Langley insists players are united behind Bradford

Jamie Langley insists Bradford will not be hit with a layer-exodus, despite the club going into administration. There are doubts over whether the club will be able to stage their next home match against London Broncos on July 8 after the latest development, but the forward believes the players' attitude will not change. The squad have managed to maintain their top-eight challenge despite the chaos that has surrounded them since the Bulls hit the financial rocks in April. And Langley says they remain fully committed to their job. "Despite the troubles at the club, the players are aware that we continue to represent the Bradford Bulls family and we will continue to give our all for the Bradford shirt regardless of the problems off the field.

Difficult

"This is a difficult and trying time for all the Bulls players. We have pressures away from rugby like everyone else and it is worrying for us all." 1eaug3, the Super League players association formed earlier this year, is pledging to help Bradford's squad as much as possible.
Sad
Chief executive Ernie Benbow said: "The news about one of Super League's biggest clubs going into administration is extremely sad for everyone involved. "It is the job of 1eagu3 to provide support and assistance to every player at the Bulls and ensure that their voices are heard. "I have already been in contact with the RFL and the administrator to ascertain the full situation and will be meeting with the Bulls players at the earliest opportunity. "Rest assured, 1eagu3 will support the players through every step of this process and fight for their interests." Association chairman and St Helens forward John Wilkin added: "1eagu3 was created for situations such as this. "Without 1eagu3 the players would not be represented through this process and it is important that their voice is heard."
