their attendances have dropped year on year.



Why allow a faltering club a licence when another club could be more finacially viable for the Super League.

Other than Catalans I believe all Club average attendances have fallen this year?



The Bulls finish to the season made them the form team in the competition and with better players replacing those leaving for next season (Burgess excluded) then they are arguably stronger than they have been for some time.



I think Salford and Wakefield/Castleford need to worry more about franchise criteria, all three play at slums and have contributed absolutely nothing in terms of providing serious competion since the advent of SL.

Agreed those three clubs are in danger also, but Cas and Wakie have made the play-offs this year and Bradford haven't.



I want a good Bradford side in the league. Some of the best games I've seen (win or lose for leeds) have been Leeds vs Bradford either at Headingly or Odsal. The only reason Bradford had a surge at the end of the season was because it was mathamatically possible for them to finish 8th and make the play offs. If it was the old top 6 play-off system then IMO they wouldn't have finished so strong.

I think you have it in for the Bulls, they more than match any other side in terms of "right of franchise", not making the play-offs has nothing to do with it.



Your "I hate the Bulls" prejudice has been duly noted.
