I have League Express and can't see it anywhere. Must be League Weekly which I don't tend to get.

| Yeah it is the lesser of the two weeklies I meant.
They were right about Chalmers taking over though so maybe something in what they're reporting.

| Serious question - what do you think the Bradford Bulls will gain by hiring him? Seen RLE today he's on £314k a year now with £24k in his pension pot tbh as a neutral observer I think big nige to Bulls is as much fake news as the restructuring of the league's

| Just heard rumours that seal it... Morrisons are going to move their pie plant to the new Odsal business park, complete with the pie equivalent of a brewery tap, called Woodies.

League's what
Sorry.
Fat Nige coming on board may be another RFL penalty to add to the others we've had over the years. He was such a success at Fax and the RFL that I could believe it.
Slow news day I reckon (hope).

| If his arrival at Odsal somehow was tied up with say the stadium being redeveloped it might sweeten the pill.

I couldn't seem to make it upload to the forum, but see this link and you can read it https://ibb.co/fiSYs5
Written by Dave Parker so make of it what you will

| Much to be said for accurate reporting, the RFL own a lease on the stadium, the council own the land.
If it happens, hope we have a club to follow!!!

We've all been saying that for so long, I don't think everyone truly believes it any more. In fact, I think it would come as a little (perhaps unwanted) relief if the club did disappear and save everyone a lot of hassle and money.
Not that I'm saying I want it to. But honestly, wouldn't all our lives be just that bit easier than what it's been like the last few years?

| Typical that Parker gets the fundamental details completely wrong and it's not picked up by the editor.
Aside from that glaring inaccuracy he does refer to two "extremely good sources" which suggests it wasn't a player's mate that told him.
Hypothetically I can't see how a development wouldn't involve some sort of new stadium. Solving the Odsal problem would put the club on much more of an even keel financially since the old ground has been a millstone for 40 years.
We don't need anything fancy either, something on a reasonable scale like Leigh or Warrington would be ideal.
If this were true I can only imagine the reaction from our good friends in Wakey, Fax, Fev and Keefleh
Good job the curse of all Odsal developments is in place. How many pie in the sky redevelopments have their been? I can remember 3 in the past 30 years at least.

| "the Odsal project is well advanced" what happened to the good old days of projects having proper pie in the sky names like the superdome?! Come back to me when it has a proper name.
I'm also not convinced by any insider info that can't differentiate between the lease and freehold.
There have been numerous people on this board alluding to this type of deal whereby the rfl benefit from a new headquarters (surely just a happy coincidence that the rfl supremo now has a good mate currently running the bull's- how lucky was that for nige?...), we benefit from a new stadium most likely on the richard dunne site, and the council benefit from realizing some profit from selling on/developing a sizable well located piece of land they can reinvest elsewhere in the city....all makes far too much good sence for it to happen.....no chance.
