Probably been here 1000 times before, i'm quite new and maybe a bit of a traditionalist but What do celtic crusaders offer rugby league? iv watched them at home in SL for 1st time and if they declare more than a 2000 attendance they are lying, team full of third rate aussies making a mockery of the sport. Widnes, Leigh & Halifax fans must be spewing watching that last night, all the sh.it about stadia then let a team play on a parks pitch, They also bring attendances down when they travel, warrington/wigan/saints v. celtic or widnes? or widnes at home to those three (three sell outs).
Iv'e stated the obvious, now i'm off, but bradford must have been super sh.it to get beat by the welsh or were they just the designated team to give them their first win by the stage managment at redhall?

You might have stated the obvious but you completely missed the obvious answer to your question.

I'll leave you to figure it out though.

The answerss (plural) are obvious.

If you can't work them out there's little point in explaining them.

Expansion into Wales will be a fruitless task, Halifax by plenty.

If they'd filled the team up with "first rate" aussies and were top of the league you'd still be complaining about them making a mockery of the sport.

You have to be a bit dim to judge them on their first season.

Indeed ... Remind me again, how many times have Halifax been bust in the last 20 years ?

Are they still carrying that coffin around the ground ? I hope they didn't throw it away, it would have been useful to use again and again ....

Indeed, look at the Catalans first season performance and what has subsequently happend down there ....

Some 'traditional' clubs have habitually been run like some chairman's ego trip and frankly worse that a church fete stall over the years, they've had more than enough chances ... Let's look at someone who has a half-decent business plan and the backing to give it a go.

If we are living in the past then Wales really have done the business in RL haven't they, are you saying any club with a chequered financial past should rot forever due to the people than are no longer associated to the club?

Haven't the Crusaders Academy been producing some tremendous results, including beating our own?

Seem to remember Halifax finishing a season on zero points having won only one game and having those points deducted for financial issues. Precisely what did they offer the league??!!

Not if their fans keep deserting them they wont.

Or maybe now they're good again the fans are going back?

Yes. And their Under 18's won the Gillette National Youth League last season as well.
