I can't see where the similarities between us now and Featherstone and Leigh a year ago come from, apart from the fact that we all didn't have many players before the season started.
Featherstone have an established DR agreement with Leeds, which they used well. (And they bought our star HB who worked wonders for them.)
Leigh have an (admittedly fickle) multi-millionaire owner who will splash the cash when needed. Like he did last year.
We have neither of those things.
What we have is a temporary owner without a Pot to Pi$$ in, players leaving us to join clubs in the league below (for reasons which remain unsaid. But it's money, isn't it?), a DR agreement with [isomeone[/i eventually, and no home ground to play at.

If you believe what they say, we have the entire season's central funding plus money from sponsorship and the circa 800 season tickets sold. We also have considerably lower outgoings now that we're away from Odsal, and a much lower wage bill as things stand.
It's frustrating to see players leave, especially when they drop down a division. Is this because we can't afford them or because their trust in the club is damaged beyond repair?

If we don’t have DR then I agree. But it sounds like we will.
I don’t think the ‘no home ground’ will impact how we play.
We’ve made a couple of decent signings, we obviously need a few more. I think we’ll avoid relegation. I think by how much will depend on the quality of the DR partnership.

| As it looks like Toronto are going to be with Widnes, which club options are left for DR?

According to League Weekly, Toronto are signing a Dual-Reg deal with us not Widnes, the 1st 3 players are Greg Worthington,Ryan Brierley and Gary Wheeler

If it comes off, then that's good for us. It boosts up some of the area where we're lacking and it isn't likely the 3 of them would be called back unless Toronto had a massive injury crisis.
Could still do with a couple of forwards though.

The problem you have Mick is your rep for telling stuff that actually comes to fruition is poor so that what you say tends to be ignored , more consistent and accurate statements will help your rep!! #newyearsresolution

| One centre, one centre/half back, and one half-back. Don't they have any big lumps they can send us?

I disagree but you’re entitled to your opinions Dennis.
Happy New Year and have a VB on me.

Mick you have passion and are one of us more importantly. I enjoy your presence on here and whatever the banter..there is a distinct probability of being 100% more relevant than the majority of so called itk's on here! No-one is perfect anyway. Hope you are sticking with your health regime and benefitting from the results.
However, if as muted, you are in anyway in cahoots with the Egg men, then I will no longer be able to envisage you as 'sunny side up".

I agree with you Mick - I disagree. The off-pitch Toronto:Bulls DR was the most obvious clue to me that an on-pitch Toronto DR was a high probability.

| Being a Warrington fan, I miss them big game's against you lot!........I hope you come through this, cos the game need's a strong Bradford side.
Just go's to show how money influences our great game.
We have Simon Moran & Stuart Middleton as major share holder's, but with them it as not about profit, it's about passion!
