No. We know Wakefield provisonally going on what has been said should be comfortably in so that leaves Toulouse who could be somewhere near and although points for winning the competition are tiny, those extra points could see them sneak in there. The only other team on paper anywhere near is Bradford but there seems to be a lot of talk that they are near to their ceiling and their points could reduce rather than improve when it comes to the official rankings. 13 points is likley to be the lowest amount that will get you in and could be a touch higher so York would have to make up 3 points and doing that in the Championship is going to be very hard to do.
Be interesting to see where you think Bulls will lose points from?

There's plenty to be despondent about in the state of the game, from the declining TV revenues to the state of the international calendar.
However, in spite of this, there are some really positive developments across the whole of the English/French game:
- Wigan - new ownership, greater collaboration with the football team, development and commercialisation of Robin Park
- Hull KR - impressive BoD, development of Craven Streat, ownership and future development of surrounding land
- Leeds - largest sponsorship deal ever signed
- Oldham - new ownership group, new £1m training facility asset which can be commercialised and return to Boundary Park
- Wakefield - new ownership and further stadium development plans
- Castleford - new investor and stadium development plans gaining traction
- Cornwall - tie up with Truro and move to new stadium
- Midlands - move to the new Alexander stadium
- Sheffield - investment and proposed move into new stadium with Sheffield FC
- Toulouse - new investor and plans for new purpose built stadium
- Catalan - stadium expansion and development plans
- Huddersfield - new training complex complete
- Keighley - stadium development
- Warrington - perhaps 2024 will be their year
● Bradford. 2 new investors in the last 12 Months. Recently awarded an Elite Academy license. 5 new sponsors on board. Only part time club to have a Team at every level. Making the transition to FT easier. Attendances on the rise.

So its impossible for England to set up a game vs say France? Who live very close to us?
I should of said meaningful international.
Games against France aren't the right preparation for games against Samoa,Aus and NZ.

I agree Dave. Of all the challenges international Rugby League has @BristolDevonCharlie, “neutral” referees is one of the least we should be concerned about or prioritising. In any case, it probably should be discussed to the length it has here, on a “neutral referee” thread.
As for Samoa touring. I am a little torn on the idea. The selfish part of me wants them here to play in a four nation Pacific event. The softer part of me knows how important regular good opposition for England is for the international game. What I don’t get is why are England so bothered about hosting another ###### poor three game series? Surely they would have been better off touring down here and joining a Pacific series.
Because we should all rest assured, we will be damning the RFL again in November 2024 for the same things they were damned for in 2023. Poor crowds, poor ticketing, poor scheduling, poor match day experience. The RFL are a poor organisation for which we have come to expect poor results from.
If England didn't host a series in 2024. It would mean 4 years without any games in England as NZ next due over on 2027
You can't go that long without letting English fans see a game of International RL.

Some big losses for Fev.
Looks like you will be relying on Hull KR massively throughout the season which has its own risks.
Starting 13 looks good but not much after that.

As did Bradford in 2017 following their financial woes at the end of the 2016 season.
When we should of rightly got relegated to League 1 as new club formed. but the other Championship clubs/RFL wanted us in Championship with minus 12 points resulting in relegation anyways.

I doubt it'll be a surprise to anyone, but Workington's season ticket information confirms that the other two clubs in their 1895 cup group will be Whitehaven and Barrow:

I imagine we will play Halifax and Keighley.

It appears that he has listed a charge against land at Featherstone so has lent the club money.
Anyone heard if this is part of a takeover?
Chris Brereton was co-owner of Wakefield and had links with the Bulls in 2019.

Didn't Salford cancel loan owed to council.
Maybe they are wary of signing a new lease if funds aren't available.

Don’t you rate him?.
He scored 3 tries in 7 for Bulls
Will be a good winger. Played FB for us and was awful.
He did get injured twice for us.

Are you suggesting that Fev aren’t receiving any money for their new main shirt sponsors?.
This is the MD for Bartercard
Have a read of his roles explains what they do.

Yes
They didn't pay when they sponsored the Bulls or London.
They give you access to Trade Exchange and you can barter with members.

I think this has become a none story now, seeing as Fev have got a new sponsor on board.
Where in the Fev press release is money mentioned?
-
The big issue for Fev now will be to convince players wages won't be an issue going forward as some may prefer to sign elsewhere as don't have to worry about your wage each month.

Not if we waste money like we did this year.............and definitely not while grading is in place.
IMO Toulouse, Wakefield and Bradford* are the only teams with a chance of getting in SL during the Grading era.
*Bradford appear to get extra points because the RFL own their stadium and want SL crowds in it.
We got 0.89 on the Stadium one of the lowest scores. I guess you missed where RFL are selling the lease too .

Has Bartercard ever given a club actual money?
Bulls got no money out of our Bartercard sponsorship.

What makes you think we won't be challenging?
Maybe I am basing it on the Bulls history but players are wary to sign for a club who can't pay wages on time.

I wasn't having a go ,it was tounge in cheek - we might need em and it will get worse for a lot of teams sadly. But so long as SL is ok it doesn't matter.
Fair enough apologies
I see others think I couldn't wait to post this on the Fev page.
I feel for Fev fans as us Bulls fans are used to the feeling of not knowing what the future holds.
The battle for the playoffs was/is looking exciting next season, without Fev challenging it makes the league worse.

Can we borrow Bradford's begging bucket's please.
That's the issue with the Fev page. Can't have a discussion without turning to other clubs.
As you mention the Bulls we have heard the same before so are kind of experts on this.

Does it? Do you have access to our bank account?
Why else would a club search for external funding to pay wages if the funds are sat in club bank account?
Championship Final League Position Predictions

Posted
SL will go to 14 teams in 2025 and the rest will go into a one league is my prediction. No idea how the league would work outside SL.
