GEOFF Toovey is very close to getting the green light as Bulls coach.
The Australian's hands have been tied while he waits to be granted a working visa.
But the administration stages are understood to be finally going through to clear the way for Toovey to get stuck in to the job at Odsal – and it could happen in a matter of days.
Club owner Andrew Chalmers told the T&A: "We are hopeful that it is going to be imminent.
"There are a lot of pieces to it but without going into all the detail, we will get there. It's just the process we've had to go through as a club.
"We're just having to work within the constraints – but we're not letting it get on top of us.
"We're keeping our heads down and the team are committed to making a success of this season."
Chalmers also rubbished any suggestion that Toovey might have been having second thoughts because of the delay.
He said: "Of course he is committed to the club. There are no worries on that front."
Leigh Beattie continues to oversee first-team matters on an interim basis and will continue into Sunday's home Championship clash with Batley.
Chalmers said: "Leigh's media persona has just rocketed up! But it's a journey and we're all up for it."
