Re: Fixtures, there's no good option really, if Bradford can't fulfill theirs.



Voiding all Bradford's games would be the obvious one, if it weren't for the Magic round. Binning off that whole round and turning it retrospectively into an exhibition would make it an embarrassment and kill it very dead.

Least bad IMO would be a to count all Bradford's games past and future as 1-0 wins for their opponents. Slight advantage to Leeds, but they won the magic game anyway.

If you award everyone 2 points for the Bulls games it has the same net effect as awarding everyone 0 points, apart from points difference changes. I'm not sure there's a significant difference.

It's a cosmetic difference. The best way to cut a poop pie, IMO.

Leeds having played 24 when everybody else has played 25 just looks odd.

Does it work out any fairer if all there remaining games were given as a 1 point draw?

I thought about that, and given that they're a mid-table team it's not a bad idea.



Bradford can't have the other point though - that'd probably be enough for them to reach the play-offs!





Anyway, hopefully it won't come to that.

Nope. Significantly less fair in fact.

Looks like their website is down now

The only 100% fair way is to expunge all their results plus Magic Weekend. The extra PR hit compared with the Bulls being liquidated and unable to complete the season would be minimal.



Hopefully it won't come to that because all the options are poor ones no matter how fair they may be.

They've got Harris pontificating on 5Live now

Not just down, either. Looks like it's been removed from the server. Unpaid hosting bill or the next step on the road to liquidation?

Perhaps the RFL and the other clubs will allow a new Bradford club to take on Bradford Bulls' fixtures for the remainder of the season, should they be liquidated in the next week and should a new company be formed.



Whether they'd take their place in Super League next season is another question.

Rumoured that lynch is owed money by them
