| Quote ="martinwildbull"I dont get this. He hasnt even made a bid for the club and yet hes hiring props. FC said that they were assessing other prop options even before Carvell left, are we seeing a done hand over deal here? Lamb bids £1 more than bulls 14? Unless hes a big pile of cash behind him I am just not seeing what Lamb is adding to the business other than corporate entertainment. if hes heading a consortium perhaps there are other skills beside a pile of cash, but you would have thought he would put that in the shop window.'"
He meant the way Keith Mason was talking, not Lamb.

Mason was in the studio as a guest, he was very complimentary when talking about us and said he'd spoken to a couple of clubs recently.

Adeybull has never gotten over the fact that Peter Hood hoodwinked him in the Odsal sale fiasco who remembers the Lord Peter of Hood rubbish he spouted at the time.

It's about string - unfortunately the bit about not making a loop and sticking your head in it seems to have been ignored recently at Odsal

| The signing of Mason would be a sign of utter desperation. When has he ever consistently done anything, other than strut around flexing his biceps? He has all the necessary ingredients physically but can never match it mentally. I said exactly the same when he started at Cas last year. A grade 1 parasite.

Yep, welcome to the 2014 Bulls. Desperate is what we are.

And he'd still improve us.

I beg to differ. I've not seen you this season but he would be a cancer on the club.

Right now we're getting relegated. FC doesn't have time to wring his hands, he has to take a chance.

Which is exactly why P&R is not the way to go. Bankrupting yourselves (further) in a desperate attempt to avoid relegation, rather than trying to stabilise. It could/would cause more problems in the long term.

| We said no more players were going after savings made via redundancies, extra sponsorship and winterstein leaving. So money budgeted to pay carvell and sammut should now be available to fund a couple of extra players.
Surprised no ones commented on removal of speedway barrier. Would seem to kill dead all talk of speedway coming back. Would imagine costs of reinstating it would be much higher than amount club are getting for the scrap metal.

Agree on P and R but losing every week is not stabilising. Presumably there is some room on the budget after the departures of Carvell and Sammut and they MUST spend it or the season will be over. Can't see mason being expensive and there are very few options. Relegation = admin anyway.

Oh yeah, I thought something looked different, that would be it!

| I can see us signing any old rubbish if we lose any more props. We've already shown that three is not enough. Last year we had Langley and Evans filling in. This season, nobody.

I assumed it was a case of the barrier in need of replacement due to corrosion rather than weighing the metal in for scrap?

Is it perhaps that no one knew about the Sky deal before the blow was struck on the 31st Jan. and if the Bulls 2014 ltd is not yet granted a full licence (28 days temporary) then maybe the RFL in it's infinite wisdom has withheld the £300k until a buyer of the Bulls 2014 ltd is established?

Can't see us spending money replacing a barrier that isn't necessary for rugby use of stadium.

Or that the £300k wouldn't have been given to the old company?

Mason was on radio Leeds saying he was about to announce his retirement despite interest from a SL club. So looks like this rumor isn't a goer.
