Eddie Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 13 minutes ago, Harry Stottle said: Mr Beaumont said in relation to the announcement:- “As a club our goal will not change on Monday- it will remain to be a Super League club in 2022. That goal will simply become more difficult to achieve if we are to have to compete with other Super League clubs to achieve it, rather than the Championship as planned. “The anticipation is sure to grow over the weekend. I hope my fingernails do too, as I have nothing left to bite. “It’s just a shame five of us will feel a little deflated on Monday, but I am sure if we are one of them, we will be able to find some satisfaction in the joy it will bring for the successful club and everyone concerned with it and keep working hard towards our goal.” If he thinks it would be harder to be in SL in 2022 if they’re chosen as the 12th team, why is he applying? I don’t get that at all, unless I misunderstand what he’s saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to think SL have pulled out all the stops and booked out Alverthorpe Working Men’s Club for this groundbreaking event. on the tarmac at Ringways with the engines running so Elstone can get out of town fast before he is lynched...fueled for the long flight to Oz to pick up Vlandys cheque..

Apparently there are 3 SL player's - so I'm told - if Leigh get the nod on Monday who will be announced as joining the club in the not to distant future, albeit I should imagine if they are available they will end up at whoever the nominated club is.

Yeah I get that, but why apply if he thinks going up next season if they don’t get the nod will be easier than staying up if they do? I’d have liked it if nobody had applied tbh, the half tv money offer is shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one post on this Scotchy, that is so very true that he overspent, most definatley on the quality of the *rabble he was paying, the others that took the hit were the fan's who spent good money paying for season tickets and also turning up to watch them. The wage bill very nearly equaled the SL cap, paid for playing in the Championship which pre season every scribe and expert had this team winning the Championship easily, I could think of quite a few of that squad who stole money with the effort they put in.

Mumby Magic Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 ......and Im a Bulls fan. I am personally dreading Monday. We should be 6th on the list of applicants. I feel the integrity of the sport rests on Monday's decision. I feel the Newcastle decision was the correct one and similar decision like this needs to made. Rugby League needs to be completely transparent and Monday is a good day to start. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Plow Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It won’t happen surely. I’d put Leigh ahead of Bradford. Toulouse, York and London are the obvious favourites. I can’t see the logic of kicking Toronto out because of their poor finances to then promote Bradford who are infamous because of their poor finances (but they bring a big away following) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Agreed, though I think it will be Bradford (maybe pessimism and lack of confidence in SL at work) . As much as I’d love to see them back in SL it shouldn’t be like this, I’m surprised their application was even considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
