The Spotlight is on… Bradford: this week the RFL hit Bradford Bulls with a 6-point deduction that leaves them 4 points adrift of London at the bottom of the Super League table.

The Bradford Bulls have been issued with a winding up order that the club says is the result of a misunderstanding. The Bulls failed to pay players wages a couple of months ago and are rumoured to have not paid last months wages as well. Now the club have been issued with a winding up…
The Bradford Bulls may be in financial strife once again with rumours swirling that players and staff have not been paid their wages for the last month. This is basically the same thing that occurred last month when players found that their wages had not been deposited into their bank accounts only to have the…
Bradford Bulls owner Omar Khan has put £900,000 of his own money into the Bradford Bulls to cover a recent cash shortage according to the Telegraph and Argus.

Right now there is a lot of talk about restructuring the Super League and Championship competitions. Some of the idea’s on the table seem alright. Others are completely ridiculous and should not even be up for consideration. The problem with all of the options being put up for discussion right now is that they do…
So the 2012 Super League season wasn’t the best, and heading into 2013 there is nothing to indicate the upcoming season will be any better. Lets not start off on a bad note though! Sure the competition still doesn’t have a naming rights sponsor and clubs are bleeding red ink like every day is that…
It is an issue that fires up a lot of fans and one I think is pretty clear cut. What happens when a clubs finds itself in a perilous financial situation and is fighting for its life. Should a governing body step in and take control of the situation, or should they stand back and let things…
With the Salford City reds currently await a winding up petition hearing and the recent spate of big clubs going bust, it begs the question, what does the future have in store for Rugby League in England? Last season we saw one of the biggest clubs in English RL History, the Bradford Bulls arrive at…
The Rugby Football League’s licencing system has come under fire recently after the financial collapse of the Bradford Bulls showed it up for what it really was. The grading of clubs in such black and white terms was completely ridiculous. Putting clubs into different categories was always going to lead to problems simply because so…
The Bradford Bulls will stay in Super League in 2013 but me “monitored”, what ever that means. Probably would have been handy if they were “monitored” in the lead up to them going into administration, but hey, what do I know! This decision will rub a lot of people up the wrong way but it…
Bradford Bulls prop Craig Kopczak withdrew from the Bulls squad before the clubs final game of the regular season against the Catalan Dragons.

Yesterday the RFL announced that it would be ending its naming rights deal with Stobart that saw them give away one of their biggest assets for stickers on trucks. It is interesting to look at the reaction to the news and the way some people have tried to defend the deal or revise their previous…
The Administrator in charge of the Bradford Bulls has made members of the clubs front office and coaching staff redundant today, including head coach Michael Potter.

The Leeds Rhinos have made some very strong statements in regards to the treatment of Rugby League Players by the UK Border Agency. After winger Weller Hauraki finally had his visa granted, Leeds were obviously upset by how long the process took. He missed last weeks game against the Bradford Bulls. This prompted Leeds Rhinos…
I always think that going into a season, you can get a feel for what direction a club is heading in by the little subtle things they have been doing over the last few months. Some things are good. For instance, have you heard much from the Melbourne Storm? No. Thats a good thing, more…
This move has been on the cards for a long time but finally, Matt Orford, who is off contract in 2010, well play in the UK for the Bradford Bulls. The Manly Sea Eagles still have a few players off contract for 2010 that they have yet to sign, Orford being the most expensive of…
This pretty much sums up Super League this move… The Huddersfield Giants have signed St George/Illawarra Tampons coach Nathan Brown to a three year deal.

We all love a good laugh at the Poms, and they seem to love giving us material. Seriously, someone could put together a whole web site that does nothing but take the piss out of them…. Today we had three of the best. First of all, good old Leon Pryce. When God was handing out…

When Harris decided to switch back to Rugby League again, Leeds felt they had a contract in place with him that…
Anyone that had read my opinions in recent years knows I am 100% behind the Franchise system that Super League will have in place from 2009. Promotion and Relegation does not work and that can be seen in the financial position of a number of National League clubs who have gone broke trying to gain promotion. However,…
