The difference is that the BOD have asked for admin to protect the club from HMRC, following recommendation from the "Independent financial review"
It’s rare that a creditor would get anything like 50p or 30p in the pound in Wakefield’s case Andrew Glover offered to pay some of the "Local" creditors a substantial rate in order to satisfy the administrators that he was a "Good Bet"
Also I suspect (as I have all along) that the Bradford situation will be resolved by a pre-packed agreement and all will be sorted within the 10 day winding up notice, which from memory was only sorted at the 11th hour with Wakey/glover

Thanks for the clarification. Unless money is no object though surely their wage bill will have to be slashed in order to fund future losses? Can't see how they can survive and keep hold of their most talented players.

Get him signed now this guy is good enough for a quota spot. Bloody John is a quota spot lol. Mellars is a average squad player at best LULIA and COckyne this would be irresistable both players make things happen. We are a club going places now Mellars is a passenger Lulia is the REAL DEAL !

Mellers is also on a 3 year deal. AG is not made of money to be able to pay off 2 years of a contract willynilly. He is also not on quota. Now if we were not to take on Mathers. Cockayne to FB Mellers to wing and get another centre, that could be something to think about.

A sensible post. Can't afford to through money away paying off contracts. Think it's a bit early to write off Mathers, but I wouldn't pay him what he's alledgedly on at Cas. How about Walshaw at centre, Mellars to wing and BC to FB?

I think Mellars at wing, Collis at centre with Walshaw and Cockayne at full back should be tried although I think R.A. looks at Walshaw as purely a second row though.

If thats the case it may be worth giving Liam Kay/Sam Fletcher a run out at wing and Cockayne to fullback as they looked sharp in the 9's.

Lulia would be a quality signing playing alongside Collis if we could afford him and lose John.

And you've worked this out from one or two games OMG



Have to say you're closer regarding Mellors - yet to be remotely impressed - much bigger waste than your current bully victim John - still Mellors is a bit big to name call even from the safety of the seats so you stick to beating up on the younguns

I enjoyed Marianos performance Sunday hes going to be a very good RL player unless we keep making daft decisions not to play him. Lulia seen him most of the season the lad is class. Cockyne and Lulia partnership would be devastating. Its hard people who are so jelous when I am correct most of the time you peeps cant handle it

bow down to the Emperor.

If you are going to accuse people of being jealous of you, at least spell the word jealous correctly.

Lulia is obviously good but our game make his stats look better.

My only reservation is that if all the Bulls were so good, and worth picking up in admin.....why aren't they higher in the league?
For all the effort it would take to get him, I'd rather spend time making a good signing for next season. This season we need a prop to give us some go forward. The centres are not great but we still have options before we start flashing cash. That sort of attitude is what got the Bulls in the state they are now.

Yep you were spot on about Hickey, John and Mathers all of whom you claimed to be world beaters. You reckoned Kirmond and Raliegh were second rate Hudds rejects and Collis was a nothing player - not forgetting the props you accused of being midgets who were all the same size as the prop you claimed was a giant. So far I'm so jealous, no really.

However you have a new gift now that I'm truly jealous of. You now have the epic ability to take credit for predicting a successfull partnership even though it hasn't happened and is basically hyperthetical - brilliant

I heard that Frankie isn't too keen on training

Double YAWN

If we signed every centre who has a decent game against us and scores, we should have signed Kirk Yeaman years ago because he's always good for one if not a couple against us.

Despite all the guff on here, Lulia looks extremely talented in a relatively poor Bradford side. He appears to have that rare combination of strength and skill - and for my money looks to be one of the better centres in the leage from what I have seen. Extremely good getting the ball away in and after contact and very good at drawing the man making space outside of him.

I don't doubt that we would be better with him in the side, but we have got to make the most of what we have at the moment so its a bit irrelevent really I suppose.

Its a good job your not in charge as we wpould be racing to admin again I see you havent reduced the number of faces you have (more than a Town Hall clock springs to mind)

What guff, no one said he wasn't good.

Personal guff

End of the day we are not a bad side we are 3 quality players short. Lulia would make it one less!

I would rather we concentrate on the development of Walshaw/cowling/fletcher. Three backs with good potential and with a good hard off/pre season could very well be ready for full time SL.

I would think there will be a few clubs interested in Lulia, he's flown under the radar a little but in my opinion he's been our bet signing for quite some time. Hopefully we'll be able to hang onto him, if not he's certainly good enough to be playing for a side in the top half of SL.

Replacement at Wigan for Carmont??

And who says the mighty Trinity won't be flying high with the big boys from next season ? This season was always going to be a tough task, it was all about rebuilding. With Newmarket on the horizon and the club financially sound we will be a big attraction to some of the players who may have overlooked us previously. The sleeping giant will be unleashed sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

Although I agree with you, the timing will take longer in my opinion.
We won't be signing top names next year as we won't have had everything signed off on Newmarket and we won't have finished in the top half by then. Next year just good names, year after big names (or we will have created some)

I'd say we are a sleeping giant who has been in a coma for quite some time. Glover and Elston have jabbed us with a sharp stick but we are still dozing. Plenty of time yet to wake up and start running
